Prospect Aspen | American Fine Dining at Hotel Jerome, Colorado

Prospect at Hotel Jerome

Prospect, located within the historic Hotel Jerome in Aspen, Colorado, brings a fresh perspective to mountain dining. The restaurant’s menu showcases bold, seasonal flavors rooted in local ingredients, an homage to the region’s natural rhythm and bounty. This commitment to ingredient-led cuisine has earned Prospect a Michelin Guide Recommended distinction and a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence.

The setting is as striking as the food. Custom artwork from world-renowned photographer David Yarrow adorns the walls, with dramatic Western portraits that echo the spirit of the Rockies. The result is a dining room that feels both timeless and unmistakably Aspen.

During warmer months, the Prospect Courtyard opens as a lush garden setting beneath Aspen Mountain. Seasonal blooms and fresh mountain air set the tone for sunlit afternoons, golden-hour gatherings, and unhurried evenings under the open sky. The courtyard pairs Prospect’s seasonal menu with warm hospitality, creating a space that is both relaxed and refined.

The menu changes with the seasons, celebrating high-altitude ingredients and continuing Prospect’s tradition of inventive American cuisine. The kitchen draws from the region’s natural bounty, crafting dishes that are bold and direct. Whether for breakfast, weekday lunch, weekend brunch, or dinner, the cooking stays rooted in the flavors of the Colorado landscape.

Prospect also offers pre-theater dining from 5 to 5:30 PM, making it a convenient stop before an evening out. The restaurant is open for the summer 2026 season, with hours that include breakfast from 7 to 11 AM, weekday lunch from 11:45 AM to 2 PM, weekend brunch from 11:45 AM to 2 PM, and dinner from 5:30 to 9:30 PM.

In a town known for world-class skiing and mountain culture, Prospect stands out for its refined yet welcoming approach to American dining. The combination of a celebrated wine program, a Michelin Guide nod, and a setting that honors the natural beauty of the Rockies makes it a destination in its own right.
