Dioriviera opens at The Little Nell as the French Maison’s first mountain footprint and full U.S. spa residency

ASPEN, CO – Dior and The Little Nell announce the opening of a new Dioriviera and Dior Spa residency at The Little Nell, Aspen’s only Five-Star, Five-Diamond hotel, from June 13 to September 2, 2024.

In celebration of The Little Nell’s 35th anniversary and the Fall 2024 Dioriviera capsule collection by Maria Grazia Chiuri, Dior has created an unprecedented experience at the base of the famed Aspen Mountain. Dressed in the same aquamarine Toile de Jouy Soleil as the collection, Dioriviera at The Little Nell includes a Dior Spa residency, the hotel’s pool, hot tub cabana, and a bespoke floral installation created for the season, encompassing The Little Nell’s living wall and gardens. To further enhance this experience, The Little Nell’s resident gardener will provide weekly garden tours inspired by Christian Dior’s love of flowers, offered on Fridays at 4 p.m. As an additional touch point, guests and locals alike can visit the Dioriviera gondola at the mountain’s base.

The Little Nell, a Relais & Châteaux property, offers distinguished guests a cosmopolitan yet intimate ambiance, award-winning wine and culinary programs, unparalleled service, and exclusive adventures and amenities designed to rejuvenate the mind, body, and spirit. With this distinctive partnership, Dior and The Little Nell bring the French Riviera to America’s most iconic mountain town for the very first time, building upon the property’s commitment to offering indelible and transformative experiences to guests.

Anchoring the Dioriviera animation is the Dior Spa at The Little Nell, Dior’s first Alpine footprint and full spa residency within the United States. Adorned in natural materials and the same aquamarine Toile de Jouy Soleil as the pool, Dior Spa at The Little Nell transforms the Spa’s three treatment rooms, reception lounge, and retail boutique.

In this exquisite setting, guests are invited to embark on a magical journey of holistic wellbeing that showcases the best of the Dior Spa expertise. A top-flight Dior Spa treatment program created exclusively for The Little Nell is designed to engage the senses and includes nine signature treatments for the face and body, each designed to help the skin and senses blossom at the height of summer.

Seven beauty-enhancing treatments are available for the face and body:

• Dior Aspen Ritual, the signature Dior Spa at The Little Nell treatment is a 90-minute immersive wellness experience dedicated to body or skin recovery. As an introduction to this treatment, an infrared therapy sauna session detoxifies and prepares the skin. For the body, a deep tissue massage on an infrared mat and an invigorating body scrub offers a true sensory escape while toxins are eliminated, and skin is revitalized. For the face, a holistic mountain treatment redefines facial contours, while LED light and oxygen stimulate breathing and cellular repair.
• The Midnight Treatment is a 90-minute facial that guides guests towards an instant feeling of release. Dedicated to resting the skin and mind, this treatment works to increase the nighttime benefits of sleep for transformed skin upon waking. As a prelude to this exceptional treatment, breathing and meditation exercises slow down the heart rate. Melatonin, the naturally produced sleep hormone, helps promote rest and relaxation. A facial massage using broad and slow movements encourages total relaxation for a luminous, soothed complexion. Combined with LED therapy, this treatment is synonymous with an ode to relaxation.
• L’Or de Vie Miracle, a 60-minute antioxidant facial protocol, gifts the skin with the infinite longevity of the Yquem sap. Like a prelude to plenitude, it opens with a relaxing back massage that extends to the face to relax micro-tensions. The combination of Dior rock crystal with these enveloping movements gives the skin a sensation of harmony and a spectacular visible transformation. To enhance the end of the treatment, a thermo-warming mask imbues the skin with its precious active ingredients. Step by step, the skin gains strength and resistance, while the face radiates with a divine glow.
• Kobi-Dior, a 60-minute facial treatment, is a high-performance anti-aging treatment inspired by Kobido techniques. Reinterpreted by Dior, these techniques infuse their power into lifting muscular massages with rejuvenating effects. Deep and precise, they reshape and plump the entire face. All signs of aging are reduced. Wrinkles are smoothed, contours resculpted, and facial volumes visibly reshaped.
• D-Balance, a 60- or 90-minute body massage inspired by acupressure techniques. This energizing treatment combines specific and rhythmic strokes that tone tissue, release physical energy and return each guest to a state of inner well-being. Bio-rhythms are stimulated to boost energy flow. Deeply detoxified and regenerated, the body is fully revitalized and sees a return to inner strength. This particularly invigorating massage includes 10 minutes of infrared sauna therapy at the start of the treatment and is not available for pregnant women.
• Constellation, a 60- or 90-minute body massage to completely unwind and relax deeply. A holistic massage, including 10 minutes of infrared sauna therapy at the start of the treatment, combined with slow and enveloping strokes for the entire body, aims to release tight muscles one by one. Intensely relaxed, the body becomes a haven of inner peace.
• D-Tissue, a 60- or 90-minute deep-tissue massage for the body, that includes 10 minutes of infrared sauna therapy at the start of the treatment, aims to release tension knots and reoxygenate muscles thanks to highly technical strokes. To help the body feel free again, a combination of strong and gentle meticulous movements helps eliminate toxins and relieve aching muscles. The ultimate high-performance treatment, ideal for recovering after a sports session, for immediate relaxation.

Additionally, two fulfilling Dior Experiences have been created exclusively for the Dior Spa at The Little Nell and tailored to each guest.
