The Little Nell

The Little Nell celebrating its 35th anniversary needs no introduction. As a five-star hotel, The Little Nell boasts two restaurants and three bars, each with internationally noted chefs, bartenders, and sommeliers catering to discerning diners. Choose between two unique private dining options here. A well-kept secret, Little Nell’s Speakeasy is tucked behind a bookshelf. Very private — it is available for a “buy-out” with an outstanding selection of food and beverage pairings. This is a casual “den-like” space boasting an 88-inch flat-screen TV, a sophisticated sound system surrounded by couches, a bar area, and a pool table. With a personal bartender or sommelier, the perfect evening awaits.

Little Nell’s Boardroom is another private dining experience perfect for a cocktail reception of 15 guests or sit-down dining for 12. The vibe is sophisticated. Look to Little Nell’s private dining concierge to curate food, wine, and spirits. 

Kenichi Aspen

Noted as the go-to for innovative sushi creations at the base of Aspen Mountain since 1991, Kenichi's Tatami room’s private dining experience is out of the ordinary. All three Kenichi locations including Aspen, Snowmass, and Carbondale offer the private and casual Tatami room. Guests can order from Kenichi’s extensive menu or Kenichi’s chef will assist in creating a memorable dinner for that special evening. Chef’s nightly specials are always available for private Tatami dining. Locals love Kenichi’s signature sashimi specialty, Yellowtail, and Otoro Serrano, which features a hint of truffle oil in the basil yuzu soy. When available, Kenichi offers Serrano style on the Otoro cut of Bluefin Tuna. Your guests will remember this dish and the evening. 

Parc Aspen 

Established in 2022, Parc Aspen is a relative newcomer to Aspen’s fine dining scene.
