Element 47
How to book: WEEKS in high season (Christmas–New Year, festival weekends, peak ski) — reserve well ahead; a top-of-market room at The Little Nell. Ask about tasting-menu vs. à la carte format and the wine pairings when booking. Confirm current days/hours/season live.
Best meal: Dinner — contemporary American fine dining with a landmark wine list, the special-occasion Aspen table at the gondola base. Confirm current menu, format, hours, and prices live.
Who it’s NOT for: Budget or casual diners — it's a top-of-market fine-dining room in an expensive town. Anyone wanting a lively, loud scene — it's a polished, occasion-oriented dining room. Walk-in diners in high season — reserve well ahead; it books out. Anyone indifferent to wine — the wine program is a big part of what you're paying for.
