Tucked beneath the snowcapped peaks of Colorado’s Elk Mountains, Hotel Jerome stands as one of Aspen’s most iconic retreats. With more than a century of storied indulgence behind it, the landmark property is known for its refined glamour, character, and impeccable attention to detail. This season, Waterford joins Hotel Jerome in celebrating the spirit of the season through light, craft, and the moments that bring us together.
Across the hotel’s historic spaces, crystal delivers light and texture backed by 240 years of craft expertise. In the basement speakeasy and snow-lit garden rooms, on the sparkling holiday tree and tables set for celebration, each piece brings Waterford’s signature brilliance and design to Aspen’s most sought after rituals.
As the first snowfall transforms the city and winter arrives, Hotel Jerome welcomes the season with a ceremonial tree lighting. Inviting guests and locals alike, the event marks the start of some of Aspen’s most magical months with an intimate evening of celebration and refined tradition. Throughout the season, the lobby features an unforgettable scene of winter elegance. Across a range of designs, light dances through Waterford’s and Holiday Heirloom ornaments, crystal figurines, menorah, sculptural vases, and sparkling candle holders. Selected for the ability to reflect and refract the mountain light, each piece comes together to create a layered ambience. From the grand tree in the entryway to the storied lobby, the decor brings style to every corner. Waterford’s ornaments—including the coveted Annual Snowcrystal and exclusive miniatures—are tucked into unexpected nooks, lending moments of discovery and sparkle throughout a guest’s stay. The experience continues in the Cabinet of Curiosity, a hidden gallery space and in-room offering that invites guests to bring home a piece of the magic.
At The Living Room bar and lounge, winter indulgence arrives with a flourish. Guests are invited to savor the Season of Radiance cocktail, a bespoke creation that blends mixology with a touch of theater. Poured into a Lismore Essence Coupe and paired with a take-home Lismore Red Bauble ornament, the cocktail is both a tasting experience and a keepsake. Served together, the drink captures the drama and elegance of Aspen’s most spirited months with a toast to remember.
In a space defined by elevated rituals, the most exclusive offering of the season arrives tableside. The Mastercraft Vodka and Caviar Experience pairs two of the world’s finest delicacies—Petrossian caviar and chilled vodka—with two of Waterford’s most intricate designs: the Irish Lace Caviar Set and 12-Piece Vodka Chiller. Mouth-blown and hand-cut in Ireland by master artisans, these heritage pieces transform a moment into ceremony. Offered only to select guests or by reservation, the presentation is as rare as it is refined.
Descend into Bad Harriet, Hotel Jerome’s sultry underground speakeasy, and you’ll find a space defined by intimacy and intention in the details. Known for its mixological precision, the bar’s cocktail program is a tribute to powerful women.
The Waterford by the Glass experience invites guests to explore rare spirits and prestige pours through a curated lens. Each wine, whiskey, or cocktail is matched to a Waterford crystal vessel chosen to elevate its character and complement its story. Lismore Diamond Double Old Fashioneds amplify weight and warmth, while Lismore Essence Champagne Coupes and Wine Glasses enhance clarity and aroma. And for those who prefer martinis, the Lismore Diamond Martini Glass adds just the right edge.
Designed for discovery, each detail adds to the moment: the balance in the hand, the precision of the rim, the light dancing in crystal. In a space where nothing is by accident, Waterford is right at home.
Golden hour in Aspen will always be a moment worth pausing for, but at Hotel Jerome this winter it welcomes a new ritual. In the reimagined Garden Room guests can experience Après Tea, a decadent interpretation of a timeless ski tradition. Here, special TEALEAVES blends are served alongside Louis Roederer champagne, jewel-toned bites, and delicate cocktails infused with mountain botanicals. The experience is equal parts timeless and modern, poured in Waterford crystal. Lismore Essence Diamond Flutes shimmer with each sip, while Lismore Diamond Tumblers add clarity and depth to the infused cocktails. Beyond a tea service, Après Tea marks an ode to alpine elegance expressed through taste and stunning design.
Winter at Hotel Jerome is a study in intention, ambiance, and artistry. And throughout it all, Waterford lends our signature clarity and brilliance to enhance each pour, capture and refract candlelight, and invite guests to savor the moment together.
