"I wanted to express my appreciation to you and your entire staff for the outstanding service and warm hospitality that you provided my entire family during our Christmas vacation in Telluride. From the preparations prior to our arrival and the follow through after our departure was the best I have ever experienced. However, the best part of our vacation was the warm friendly smiles and commitment of service that everybody exhibited, and the warm family atmosphere of your wonderful "small" hotel."

Congratulations to you and your entire staff.
David P Bossy


"Thank you for making our weekend in Telluride so enjoyable. Your Hotel was very pleasant as well as beautiful and your entire staff was very friendly. I know our dog Crockett had a wonderful time as well. It was nice to find a place that takes dogs."

Tom, Jodi, Chloi and Crockett

"Congratulations on a superb hotel. The Hotel Columbia offers everything we desire in a hotel - oversized, well-appointed rooms and accompanying baths, personal and professional service, intimate bar and restaurant, great location and ambiance. The only disappointment of our stay was the fact that we had to leave."

"We wanted to send along this note to thank you personally for the two nights that we spent at your fine property this March. We were told by an associate who lives in Telluride, that the Hotel Columbia is the most wonderful place in town and we wholeheartedly concur. Your place is first class from the décor to your friendly well-educated staff. We felt special and very much appreciated during our entire stay."

"The reason for this letter is to let you all know that I found the Hotel Columbia to be one of the best "lodging experiences" I have had to date. My position requires that I travel about 30 weeks a year. After all this travel I can confidently say that the Hotel Columbia was among one of the best hotels at which I have stayed. Again, thanks for an exceptional travel experience. Please feel free to use my letter in any way you see appropriate to share the good word about your fine hotel.. "

"I just wanted to tell you that the Hotel Columbia ranks as the nicest place my wife and I have ever stayed. It wasn't the biggest and it wasn't the most expensive, it was just the best. The reason has got to be the staff. We felt like we were at our own home being pampered. Add to that the exquisite food at the Cosmopolitan and there was almost no reason to leave the hotel to go skiing."

Bard Rockenbach

"Thank you so much for the lovely stay at the Hotel Columbia. Your hotel is gorgeous and everyone there is so nice and professional. You are by far the most lovely hotel in Telluride."

Camile Mitchell

"To the Staff at the Hotel Columbia, I had to let you know what an incredible place the Hotel Columbia is. It was like "coming home." Everything was perfect. Your facilities were absolutely wonderful. Thank you again for making our vacation so special."

The Kwiat Family

"Dear Hotel Staff, I just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed my stay at your hotel. I met many friendly dogs. Mom and Dad enjoyed their stay too. It was very nice of you to give my Mom that box of tasty biscuits for me to enjoy. Thanks again for your hospitality."

Montana Clem "the dog"

"Dear Hotel Columbia, My sister and I felt like queens in your beautiful hotel and were treated that way by the entire staff. Thanks again, I can't wait to come back."

"After our wonderful stay in Telluride last week, we wanted to write and express our sincere thanks for creating such a comfortable and "service oriented" hotel. Not only was Hotel Columbia a truly elegant place to rest our weary hiking feet, it was "home." The extremely spacious and comfortable room provided a relaxing place for both of us and our Golden Retriever Callie. Congratulations to you and your staff. It is an establishment that you all should be very proud of."

Melissa & Jim Niemeyer and Callie

"I wanted to thank you for the lovely stay at the Hotel Columbia. No wonder all the guests of the Telluride Film Festival love to stay with you! Not only is the hotel beautifully designed and elegantly and tastefully furnished, but also your employees are kind, friendly and very helpful. We felt welcome and completely at home. It was a treat to stay at your wonderful hotel."

Stella Pence
Managing Director
Telluride Film Festival

"The lovely room and its beautiful view were only surpassed by the exquisite care and attention of the staff."

Brad Seawell

"Sure enjoyed our stay last week. Your staff had a service ethic that few establishments can claim. The rooms, public areas and restaurant were just superb. Thanks for a great place to stay on our vacation."

John Tuitele "This is exactly the hotel you want when visiting Telluride - small, with luxury accommodations such as oversized showers and cozy down comforters, nestled right in town across the street from the Station Telluride Gondola. A warm staff creates an inviting atmosphere and the Cosmopolitan serves up gourmet meals that keep you on the hotel's premises all night. But being mere blocks from Telluride's restaurants, bars and shops and right across the street from the River Trail you will want to get out and explore the town as well. "
