Come to Telluride in the winter for snow sports, or during warmer months for hiking, music festivals, and wildflower-viewing. Set in the San Juan Mountains, part of the greater Rockies in southwestern Colorado, Telluride also offers plenty of historic charm, thanks to its Victorian Era past as a mining town. These days, staying here offers a choice of luxury resorts and condo-style accommodations, many with ski-in, ski-out access in the Mountain Village, which is a gondola ride away from the historic downtown. Here are the best hotels in Telluride.
The Peaks Resort & Spa (136 Country Club Dr.; 888-696-6734) Telluride
“Easy access to the nearby slopes and hiking trails,” writes U.S. News and World Report about the largest luxury resort in Telluride. “On the property’s grounds you’ll find two pools, tennis courts, a spa and a game room. The concierge staff can help you arrange a variety of activities, from horseback riding and golf to whitewater rafting and hot air ballooning.” A Google reviewer calls the 160-room lodge “a convenient location with ski valet that makes getting on and off the slopes super easy. Great pool area with a slide for kids.” >> Book this hotel for less
Madeline Hotel & Residences, Auberge Collection (569 Mountain Village Blvd.; 855-923-7640) Telluride
Neighboring both Mountain Village and the Telluride ski resort, this Auberge resort “looks like a traditional chalet and guests adore the plush furniture, soft linens and rustic feel of the guest rooms,” writes U.S. News & World Report. “An on-site concierge can plan a plethora of local activities for guests, but resort and parking fees are expensive.” A Google reviewer likes the “bathroom features of heated floors, shower steamer, and huge tub. We attended several onsite activities like s’mores, live music.” >> Book this hotel for less
Mountain Lodge Telluride (457 Mountain Village Blvd.; 970-369-5000) Telluride
U.S. News & World Report calls this ski-in, ski-out resort as “a boutique-style mountain oasis” thanks in part to the “free shuttle to the gondola and Mountain Village Market.” Choose from condos, suites and even log cabins, as well as 185-square-foot “lodge rooms” suitable for couples or solo travelers; the hotel has both a pool and hot tubs. A Google reviewer writes that “the shuttle is convenient so we didn’t need a car at all. You can walk right onto the disk golf trail and hiking and biking trails are right here too. We also loved the pool and patio area with an amazing view.” >> Book this hotel for less
The Hotel Telluride (199 N Cornet St.; 970-369-1188) Telluride
U.S. News & World Report describes this boutique hotel as “reminiscent of a European chalet-style ski lodge,” thanks to its grand lobby fireplace and “wooden ceilings and light fixtures made from antlers. Cozy blankets accent the beds, luxe bath products line the tubs and private balconies overlook the mountains.” Onsite amenities include hot tubs, a free shuttle and loaner bikes. A Google reviewer likes that “it’s really easy to walk in town for meals but they also have a shuttle that will take you. The lobby has free coffee all day.” >> Book this hotel for less
Fairmont Heritage Place – Franz Klammer Lodge (567 Mountain Village Blvd.; 970- 728-3318) Telluride
“For families or groups, it’s hard to beat a stay at Fairmont Heritage Place, Franz Klammer Lodge,” writes Travel+Leisure about this 62-unit, condo-style resort centrally located at the base of Lift 4. “Each room has a full kitchen and comes with complimentary ski valet and transportation to and from both Telluride and Montrose airports.” While there’s no restaurant, there is a spa and an indoor-outdoor pool. A Google reviewer refers to it as “an iconic property and the choice location in Mountain Village. The feel is sophisticated but family-friendly. Walking access to the ski lift, village businesses, and gondolas meant we didn’t need a car.” >> Book this hotel for less
