Hotel Spotlight: Auberge’s Hotel Jerome

Hotel Jerome, Auberge Resorts Collection is an Aspen institution. The 130-year-old historic hotel — part of National Register of Historic Places, no less — draws savvy travelers and in-the-know locals alike. Its original owner, Jerome B. Wheeler, was a business mogul, with a hand in banking, mining and railroads. He opened the hotel in 1889. Today, it’s difficult to think of a more perfect (or more stylish) homebase from which to explore the town and its stunning natural surroundings. Auberge, as usual, knocks it out of the park.

The location itself is prime: the hotel is found right on Main Street, in the bustling downtown Aspen, within walking distance of charming restaurants and boutiques. From its old-west design to its food to its wellness and experience offerings, Hotel Jerome never fails to blow visitors away.
