The Bar/Lounge at Hotel Jerome, Auberge Resorts Collection

"The hotel is still taking its style cues from that era, which is a good thing if you like cozy lounges with gas fires, crimson wallpaper, velvet couches, and crystal chandeliers"

"The new Living Room lounge is a lively gathering space with cozy seating areas, and the legendary J-Bar remains a locals' favorite"

"Thompson was a regular at the hotel’s J Bar; 19th-century silver miners used the property as a boarding house; ghosts are said to haunt the place"

"94 rooms Over a century ago, the rich mining crowd bellied up to the hotel bar to celebrate silver strikes"

"The legendary J-Bar has been around since the hotel opened and satisfies nostalgic yearnings for a Wild West saloon experience; sip a signature cocktail beneath the pressed tin ceiling while sitting on a barstool covered in pigskin"

"The Jerome's long celebrity roll call also includes the likes of Johnny Depp and Jack Nicholson, so expect the hard-drinking nights to resume post-haste at the storied J-Bar"

"Minibars are stocked with complimentary snacks such as organic chocolate peanut butter cups, and downstairs, guests can dine in the Living Room, the signature restaurant Prospect, or the legendary J Bar, which once poured pints for 10th Mountain Division soldiers and Hunter S"

"Ever since its 2012 renovation, historic Hotel Jerome in downtown Aspen has swapped “frumpy brocade lounges for cow print chairs and leather accents,” turning the 19th-century classic into a popular après-ski spot (like a mellower Ace Hotel with portraits of frontiersmen on its walls)"

"While it retains its small-town charm, it now offers Auberge-style amenities like a gorgeously-decorated bar, in-house ski rentals through Gorsuch, a luxe spa, and two full-service restaurants"

"The exceptional accommodations are in one of two buildings: the original three-story brick structure containing the restaurants and lounges, or in a three-story annex"
