Michelin Selected

if you want to see what sets Telluride apart from the Rockies’ bigger, busier resort towns, there’s nowhere better to start than a hotel with a generous helping of historic charm
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The hotel stands on Colorado Avenue beside the Sheridan Opera House, an easy walk from the free mountain gondola.
The rooms
Archival mining photographs hang alongside Victorian wallpapers, and acoustic insulation keeps out the commotion from the bar below.
The rooftop hot tubs
Two outdoor rooftop hot tubs stay open year-round, looking out toward the surrounding mountain peaks.
At the table
Drinks are poured on the open-air roof terrace facing the mountains, and mornings begin over espresso in the parlor.
Rooms are decorated in Victorian furnishings with archival photos of silver and gold miners.
How it began
It has been called 'New' since 1895, when owners rebuilt in brick after fire destroyed the original wooden hotel.
“The town’s social hub for more than a century, the historic hotel features two dozen rooms and suites, done up in elegant but updated Victorian style.”
