Overview
The Madeline Hotel & Residences, part of the Auberge Collection, is a 5-star ski-in/ski-out resort hotel set directly next to the slopes and lifts of Telluride Ski Resort in Mountain Village, Colorado. With a public rating of 4.5 from 510 reviews, it's positioned as one of Telluride's most upscale mountain properties, roughly 8 miles from the town's Sheridan Opera House. The setting blends alpine luxury with a rustic-chic aesthetic across its guest rooms, suites and residence-style apartments.
Rooms & Residences
Guest rooms are posh and slope-facing, equipped with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, coffeemakers and soaking tubs, with some rooms offering private balconies. Suites step up the experience with separate living rooms, sofabeds and fireplaces, while multi-room apartments add full kitchens, making them well suited to longer or self-catering stays. Room service is available across all room types.
Dining
On-site dining includes two rustic-chic restaurants along with a cafe and a candy shop, giving guests several options without leaving the property. Guest feedback consistently praises the friendliness of the waitstaff, though some note the food is solid rather than exceptional and priced at a premium.
Amenities & Recreation
The hotel features a chic spa, an outdoor pool with two hot tubs, and a patio lounge area with fire pits for apres-ski relaxation. Additional services include a ski valet, exercise classes and pet services, reinforcing its focus on a full-service mountain resort experience. Note that resort fees apply on top of room rates.
Location & Surroundings
Perched just 167 meters from Telluride Ski Resort's lifts and runs, the hotel is a true ski-in/ski-out base. Nearby attractions include Bridal Veil Falls, Telluride Town Park, Bear Creek Trail and the Telluride Historical Museum, while more distant excursions such as Mount Sneffels, Imogene Pass, Black Bear Road, Ice Lake Basin and Ouray Hot Springs offer options for hikers, off-roaders and hot-springs seekers venturing beyond town.
Best for
This hotel best suits skiers and snowboarders seeking true ski-in/ski-out convenience, given its 167-meter proximity to Telluride Ski Resort's lifts, as well as luxury travelers drawn to the spa, outdoor pool with hot tubs, and multiple dining venues. It also appeals to groups or longer-stay guests who benefit from the kitchen-equipped apartments and multi-room suites with fireplaces.
Travel tips
Because the hotel sits right at the base of Telluride Ski Resort, guests can walk directly to the lifts without needing a shuttle during ski season. For summer visits, popular nearby hikes like Bear Creek Trail and Bridal Veil Falls are within a few kilometers, while more remote destinations such as Ice Lake Basin, Mount Sneffels and Ouray Hot Springs require a car for the drive of 10+ kilometers. Budget extra for resort fees and note that on-site dining, while well-reviewed for service, runs on the expensive side.
What guests say
Guests repeatedly highlight the excellent rooms, prime location, attentive staff and friendly restaurant waitstaff as standout strengths of this hotel. The in-room kitchens in apartment-style units are specifically praised for their convenience for full meal preparation. On the downside, some reviewers feel the on-site dining, while pleasant, is unremarkable in quality and comes at a relatively high price point.
