The vibe of the rooftop bar is unmatched. We had an amazing dinner. The burger is highly recommend. Our wonderful server Mackenzie was a delight to have. From the moment we sat down, she was attentive and genuinely kind. Oh and she makes a bomb aperol spritz! Cheers

My review is specifically about Sharron. We went here more than once during our trip and our first time at night was than less to be desired… so much so that when we went 2 days later for breakfast we were unsure. Our expectations where beyond met at breakfast. Our food was amazing and our server Sharron was fantastic… the highlight really as she was so kind and attentive. She, unknowingly, made up for our precious experiences there. She claims to be morning person and it showed because she was kind upon arrival and whitty throughout brunch. Shout out to Sharron.

Super cool place. Pricey as hell but it’s cool. Pricey as hell. Like I said it’s really cool. Pool tables, low light. Good drinks, and also pricey as hell. The service had friendly bartendys. Did I mention it was pricey as hell? Tip good

We had an amazing meal at The New Sheridan! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was beautifully prepared — flavorful, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with care. The atmosphere captured that classic Telluride charm, blending historic elegance with a warm, welcoming feel. What really stood out was the customer service — absolutely top-notch. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel valued. It’s rare to find a place where the service and cuisine are both this impressive. Highly recommend dining here if you’re in Telluride — it’s truly a five-star experience!

Rooftop Charlie bartender was so awesome! She was so knowledgeable about the history of the town and also made the perfect martini so what more can you ask for. Charcuterie board here was very worth it

This is an amazing historic hotel that is rich with character, full of wonderful ambiance, centrally located, with delicious food. If I travel to Telluride again, this is where I will stay and dine. The rooms are rich with character, though the entire property is as well. The property is very well maintained. The rooms are spotlessly clean. This has been such an enjoyable stay. They also have the most amazing coffee.

The service was like something I've never experienced. The care they took. They missed a star for the rooms because the water took awhile to warm up. Telluride is a great place to stay and this hotel is walking distance to the free gondola. We had a great experience and I will be staying here again.

The rooms are classic Mountain Village style. Location could not be better. The steakhouse downstairs had amazing service and was one of the best steaks I have had in my life!
