Element 47
Dining and unwinding in Aspen luxuriousness
VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

The Little Nell,
Aspen’s slope side luxury hotel dazzles with its signature restaurant, Element 47.
Named for silver on the periodic table, and a nod to Aspen’s rich silver-mining history, the restaurant formerly known as Montagna underwent a $2.5 million makeover in late 2012 and debuted with a hip, contemporary look.
The décor — comfortable banquette seating, soft lighting, and large-scale modern artwork — is sophisticated, yet approachable. So is the dinner menu, with seasonal appetizers, medium plates and entrées focusing on locally sourced produce, meat and game, as well as sustainable seafood. The fine-dining restaurant’s wine collection is outstanding: 20,000 bottles are on hand for discerning diners.
