New Sheridan Hotel

This is a lovely, historic hotel in the center of town, and the staff is very helpful. I recommend it highly. My wife and I stayed here for two weeknights in June 2016. We paid over $ 200 for the room the first night, and over $ 300 the second night due to the Bluegrass Festival. It’s expensive but I think it’s worth it. The location is terrific, on the main street (Colorado St.) next to a town park and a landmark courthouse building. The bars and restaurant in the building are beautiful and popular. In all of the common spaces of the hotel, the décor is beautiful — classic, classy and historic. Our room was in the rear of the building, overlooking a back alley and rear yards, so the view was not wonderful. The room itself was great, including a bathroom that had upscale fixtures. The paint scheme and artwork in the room was lovely. I am glad I stayed here and I would choose it again. The hotel staff helped me when I made a special request regarding parking, and I am very grateful. We checked out of the hotel on the first day of the Bluegrass Festival. We wanted to enjoy the festival and drive away, out of town that night. The hotel had given us a parking placard to place on our dashboard while we parked for free a few blocks away in town. Well, on our check-​out day, we asked if we could keep the parking placard all day, and return it tho the hotel that night, allowing us to keep our car parked in town until the festival ended that night. This was a huge convenience for us, meaning we did not have to move the car to an outlying parking lot and use festival buses to get around. Thank you New Sheridan! You made our day a lot better.

LOVED this place.
Awesome vibe inside and the bartender completely killed it… She easily served 50 people in the hour while we were there. I had the Dark and Stormy and was pleased that the size was 2x what I was expecting.

This is the next best place to your buddy having a place in Mountain Village. Literally, my buddy had a place and sold it — unbelievable! Absolutely, perfect location; walk down the hill to the Gondola or Oak Street Lift, several great restaurants within blocks, and the best bar in town in the lobby.
What really makes the place is the staff. Knowledgable, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. They recommended a place to get a new goggle lens, doc for torn knee, and specific libations to drowned our sorrows. The breakfast (20% off for guest) is fabulous.
I would not stay anywhere else in T’ride, highly recommend the New Sheridan.

First off, Telluride Ski Resort is da BOMB and with a variety of hotels to choose from, the New Sheridan Hotel repeatedly tops the list and has always been our absolute fav! Why you ask? It’s truly the «heart» and infamous «postcard picture» of downtown Telluride (courtesy of renowned NY artist, Roger Mason). But beyond the postcards and paintings (which are prominently displayed on the walls of the Parlor) the New Sheridan Hotel has a story to tell. Built in 1985 they say it was the «go-​to place» for miners who struck it rich. It was completely restored and renovated in 2008, but let me tell you… while rooms maintain affordable and competitively priced, it still embodies a certain richness and remains historically intact with vintage pieces, memoirs and artifacts throughout. It has only 26 rooms/​suites that have been beautifully updated with all the appropriate furnishings, décor and detail one would expect in a 5-​Star hotel. If you’re lucky enough to get a room with a front street view… holla! Oh, and be sure to take advantage of their roof top hot tubs… on a clear night let the stargazing begin! Last but certainly NOT LEAST… the New Sheridan staff is absolutely AH-​MAZING! They’re incredibly courteous, friendly, accommodating and always greet you with a warm smile. :-) Many thanks to Ray and his entire team for yet ANOTHER wonderful stay! The New Sheridan Hotel ROCKS!

Amazing hotel! Friendly front desk, clean rooms and bathrooms… close to everything… restaurants, shops and gondola!
The Chop House restaurant on the first floor has the best breakfast in telluride… I recommend the bennies, the monte cristo sandwich or the biscuits and gravy. As well as their coffee… yummmm!
Best part? It’s a hotel with many many years of history… when in Telluride, you must stop here and experience it!

