Hotel Jerome

Famous Aspen Hotel

Description

This hotel is one of Aspen's historic treasures left over from the heydays of the Silver Boom. Macy's president Jerome Wheeler (hence the name) built the hotel, and it opened with a grand gala in 1889. When the silver market crashed, so did the hotel, and it struggled to stay afloat throughout the 1900s. Of course, when Aspen became the ski hub of the stars, the hotel received a second life. But it was not until the late 1980s that a complete restoration catapulted the hotel to new heights of luxury. The rooms range from "Deluxe" to "Grand" to "Premier." The spacious suites look like something straight out of Victorian England. The rooms have individual charm and each feature: huge beds, down comforters, handmade furniture, and period antiques.
