Honeymoon at Hotel Jerome: romantic room and activity choices
Choose a room with space and views for privacy—Junior Suite, Junior Suite, Poolside, One-Bedroom Suite or Presidential Suite all provide larger layouts for couples—then plan romantic meals at Prospect or intimate cocktails in Bad Harriet and spa time at Yarrow. For outdoor romance, use the heated courtyard pool and hot tub (adults-only) and take short walks to Aspen Mountain, the Silver Queen Gondola, and the John Denver Sanctuary.
