Beautiful restoration. Tastefully decorated. Once you entered the hotel, you will feel like time-slipped into the turn on the century. Did not have time to try the spa, but had a lunch and two dinners at Bistro - a casual dining in the courtyard. Everything we had was delicious and reasonable. I would pay extra $20 -30 a day to stay here than other hotels in Ouray!

This was our favorite hotel on our 8 day whirlwind tour of Colorado. We only stayed one night and wished we had more time to stay at the hotel and the wonderful town of Ouray.

As other reviewers have said, walking into this place is like walking back in time. The hotel is immaculately restored to its original grandeur and each room is furnished with antiques. The bathrooms in each room are really nice and spacious and provide shampoo, soap, and lotion samples from the spa in the hotel. We regret that we didn't have time to take advantage of the spa because it looked really nice. The Tundra restaurant was not open the night we were there, which was a bit disappointing. Satellite TV with a DVD player is provided in each room, along with bottled water.

I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Ouray, because the Beaumont looked to be the nicest and most historic. The rates are not bad either, especially if you get the AAA discount. I would not recommend this hotel if you have pets or children traveling with you. Otherwise, I would highly recommend it to anyone else. We would like to go back on a future vacation when we have more time to stay.

While I did not stay at the Beaumont I did tour the hotel and eat at the Tundra Restaurant. I had a wonderful experience with a superb wine and a wonderful desert. Everything was top quality.
While the dining room was not very busy, I can highly recomend the food and service over the highly touted, packed and noisy Bon Ton Restaurant near by. The Beaumont restoration has been superbly done and the whole experience recalled the grand hotels of the past.

What a disappointment; the rooms were fine, but the restaraunt, The Tundra, was a disaster. Service was non-existent.

Five hours before the restaurant opened we inquired in person if we would need a reservation for our party of seven. We were told, "No, the restaurant was wide open."

We arrived a few minutes after the restaraunt opened. The staff were in the bar, drinking and eating dinner. We were told there was no availability that evening. (There was not another soul in the restaraunt.) We explained what were were told earlier in the afternoon, and that we did not have reservations elsewhere.

The staff said, "We don't know what to tell you. The hotel's front desk often doesn't know what it is doing."

When we later reported this to the front desk, we learned that the restaurant is "poorly managed." We couldn't agree more, and we will stay in Telluride in the future--Jim in Sedona