We were glad we had booked this hotel because it made a nice focal point for our short visit. Not only were the accommodations quite nice but they gave us a free parking pass for the nearby parking zone which allowed us to walk all day around town without ever needing to deal with our car until we were ready to leave the next day. We ate, shopped and slept within the historic district.
Everyone at the hotel was ever so nice. Even though the coffee bar was closing for the day by the time we checked in, the manager made my husband a simple drink while he was packing up and it really refreshed his afternoon. It was really nice to do and a good espresso drink too. Our room was on the second floor and nicely decorated, comfy bed and linens, a nice sofa and a truly nice bathroom. We opted for the cheaper choice of no view but next time I think I would take the pricier one just to get a window that opened for a breeze. They have no AC, and usually just a slightly open window will give a very cool room. But it was truly unusually hot for Telluride and our window merely opened to a narrow air shaft between the two buildings so we faced a solid and warm brick wall 3 feet from the window and the room simply did not get as cool as we would have liked overnight.
They had just opened a new rooftop bar which turned out to be a lot of fun. The view was great from there. Just like on an old-​fashioned picture postcard (remember those?) of Telluride. They served bottled beer, wine and mixed drinks and a few small plates. The staff was fun. There is also a full service bar downstairs next to the main lobby as well as a Chop House Restaurant but we did not visit those.

Staff is very friendly, happy to answer questions about stuff to do, and quite welcoming. Really appreciate that kind of attitude :)
Our room (307) is really lovely with a great view of the Main Street and little bar noise.
Shower was great, bed is comfy, we love the humidifier and it’s really helping to make us feel comfortable.
Love the old historical photos everywhere and the rooftop bar is a nice touch.
Suggestions: in room coffee would be preferred so we don’t have to look acceptable to go down to the main lobby (which is a busy restaurant in the morning) to get the complimentary stuff. Also there was no decaf this morning when my husband went down :/​
Internet connection is terrible. I planned on getting some work done in my down time and couldn’t use it much at all. Just a really poor, super slow connection at all times of the day and even late at night. I stuck with my phone’s service. Really a bummer considering I never have this problem at hotels or even cheaper motels.
Some more vegetarian and vegan options at the hotel restaurant would be great — there wasn’t much I could eat there so we went elsewhere for our meals.

My husband and I just stayed at The New Sheridan for the last two days of our honeymoon and my normally critical partner kept saying things like «I really like this hotel,» out of the blue. «Really like» is his 5-​star review. He especially appreciated the restoration of the hotel — how it felt old but updated at the same time. I appreciated the central location, the 20% discount off food at the Chop House, and the fact that they let us do a load of laundry in their washer and dryer so we could have fresh clothes when we got home. Plus, they provide a humidifier and a white noise machine in every room. In the high altitude the humidifier was incredibly helpful. We were debating between Lumiere and New Sheridan and I am SO glad we went with the New Sheridan!

You want to be in the middle of a picturesque, snow glove scene where everything is just a short walk away? You want to be treated by the best and most knowledgeable staff in Telluride? You want to dine next door in the best restaurant in the canyon? You want to be at the apex of nightlife in a ski town in winter, in a music and art mecca in off season?
Stay here.

You expect a little better amenities and accommodations, but it was still adequate and a good place to stay… close to a lot of fun places and… it’s Telluride!

This place is a wonder! It really is the kind of place one should seek out.
We pulled into Telluride, parked, walked down main street and sat down for a fantastic brunch!
Sitting on the Parisian style Bistro patio the hubby had braised short rib Benedict, kids had thick cut bacon & eggs, and I sampled a pistachio crusted trout salad with poached egg. All while soaking up the sun and staring at the ski hill.
Our server was awesome. He had both casual stoner and attentive fine dining working harmoniously!
Highly recommended! Next time, we’ll spend the night in the historic hotel.

Yes!!! They nailed it! Love coming across special places that just get it :)
Karl at the front desk is stellar and the suite he recommended, with caution of course due to the wedding weekend festivities below, worked out great with a sound machine included. Fly fishing tips and great info on the historic hotel.
This hotel had it all: well designed (I design hotels and wouldn’t change a thing), staff staff and staff ALL smiles and willing to assist, location is perfect, rooftop hot tub under utilized and was very much enjoyed with crazy great views!
The restaurant felt like home for breakfast and even dinner was incredible though I don’t usually like to eat at the same place twice, this was a no brainer!
Tall ceilings, gorgeous furniture, beaded board and subway tile details, 3 bar areas! Cozy, elegance that extended our stay from 1 night to 3!
Will be back Sheridan and fam!

