125 Years of Hotel Jerome, Aspen Landmark Celebrates Milestone Anniversary
Aspen, Colorado (PRWEB) November 14, 2014 -- One of the great hotels of the American West, Hotel Jerome, an Auberge Resort, will celebrate its 125th anniversary this winter. To mark the milestone, the legendary hotel has unveiled a series of offerings that capture the hotel’s storied heritage, abiding luxury and timeless mountain character.
Hotel Jerome will offer two packages priced at $125,000, 125 Nights of Winter and Aspen Elevated, providing exclusive perks and access to experience the best of Aspen. In addition, on November 28 – exactly 125 years to the date that the hotel first opened its doors – Hotel Jerome will host a Party Like It’s 1889 celebration to officially begin the anniversary season.
Complete details of these featured anniversary offerings are outlined below although the festivities do not end here – Hotel Jerome will reveal new celebratory activities exclusively online and via social media throughout the season (hint: a cocktails-by-the-era menu at the storied J-Bar, insider tips from Aspen influencers and stylish Après-ski).
Hotel Jerome originally opened in 1889 and has since been an institution for locals and visitors from the early silver-mining days of the late-1800’s, the 1940’s when Aspen rose to fame as the ski resort for discerning travelers and the 1970’s when Hunter S. Thompson was the reigning king of J-Bar. Hotel Jerome completed an extensive renovation in December 2012 that preserved the spirit of the hotel’s heritage and added a contemporary luxury experience.
125 Nights of Winter: a ‘125-night-for-125k’ hotel residency will give visitors the opportunity to call Hotel Jerome “home” and to experience the town as their own luxury playground through weekly adventures, access to the famed Caribou Club, privileged seasonal ski passes and gear:
