New Sheridan Hotel

About
Unlike most Telluride hotels, the New Sheridan is a historic landmark that also functions as the town's social hub. Built in 1891 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, its 26 rooms were remodeled in 2008 by British designer Nina Campbell, blending Victorian character with modern comfort. The rooftop bar offers a 360-degree mountain view, and two hot tubs overlook the peaks. Owner Ray has run the hotel for 16 years, earning it a AAA Four Diamond rating and #1 in Service from Condé Nast Traveler.
The hotel sits just two blocks from the gondola and ski lifts. Its ground floor houses the Chop House Restaurant, the historic New Sheridan Bar with pool tables, and the Parlor café and wine bar. Free WiFi is included. The crowd skews toward couples and solo travelers who want a central base with character, not a generic resort. If you're considering other historic options nearby, the Camel's Garden Hotel is also popular, but the New Sheridan's rooftop bar gives it an edge for après-ski views.
