Scout tips

SCOUT REVIEW
Lumière Hotel Telluride (often styled as Lumière with Inspirato) is a boutique mountain retreat that combines upscale comfort with genuine Colorado charm. Tucked right in Mountain Village, this elegant hideaway offers effortless ski access—step out the door and glide straight to the base of Lift 4, one of the main arteries into Telluride’s incredible terrain.
The vibe at Lumière is intimate and polished rather than flashy. With just a handful of rooms and residences, the service feels highly personal—staff greet you by name, remember your morning coffee order, and are quick to organize ski rentals, lift tickets, or grocery deliveries.
The accommodations are a standout. One- to five-bedroom residences feature fully equipped chef’s kitchens, high-end appliances, and gas fireplaces that make evenings cozy after a day on the slopes. Expect marble bathrooms, plush robes, and private balconies overlooking either the mountains or the village.
After skiing, guests gravitate to the outdoor hot tub and plunge pools, where you can watch alpenglow settle over the San Juans. The small lobby bar serves local craft beers, fine wines, and light bites—perfect for a relaxed après-ski wind-down. Though Lumière doesn’t have a full-service restaurant, the village’s excellent dining options are just steps away, including top spots for après and fine dining.
Overall, Lumière Hotel Telluride delivers the ideal mix of slope-side ease, residential luxury, and boutique warmth—perfect for travelers who value space, serenity, and five-star touches without the formality of a big resort.
Who should stay here
Couples, families, and small groups seeking a refined ski-in ski-out stay with spacious accommodations, personalized service, and a quiet, upscale vibe.
Scout Customer Reviews
Lumiere is the perfect location. Nothing is more than a few hundred meters from the front door. The ski valet service is fantastic particularly with children. Our room had full kitchen and plenty of room for our family of 5. The staff and service was fantastic and were happy to do anything to make our stay perfect. - Scott, Scout Customer 2017
Location
Lumière Hotel is perfectly positioned in Telluride’s Mountain Village, just steps from the gondola and Lift 4, providing true ski-in ski-out convenience. Guests can easily access Telluride’s historic downtown via the free gondola, while dining, shops, and après spots are within a short walk. The Telluride Airport is about 15 minutes away, and Montrose Airport is roughly 90 minutes by shuttle.

About Telluride
Telluride is a spectacular resort in the heart of Colorado’s San Juan mountains. Getting there is half the fun – the scenic drive from Gunnison or Durango is topped off with an even more picturesque main street. Rarely are ski resorts as pretty as they are challenging, with a nightlife as exciting as it is laid-back, and with accommodation that ranges from ultimate luxury to great budget hotels. Telluride is the complete package and Scout adores it.
