Rowland+Broughton designs addition
to Aspen's historic Hotel Jerome
R owland+Broughton is in-process with design services for renovation and
expansion of Hotel Jerome and the Aspen Times Building in Aspen. Built in
1889 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Hotel Jerome is
an Aspen landmark recognized as one of the great hotels of the American West.
The new design seeks to expand the hotel’s guest capacity by adding eight new
keys along with renovations to existing spaces and an addition adjacent to the As-
pen Times Building. The new rooms, which can be configured in a variety of ways,
will enable Hotel Jerome to attract multigenerational families desiring residential-
style living. Maximum unit size is 1,864 square feet per floor.
Approved by Aspen City Council in May, the new design is appreciated for adding
beds to the town’s hospitality profile, while respecting the historic heritage of the
existing streetscape. Added amenities include a revitalized courtyard between the
two buildings with a pool deck and patio. Groundbreaking is anticipated for April,
with construction completion projected for December.
