SCOUT REVIEW
The New Sheridan Hotel is a Telluride landmark, perfectly capturing the soul of this historic mining town turned world-class ski resort. Dating back to 1895, the hotel combines rich heritage with updated amenities, making it one of the most charming and convenient places to stay in Telluride. From the moment you step into the grand old lobby—with its original woodwork, vintage photos, and cozy Western ambiance—you’ll feel part of Telluride’s story.
Rooms at the New Sheridan Hotel balance classic character with modern comfort. Expect crisp linens, period details, and mountain views, with some suites offering sitting areas for extra space. While the building’s historic nature means no elevator, staff are more than happy to assist with luggage.
After a day on the slopes, unwind in the hotel’s beloved New Sheridan Bar—one of Telluride’s oldest watering holes and still the go-to spot for locals and visitors alike. For dinner, the New Sheridan Chop House offers refined mountain dining with an excellent wine list and hearty après-ski fare.
Skiers will love the convenience: the free gondola is just a short walk away, whisking you directly to the slopes of Telluride Ski Resort. The hotel’s downtown position means you’re also close to boutique shops, cafés, and the lively nightlife scene that makes Telluride so unique.
Who should stay here
Perfect for couples, solo travelers, or ski enthusiasts who appreciate history, atmosphere, and being in the middle of it all.

Getting there is half the fun – the scenic drive from Gunnison or Durango is topped off with an even more picturesque main street.

Telluride is the complete package and Scout adores it.
