“Perfect Honeymoon Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 9, 2013

From the moment we checked in we had wonderful service. Everything went so smoothly. We entered our room to find a bottle of wine with a congratulatory note, the hot tub already heated up, and robes ready to go. We loved the little touches: the heated towel rack, the fireplace, the stocked fridge (with inexpensive pricing), and the extremely comfortable bedding. The location was ideal for our trip: you could literally throw a rock and hit the free gondola that takes you to mountain village (where all the ski lifts are). We were within a two minute walk from all the great restaurants in town, and a little market for snacks. The restaurant downstairs, the Cosmopolitan, is incredible. The free breakfast could not have been any better, steak and cheese, smoked salmon, bagels, different pastries every morning, quiches, cereal ,hot coffee etc. The service was amazing and we will absolutely stay there again.

Room Tip: Get the hot tub room- so worth it!!

“Love the Hotel Columbia”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 3, 2013

Just stayed at this hotel for the second time, and both times have been wonderful. The staff is awesome and very accommodating. The location is amazing. Rooms are beautiful as well as the views! My favorite hotel in Telluride. Also the restaurant downstairs is delicious and a fun scene at night. Highly recommend!

“Quaint and Amazing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

Nestled next to the gondola in the town of Telluride, I was amazed actually with the price. Jan is prime season and we paid only $185 per night for a prime location. Each room has a fireplace and kitchenette. Mine had a claw tub which I am about to use in about 15 min. Im typing this on my couch lookin out of my bay window and watching skiers glide down the slope. I am eagerly waiting for my boyfriend who is flying in to Grand Junction and making the 2 hour or so drive here. A wonderful quaint breakfast is also included in the Cosmopolitan Restaurant and also there is a half price happy hour from 5 - 6pm. I would absolutely stay here again!!! The girls who work here also live on the premises!!

Room Tip: Try to face the slopes!

“Couldn't ask for anything more!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013 via mobile

Just got back from an amazing stay at Hotel Colombia. Check-in was easy. The staff was friendly. We stayed in room 30. Awesome room. It had a kitchenette complete with full size refrigerator/freezer. The bathroom had heated floors and a heated towel rack, enormous shower and a claw foot soaking tub. The bed was very comfy and it had a nice living room area. The view from the room was nice. Great location, 15 steps from the Gondola.

“Hotel Columbia”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013

My stay at the Hotel Columbia during the holidays was simply wonderful! The staff could not have been more welcoming in making us feel like part of their family. The restaurant and wine list was superior and the service first rate. The Christmas gift left in our room was particularly a nice touch. All in all, it was an excellent experience!
