my daughter and I did a quick weekend trip to Telluride for a wedding planning weekend in initiated our stay at a different local hotel and were less than satisfied so we decided to move our reservation to the Madeline. This was the best decision we made for the whole weekend! Not only is it right in the heart of Mountain Village, so it is very accessible to ski lifts and the gondola taking you into the town of Telluride, but the hotel itself Was beautifully well appointed, comfortable, and the amenities were what really made our stay very special.
