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 sirlver chars, the long pre-ski-resort winters, and the Depression, Hotel Jerome has seen everything from cowboys to 10th Mountain Division soldiers to Hunter S. Thompson gather round. You can’t experience Aspen, without experiencing Jerome.
