A breakfast buffet is served here seasonally from 7 to 10 a.m. (for a fee), and includes scrambled eggs, pancakes, breakfast potatoes, and fresh fruit. Dinner is served daily from 5 to 10 p.m., and includes favorites such as meat and cheese plates, pizzas, sandwiches, and seafood.

The "Li'L Miners" menu features chicken tenders, cheeseburger sliders, and mac and cheese. Hopefully Larry is working when you visit -- he gave us some good insight into Telluride!

The Art of Smart Timing
Telluride is a year-round destination, and so is this hotel. The fall foliage is really something to see, the winter is top-notch for a wide variety of outdoor activities, the spring brings fresh floral smells and even fresher mountain air, and the summer gets its groove on with a number of outdoor music festivals, mountain biking, and hiking. Accommodation prices tend to decrease during this time, as well.

Getting There
Montrose Regional Airport is an hour and a half away. We recommend jumping onboard the Telluride Express, located right at the front of the airport. The Hotel Telluride can be found right off Colorado Ave. as soon as you arrive in town.

Getting Around
The town of Telluride is completely walkable, though a complimentary shuttle is available through the hotel to take you to the base of the gondola.

For Mom and Dad
Spa
Parents are sure to enjoy a spa treatment at The Hotel Telluride after their busy, adventure-filled day. The spa is home to two treatment rooms, a steam shower, a fitness room, and two outdoor hot tubs. Treatments include massages, facials, eyebrow tinting, and waxing.