We stayed here for the past 3 nights and I just love this hotel! This is a Telluride landmark! I love the décor in the room as well as all throughout the hotel! I love the photographs capturing the the hotel back in the day. We stayed on the 3^rd floor, overlooking the main street. The fact that it had a king bed in one room and a couch with pull out bed in the other, made it perfect our two small boys. Every detail in the room was so tastefully done and bed was so comfy!
Sure, things did get a little loud last night from bar below us (a Wednesday night), but to be expected for such a hot spot! Believe me, pre — kiddos, we would be down there with the rest of em. Hotel did supply white noise machine and ear plugs for such an event and we did have to break them out. Monday and Tuesday nights were not loud. But I’m sure as the week progresses things will be even more wild.
Just maybe think about that when booking room, may want a room toward back of hotel if you’re an early to turn-​in type of person. Staff at the hotel all very nice:) I’ve read some people say hotel is haunted, I never had any incidents or felt strange during our stay. If there are ‘ghosts’ I would say they are friendly and welcoming, this place has positive energy:)

What a fantastic experience I received here. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Room was perfect spot to relax after a day on the hills and in the bars. Mike at the front desk is the man and has the whole town wired for any tastes! Be sure to have dinner in the chop house at least one night.

Booked a room with a view and get a room over a bar with a band. Nice place if it didn’t have the bar.
Make sure to ask where your room is. Beautiful hotel otherwise.

I loved this place. Historic. Practical updates. Spacious rooms. Late night hot tubs on the roof. Brilliant experience all around. And reasonably priced.

I have mixed feelings about this place. The staff was so strange, they just didn’t seem welcoming. They never did anything outright rude, but they just seemed standoffish and like they really didn’t think we should be there. Definitely hard to describe. I’m guessing they thought we were really young or something. Or perhaps it is just the way they treat everyone .
However aside from the staff I loved this place. It’s been re done so beautifully. You can tell they put so much thought into decorating the rooms. Everything down to the drapes looked great. The room was also very large which was nice.
The hotel is a very quick walk to the gondola and they provided you with a ski locker and boot drying racks so to never had to drag your skis upstairs.
It’s also right on the main street, you can walk pretty much anywhere in telluride. This does mean however that it can be noisy at night. The entrance to the Sheridan Opera House was right by our window and on two different nights the people attending the shows hung out drinking and talking under our window. I did discover ear plugs in the night stand drawer the last night we were there.
We totally loved the roof top hot tubs. I discovered this week that you can sit in the hot tub forever when it’s 15 degrees outside.
I’d probably stay there again, I’m just hoping the staff was having an off week.

I stayed here last week with my boyfriend and loved the whole experience. We called ahead of time to request a corner room because a friend of ours said the corner room offers the best view. The Conceirge confirmed that we would be staying in a corner room. When we arrived we were not in a corner room. We called downstairs and they were quick to help us. We were upgraded to a King Suite with a view of the main street and mountains for our entire stay at no extra cost! Talk about customer service!!!
The hotel was recently remodeled and I fell in love with all the décor. It’s so nice and cozy.
The location is perfect!!! I loved spending the evening in the town and taking the gondola to Mountain Village for skiing and other activities during the day.
Complementary shuttle to/​from airport.
Nice and quiet bar downstairs. Amazing restaurant (Chop House) and the bar next door is neat.
Only negatives is its not pet friendly and no room service or spa.
Other than that it’s the perfect hotel!!! A++

My girlfriend and I stayed here during the 2011 Telluride Wine festival and I was thoroughly impressed with how willing all of the staff were to go out of there way to take care of us.
The hotel is beautiful and fit’s in with (if not helps partly create) the character of the town. Lots of history, elegant but not «opulent» or over the top.
The rooms are quaint but I’d recommend avoiding rooms on the front of the hotel overlooking the street. It can get rather noisy outside late at night (particularly notable on weekends or during big events) and the noise really carys. Fortunately, there were other rooms available during our stay. They courteously moved us to another room on the night we couldn’t sleep then moved our things the next day with out hesitation.
The rooms are comfortable, the staff friendly and helpful… I couldn’t really have asked for more.

The strange thing about this hotel is it looks very different on the outside than the rooms do. It’s a very «historic» lobby… cool, but you can tell it’s old. The rooms have been updated (very nicely) to add conveniences like heated bathroom floors and nice accents.
You’ll still notice some of the hotel’s age: no A/​C, leaky windows, noisy hallways. In the winter, there’s not much late-​night street noise, so it didn’t bother us. We only woke up once to shoveling at 6 am. But I could see why people wouldn’t want to stay there in the summer, when you have to hear the bars close and people out late.
But it’s a great location to be central and explore Telluride, and I’d recommend it for at least a night… but get a room with a street view!
