The grand hotel, which quickly became the epicenter of Aspen's social and commercial life, was considered a modern marvel. One of the first buildings west of the Mississippi River to be fully lit by electricity, it featured 90 guest rooms, 15 bathrooms, indoor plumbing, hot and cold running water, steam heat and an elevator.
After the "silver crash" of the 1890s, the hotel fell on difficult times and struggled to remain open until the 1940s, when Aspen was re-invented as a ski resort. The Hotel Jerome was restored to its former glory, becoming popular with the movie stars who put Aspen on the world's celebrity map.
The hotel was renovated in the mid-1980s and again from 1999 to 2002. These renovations included upgrading the hotel's facilities, enlarging it with a four-story addition and grand ballroom, and refurbishing the J-Bar, guest rooms and main lobby.

History
During the height of Colorado's silver boom, the Hotel Jerome was born of the vision of one man: Jerome B. Wheeler, the co-owner of New York's Macy's Department Store, who built the hotel in 1889 to emulate the great European hotels such as London's fabled Claridge's - and to create an aura of cosmopolitan civility in the raucous mining town.The grand hotel, which quickly became the epicenter of Aspen's social and commercial life, was considered a modern marvel.
