Locally owned and operated the Hotel Columbia offers a European style of warmth and intimacy not found in larger properties. Conveniently located in the town of Telluride and at the base of Station Telluride Gondola, the hotel affords easy access to town and the mountains in the summer or winter. Coupled with the San Miguel River outside the front door, the hotel setting is unique and unrivaled. The top floor has a hot tub perched on a deck with spectacular views of the glacial valley, river, mountains and waterfalls. A Guest Business Office offers 24/7 free high speed internet access. For winter guests the hotel has ski lockers and boot dryers. The Cosmopolitan Restaurant & Bar is on site and offers award winning meals. Fresh pastries and bread are provided by the Cosmo for a continental breakfast which is all included in the room price. The restaurant exudes a cheerful glow in the morning sun with the mountains and river a stones throw away. Dogs are welcome and the Telluride River Park Trail assures an easy stroll along the river just steps away from the hotel. Return guests make up over 40% of the bookings. Come sleep with us ?
