Built in 1889 at the height of Aspen’s silver boom, Hotel Jerome is the town’s original high-end hotel and, more than 130 years on, is still one of its most luxurious.
The only hotel in Aspen to survive the silver crash, the Depression, and the long pre-ski winters, Jerome has accumulated a guest list that reads like a cultural history of America. Cowboys, 10th Mountain Division soldiers, Hunter S. Thompson holding court at the J-Bar. The stories are part of what guests pay for.
The modern hotel delivers serious luxury alongside that history. 93 individually designed rooms, the Michelin-recommended Prospect restaurant serving high-altitude Colorado cuisine, and the Yarrow Spa for post-mountain recovery. What makes Jerome stand apart from Aspen’s newer five-star options is that no amount of money can manufacture what it has. Voted one of the top three resorts in the US by Travel and Leisure, the property remains the benchmark.
