5. Hotel Jerome, Auberge Resorts Collection
Sitting in the heart of Aspen, Colorado, Hotel Jerome evokes a sense of true ski lodge luxury with ornate stone fireplaces, plush furnishings and a blend of rustic and contemporary decor. Recent guests raved about the spacious yet cozy guest rooms at this Auberge property, which come complete with flat-screen TVs and bathrooms with separate tubs and walk-in showers. Meanwhile, the on-site Auberge Spa at Hotel Jerome provides a full menu of services geared toward helping you unwind after a day on the slopes. And the American bistro dishes served at Prospect and the tasty drinks and light fare at J-Bar are sure to satisfy your appetite. But according to guest reviews, it’s the Hotel Jerome’s warm, friendly staff that makes a stay at this property truly memorable. Travelers say that Hotel Jerome’s employees were quick to handle service requests and offer suggestions for things to do or places to eat.
6. The Hotel Hershey
Neighboring “The Sweetest Place on Earth,” The Hotel Hershey caters to families and travelers in dire need of some choco-therapy. The rooms feature bold patterns, cozy beds (blanketed in Egyptian cotton linens), flat-screen smart TVs, coffee makers, lavish bath products and complimentary Wi-Fi access, but it’s not only the spacious accommodations that have guests swooning. Adult visitors appreciate the kids club recreation program that keeps younger guests occupied when they aren’t in Hersheypark, and they also love the on-site fitness center and abundant outdoor activities. Rather than chocolate, the Hershey Country Club (home to two 18-hole golf courses) and the on-site spa (with sweet treatment options like whipped cocoa or chocolate fondue baths) are the real treats. What’s more, guests highly recommend dining at the one of the several on-site eateries. Though a stay here is expensive, complimentary amenities, such as parking and transportation to local attractions, lower the overall cost of your stay here.
