If you’re looking for a stay in the ultimate luxury, then we highly recommend the Mountain Lodge. This ski-in, ski-out lodge is engulfed in panoramic views of the San Juan Mountains, and features a stone fireplace (one of only two in Telluride), onsite family dining, and an outdoor heated pool (open year-round).

Rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated, the onsite restaurant is delicious, and the free shuttle ensures guests see as much as they possibly can during their visit to Telluride- though you can easily walk to everything — another perk for families.

Keep an eye out for the resident cat, Mario. He’s often spotted meandering around the property.

Fun Fact: Each of the 98 rooms is named after a historic mine in the area.
