Recommended Trip type: Family "Great historic hotel"

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Sep 20, 2009

Recently renovated rooms, while a little small are more than adequate for two people and are very well done and the attention to detail is outstanding. The remodeled bathrooms even have heated floors. Note that the hotel does provide parking but it is on the local streets through the use of a parking permit. During off-season I had no problem parking. Great restaurant and bars.

Reviewed by Sarah of Boulder on Sep 16, 2009

Hotel has been beautifully retored, rooms are superbly decorated with high-end linens, fixtures and furniture. Hotel also has two bar areas - once inside the main lobby and one right next door as wells as a chop house restaurant with outside and inside seating. Only problem was with the Room with a View. On a summer night after the bars let out and the streets filled with people who tend to be loud and smokers. Since the hotel doesn't have A/C in the room, we left the window open and were awoken to a smokey room and loud people outside. We shut the window, but we could still hear everyone in the streets. I would stay here again, but will request a non-view room, something a little more quieter.

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jun 29, 2009

The New Sheridan Hotel in Telluride was wonderful. All of the rooms have recently been renovated and all now have private baths. The decor was gorgeous, the service impeccable. And all for a price comparable to the chain hotels. There is no question, if we go to Telluride again, we will stay at the New Sheridan. I highly recommend it.

Reviewed by Christine of Albuquerque on Apr 14, 2009

This hotel has everything you would need and more. The location was central, the staff was very friendly and the rooms, albeit on the smaller side, were designed for maximum use of space(plenty for two people). I mean ,come on heated bathroom floors!!!!! awesome. We ate twice in the hotel restaurant and the food and service were outstanding! We would definitely go back and highly recommend it. The only issue would be: ask for a room away from the stairs as you could hear the noise from the bar area slightly where we were located.

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 21, 2008

The New Sheridan was so much fun!! We booked through hotels.com and, unfortunately, the dates got mixed up. The guy at the front desk fixed our situation immediately (even though it was 11pm at night). We were supposed to have a room w/ a shared bathroom, and ended up with a private bath for the same rate. We both went into the shared bath a few times, and decided that even if we had our original room, the stay would have been just as fantastic. The bar downstairs was so much fun, and the noise was not nearly the problem that others have reported (and we were there during the comedy fest). Definitely check out the hot-tubs on the roof and the fresh baked cookies at the front desk! The ski lockers and location of the hotel made getting to lift 8 or the gondola a two minute trip. Definitely highly recommended!

Recommended Trip type: Romance "A truly beautiful hotel experience"

Reviewed by Lauren of Texas on Jul 18, 2007

My significant other and I stayed at the New Sheridan during a weekend vacation in Telluride and, I have to say, this hotel really exceeded our expectations. The room was beautiful, the bed incredibly comfortable, and the service top notch (especially that hot breakfast - yum!). Sitting right on Telluride's main street, the New Sheridan put right in the middle of everything - restaurants, shopping, outdoor activities. This sense of being in the center of it all - yet still having a great deal of comfort and privacy - really contributed to our overall experience in Telluride. Overall, I have no complaints about my stay at the New Sheridan - this hotel really made our trip, and we will definitely know where to stay next time we are in Telluride (which will hopefully be soon!).
