Hotel Jerome

Frommer's Review

The historic ambience and superb service at the Hotel Jerome make it one of the best places to stay in Aspen -- for those who can afford it. Jerome B. Wheeler built the Jerome during the peak of the silver boom. It opened in 1889 as Colorado's first hotel with electricity and indoor plumbing, and the first west of the Mississippi River with an elevator. The silver crash of 1893 ended Aspen's prosperity and the glory years of the Hotel Jerome, but today its original splendor has been restored -- and then some. Lovingly preserved and furnished with period antiques, the Jerome is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Each beautifully appointed guest room is spacious -- even the smallest is more than 500 square feet -- and unique, containing luxurious furnishings, desks, comfortable chairs, queen or king beds with down comforters, and plush robes. Bathrooms, finished with white marble and reproduction octagonal tiles, boast oversize tubs and separate showers. Resort fees of $15 to $30 cover parking, Internet, and other niceties.
