Su-
perb service and relaxed elegance are the trademarks at the historic Hotel Jerome. A long-
time favorite with Aspen's old-money crowd, the Jerome occupies an 1889 landmark
brick building constructed during Colorado's silver heyday. Rooms are individually decor-
ated with period antiques, double-marble vanities and baths with oversized tubs.
Beds feature lots of pillows and fluffy, feather-down comforters for cold winter nights.
If you just want to enjoy the view, sink into one of the armchairs facing Aspen Mountain.
The hotel also has a great restaurant and lobby, where a hand-carved fireplace is the
centerpiece and guests dine on fish and game served by friendly waiters.
Those interested in the building's storied history can sign up for a tour with the Aspen
Historical Society (
