Hotel Jerome, Auberge Collection

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 are told. As the only Aspen hotel to survive the silver crash, the long pre–ski resort winters, and the Depression, we’ve seen cowboys ride through our doors, 10th Mountain Division soldiers gather around pints after training on the slopes, and Hunter S. Thompson hold court during his run for sheriff. You can’t experience Aspen without experiencing the Jerome.
