Hotel Jerome has been the social hub of Aspen since its opening in 1889 at the height of the town’s silver boom, known as the place where all great stories were born and told. As the only Aspen hotel to survive the silver crash, the long pre-ski winters, and the Depression, they’ve seen cowboys ride through their doors, 10th Mountain Division soldiers gather over pints after training on the slopes, and Hunter S. Thompson holding court during his run for sheriff. You can’t experience Aspen without experiencing Jerome.
Located in downtown Aspen, the Hotel Jerome is within walking distance of everything Aspen has to offer: incredible dining, fantastic shopping, nightlife, and outdoor adventures. Breathtaking alpine vistas, backcountry adventures, culture, shopping, and nightlife come together for the best ski and mountain scene in the Rockies. From adrenaline-packed excursions to definitive cultural festivals, there’s something for everyone.
Hotel Jerome has a complimentary ski shuttle to transfer guests to all four mountains at Aspen Snowmass and complimentary airport transfers from Aspen Airport.

Contemporary luxury and historic heritage come together in generously sized rooms that range from 525 to 1265 square feet. Living spaces feature floor-to-ceiling windows for taking in Aspen’s glorious surroundings, while mounted wooden deer heads, tree-stump lamps, and cowhide chairs embody its mountain spirit. The Jerome also has spacious three-bedroom residences with a full gourmet kitchen, inviting living and dining areas, and expansive outdoor space, all with sweeping mountain views.

They partner with world-renowned chefs, winemakers, and distillers to create custom epicurean experiences along with Theater Aspen, Aspen Ballet, and the Aspen Music Festival for unforgettable performances in their ballroom. They even created their own Apres vibe with Bumps to Bumps, their version of caviar and champagne in the hot tub for Apres Ski, and Curling and Cocktails in the Garden for a fun, off-mountain activity.
