Prospect at Hotel Jerome

"Hotel Jerome, Prospect, unfolds as a saga of heritage and contemporary allure in the heart of Aspen's downtown. This must-visit ski destination has grasped the hearts of content creators recently, as it artfully captures the spirit of the Old West with all the modern fixings. The red-bricked façade whispers tales of a bygone era, while Prospect, the hotel's MICHELIN-recommended restaurant, elevates Aspen's gastronomic scene. When you check in to Hotel Jerome it isn't merely a stay; it's a curated journey through time, where the echoes of history seamlessly blend with the rhythms of modern luxury, establishing it as a haven for those who appreciate the confluence of tradition and refinement." - Ty Gaskins

"You can’t just stumble into Prospect in the Hotel Jerome looking for a quick dinner—this is a prix fixe tasting menu meal that’ll last at least two hours. But if you have the time (and budget), dinner can be something really special, with most of the meal made up of ingredients sourced exclusively from Colorado. They really pull out all the stops with dry ice reveals and plates presented over river rocks. If you have commitment issues, or the whole thing just sounds a bit over the top, you can duck into J-Bar, the hotel’s sister restaurant. That’s where Hunter S. Thompson used to hang out for a burger and an Aspen Crud cocktail-meets-milkshake. " - katie shapiro

"Located in the swanky, studiously hip Hotel Jerome, it’s not hard to see why Prospect is one of the hottest restaurants in Aspen. Chef Ross Kilkenny brings a certain California swagger, mirroring the colorful, eclectic space with his au courant menu, as in kimchi rösti with a fried egg and okonomiyaki sauce, or chèvre ravioli with Calabrian chili, charred broccolini, and golden fig. Eye-catching desserts, like an intricate, architectural composition of mocha savarin, dark chocolate and passion fruit caramel, offer a fitting finale. Not that any further enticements are necessary, but a compelling cocktail program provides tipples for every taste (including non-alcoholic options)—just one more reason for the influencer set to snap photos." - Michelin Inspector

"With a new executive chef, the Hotel Jerome’s fine dining restaurant, Prospect, is presenting an all-new winter menu. Ross Kilkenny boasts experience in some of America’s top eateries, including the River Café in Brooklyn, Bouchon in Yountville, California, and Meadowood Napa Valley in St. Helena, California. Try the beef carpaccio with lemongrass oil, cilantro, lime, crispy garlic, and shallots, or the grilled lamb loin with yuzu, carrot, smoked pistachio, and pomegranate. Kilkenny is also putting his touch on additional hideouts within the historic compound — the Living Room, J-Bar, and Bad Harriet — where you’ll also find the always-buzzing Felix Roasting Co., perfect for a morning warm-up (the hickory-smoked s’mores latte is a must)." - Katie Shapiro
