Hotel Jerome, Auberge Resorts Collection

It’s been a long journey for Aspen, from rough-and-tumble Old West outpost to upscale ski resort and playground to the stars. It was arguably the Hotel Jerome itself that kick-started that long upward ride during the silver boom of the late 1800s, when Macy’s co-owner Jerome Wheeler started investing in the town’s properties — starting with what would quickly become the most luxurious hotel in town.

These days it can’t quite compete on sheer luxury with some of its modern counterparts, but in terms of history and Western/Victorian atmosphere the Jerome is the clear frontrunner. Think of it as a swanky, classic city hotel, but one which just happens to be located in a picturesque smallish mountain town — and, come winter, doubles handily as a ski hotel.

Of course there’s a lot more to Aspen than just ski slopes. Pretty much any outdoor activity that doesn’t require open ocean is on offer somewhere in the town’s environs. The Jerome has its own heated pool, and guests have access to the Aspen Club’s offerings, which include a full-service spa and a well-equipped fitness center. And while Colorado and cuisine don’t necessarily always go hand in hand, Aspen’s culinary options, and the Jerome’s restaurant in particular, are among the best in the West.
