3 reviews for Columbia Hotel
Following Luca's recommendation, we stayed here and couldn't have been happier. Since his review, the entire hotel was remodeled and very tastefully so. Travertine/limestone bathrooms with a spa shower, flat screen TV's kitchenette in our room and while we didn't have a fire place, we did have a gorgeous view of the gondola and the babbling brook that runs right underneath the lift. Not to mention, room service from the restaurant downstairs, and the best room service either one of us has had.
Good amenities, continental breakfast included, ideal location, great personal service, and affordable($10/day) easy parking.
I would have preferred to have had a full breakfast, lunch service, and happy hour. But nothing we couldn't live without.
All in all a very memorable stay. I suggest that you book on their website for a 10% discount, and request a view of the gondola. Slight gondola noise early morning, but well worth it for the view.

First of all, I might have been high on pure euphoria when I found out that we could cancel our reservation at the Peaks, and stay at the Columbia, so my review might be a little jaded. Columbia seemed like the Peninsula compared to the Motel 6 impersonator we had just stayed at in the mountain village.
This place is adorable! The staff upgraded us to a 1 bedroom suite upon arrival just because it wasn't booked up for the night. Huh? Wow, that was a nice way to hearts. Overall cute, relaxing decor. I really loved the cottage-y feel of the room and the bed was very comfortable.
Cosmopolitan, the restaurant downstairs is still one of my favorite places in Telluride... and the morning "continental" breakfast spread of quiches, beignets, fresh tropical fruits and freshly baked breads did the trick to keep us full all day.
This little hotel was just so accommodating and relaxing that I put myself on the wait list for the Brew and Blues Festival in Sept... Can't wait to go back!
You arrive in town a couple of weeks before Christmas, 8 pm on a weekday, without a reservation, you want a nice comfortable stylish room, close to the gondola, hopefully without spending a fortune: what do you do? You go to the (supposedly) best hotel in town, the one on Main Street? Tooooooo obvious! And wrong, by the way.
What you wanna do is, you trust your wife, who's done her homework, and give a chance to the Columbia Hotel. It turns out to have the best rooms in town (compared to the older, tired looking rooms of similar establishments), and prices more or less in line with key competitors. And it's literally half a block from the Gondola.
The room: nice view, quite spacious, nice king bed, nice bathroom with sauna, and even a gas fireplace. Which actually looks pretty cheesy, to tell the truth, unless of course you're British, in which case it must look incredibly sexy and cool, compared to the electric ones they're used to.
The amenities: quite remarcable, including an intermittently working wi-fi connection (how disappointing) a VHS player (for antiques lovers, I suppose), a roof jacuzzi with breathtaking view (and a breathtaking cold in the few seconds it takes to enter the tub), complimentary breakfast with excellent pastries.
Overall: a memorable, classy place to stay in an unforgettable town.
