Hotel Jerome, Auberge Resorts Collection, Aspen

As one of Aspen’s historic landmarks, Hotel Jerome, Auberge Resorts Collection, is a luxurious and grand hotel that holds a prime location on East Main Street, in the heart of the charming town center. The hotel, built in the 1880s is a product of the booming silver rush and became a favorite haunt for Hollywood stars John Wayne and Gary Cooper. Flash forward over a century and this stately brick hotel, affectionately named the city’s ‘crown jewel’ by Aspen’s residents, has gone from strength to strength to take its place as one of the city’s hippest hotels.

Your Room

Hotel Jerome has swapped traditional plush brocades for a stylish boutique decor with a modern twist, paying homage to traditional Native American culture. The rooms are decorated with calming earthy colors, punctuated by striking American Indian patterns and contemporary art commissioned by Aspen artists, creating a fun and relaxing ambience fitting to the majestic surroundings. The custom furnishings, luxurious room amenities, indulgent bathrooms and host of mod-cons embody the spirit of luxury in Aspen.

Why we like it

No matter the years that go by, Hotel Jerome’s sense of history and authenticity remains totally intact. We love the fact that Hollywood’s ultimate cowboy, John Wayne, used to come here in the rat-pack years, accompanied by Gary Cooper. The infamous J-Bar was a swinging spot during the prohibition, where its spiked drink the ‘Aspen Crud’ was all the rage – and is still a cornerstone of Aspen’s social scene today. As an antidote, Hotel Jerome’s spa is the ultimate haven for rejuvenation and relaxation, employing traditional methods of healing derived by the Ute Indians.
