The Hotel Telluride, which is just steps away from downtown, offers a convenient home base with a free shuttle to trailheads, dining spots and the local Town Park, which is home to countless festivals.

The Hotel Telluride Clientele: East coast families who love western charm.

Like in most ski towns, Telluride hotels love western-chic decor and the pet-friendly Hotel Telluride is no exception. But strip away the antlers and you’ll find pillow-top mattresses, cushy in-room slippers, and hot tubs ready to soothe achy legs after a lap on one of North America’s most classic ski runs, Palmyra Peak.
