A Statement from Jen & Rich on Behalf of Everyone at The Asylum
After 25 incredible years at the Jerome Grand Hotel, The Asylum has closed its doors.
To our incredible employees, past and present, thank you. Your hard work, dedication, talent, and heart made The Asylum what it was. We could never have done this without you, and we will forever be grateful for everything you gave to us and to our guests.
To our vendors and partners who supported us throughout the years, thank you for being part of our journey.
And most importantly, to our community, thank you.
The amount of love, messages, calls, comments, memories, and support we have received has been overwhelming in the best possible way. Thank you for standing beside us. Thank you for sharing your stories. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate something we never expected to face.
While this chapter of our lives may be closing, we plan to do a lot of camping and skiing through the fall and winter, and maybe be back next spring, closer to home in beautiful Sedona, with a really fun, creative new concept we wanted to bring to the Verde Valley we love.
For now, the greatest thing you can do is continue sharing your memories, your photos, and your stories with us. Keep following along and stay connected as we work toward whatever comes next.
Sincerely,
Jen & Rich
