The Little Nell
Dogs get as coddled as their humans at Aspen’s only five-star, five-diamond hotel, starting with the Puppy Jet Lag Kit at check-in, which includes a treat from the pastry kitchen, a souvenir leash, and a bed and bowls to use during the stay. Then there’s the pet menu—locally sourced ground beef with brown rice, carrots, and scrambled eggs that outranks any ordinary kibble. For additional fees, the valet and bellstaff will walk dogs or dog-sit.
Extra tail wag: Splurge on a swank Nell-imprinted leather collar and leash set at the hotel boutique. $125 fee for one-night stay; $25 each additional night. thelittlenell.com
St. Regis Aspen Resort
The hotel has its own canine mascot—Kitty, an adorable 2-year-old Bernese Mountain dog who can fill your pooch in on the best places to sniff and be sniffed. Four-legged guests receive a bed and bowl to use while visiting, plus dog-walking and dog-sitting services can be booked at an additional cost.
Extra tail wag: Treat yourself to a glass of Kitty’s signature cabernet, made by Napa’s Blackbird Vineyards and available only at the hotel. $100 fee for one-night stay; $25 each additional night. marriott.com
