Carol Hooper moved to Aspen in 2001 and has been Head Concierge at The Little Nell since 2006.
The restaurant's reputation precedes itself thanks to chef Nobu Matsuhisa's acclaimed ventures in New York, Los Angeles, London, and Tokyo. Diners can enjoy Matsuhisa's trademark nouveau-Japanese cuisine on the main floor or head to the lounge upstairs for cocktails and sushi.
Best Romantic RestaurantThis modern American restaurant has two dining rooms: one with superb views of Aspen Mountain, the other with eight intimate booths from which guests can enjoy live jazz.
Best WineThe restaurant holds Wine Spectator's Grand Award, and the wine cellar boasts 15,000 bottles!
Best Bar for a Business DrinkThis members-only hotspot has an Old World feel and a variety of spaces in which to drink, dine, dance, or just relax. Overstuffed chairs, a roaring fireplace, and Pendleton blankets from the 1930s bedeck the Great Room, candles and antler chandeliers softly light the dining room, and the bartender can always put a face to a drink.
Best SteakThis lovely French bistro serves a wonderful filet mignon.
