Not only was the hotel perfectly located in town but also next to the Gondola, which provides easy access to the Mountain Village. The spacious rooms were very clean, well decorated with a modern flair with venetian plaster walls. The bathrooms had stone tile floors & walls with large tubs for two & great powerful shower heads. The mattresses in the rooms were a little firm and the sheets needed to be upgraded. The Hotel staff was very personable. All in all, the photos on the website didn't do it justice. It was much better in person.

We went in late August (just before the film festival) and paid $225 for one-room suite with kitchenette, large soaking tub, high (too high) king sized bed, high-speed Internet access (not wireless; be sure to bring Ethernet cord), and Aveda bathroom amenities. Very clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated. There was also had a small a gas-burning fireplace, which we didn’t use because it was summer. A continental breakfast was provided, including cold cereals, muffins, and pastries but selection was very limited. Bagels were cold and stale (yesterday’s?), but there were bowls of red and green apples scattered around the public spaces of the hotel all day long for the taking. Very conveniently located right next to the gondolas to the Mountain Village and a bike shop where we rented mountain bikes. Staff (breakfast and housekeeping) was not as friendly as you'd expect from a boutique hotel.

This is a very nice property. I have stayed at their sister property The Ice House. This is much nicer. Good view of the mountain and nice to hear the stream out back.

Way and by far the best hotel in Telluride. Beautiful rooms, with fireplaces, and huge Italian marble bathrooms. Located adjacent to the lift and Gondola. On the river, two blocks from downtown with the best restaurants all within one block. Great!
