Hollywood Then and Now: 11 US Destinations That Keep Celebrities Coming Back

For the rich and famous craving a once-yearly Winter wonderland, Aspen remains the premiere place to see, be seen, and hit the slopes. Sure, most are more interested in showing off designer ski suits and sipping on hot toddies than crushing some black diamonds — but that’s what makes Aspen special: it does après ski as well as it does mountain trials. This diversity of activities hasn't gone unnoticed; pretty much every major celebrity has spent time in Aspen at one point or another — it’s basically part of the illuminati orientation program.

Where to stay: There’s really nothing else quite like The Little Nell, an iconic Aspen property with ski-in/ ski-out access and 28 years of hosting the likes of Beyoncé (yes, THE Beyoncé), Goldie Hawn, and Mariah Carey.
