This place was incredible! The staff the accommodations everything was above and beyond what we excepted. We arrived and we're upgraded to penthouse and it was perfect for the six of us. Four adults and two children . There was a basket with local ground coffee and breakfast so we would not have to leave if we wanted to have something first thing in the morning. We had scheduled in room massages in am which they had setup and they were one of the best we all have had and agreed on that and they setup a trip to bridal falls for us in afternoon. I would stay and recommend Lumiere to anyone go to Telluride! read more

Lumiere is the only place we will stay in Telluride. We have stayed at the other resorts in Mountain Village and they are good in the summer but a hike with ski boots on in the winter. They also lack the personal attention we get at Lumiere. The location is perfect, one of the only truly ski-in ski-out condos in Mountain Village. The staff is lovely, the included breakfast is outstanding. The Dutton granola is addictive. I highly recommend. read more

Candidly, I rarely EVER give anything a 5-Star, as often Yelp reviews aren't always helpful, but this hotel deserves every one of those 5 stars... why? Service!!!! Top notch on every level! This was my first time in Telluride and it won't be the last and i this will be my go to place! They were kind, attentive (but not annoying) and knew solid recommendations. It was my birthday and the concierge found out where we were having dinner and called ahead to let them know... they gave us a wonderful surprise dessert and a glass of bubbly MUCH to our surprise. Overall, I'd recommend this for couples or families, but definitely has the ability to provide a romantic getaway like we had this weekend. Annnnd, super close to the gondola to take you to downtown Telluride! read more

Lumiere Hotel, why can't all hotels be like you? I can best describe this place in 3 words: Service Service Service! As a previous hotel concierge myself working for the Park Hyatt in my youth, I know when staff are properly trained and this hotel has definitely got that right. From the moment we checked in and greeted warmly by Victor and again by Jack who took our bags to the room and showed us around to our fantastically clean clean accommodations, this place has got their act together! Kudos by the way to the housekeeping staff who not only clean the place immaculately but also pay attention to every detail. I mean they even neatly wrap up the iPhone cable when not in use and neatly display your toiletries!. Turn down service another great job! Did I mention housekeeping was great? Breakfast was fantastic every morning with a different free hot entree you can order along with the abundant spread of other breakfast items such as bagels, granola, cereals, yogurt, fruits, etc. just a great selection! Black tie ski valet who are housed inside the hotel was another added benefit. Great personnel there who were super helpful. To the new owners: kudos to you for gathering such a great group of staff who really know service, even better than, and I'll say it, better than any Four Seasons staff! read more

Stayed at the Lumiere for our wedding this past week and it was the best hotel experience we've ever had. The service and the room we were in felt like the Broadmoor hotel but in the mountains. The hotel is very clean, the service is friendly and attentive and the views are to die for. We're looking forward to coming back for our anniversaries over the years. read more

Booked hotel and had to cancel due to pandemic. Governor shuts down all ski areas in Colorado but this hotel will not refund our payment nor provide the ability to use within 12 months. Do not use this hotel as they do not care about this country, the spread of the pandemic, nor their customers read more

My husband and I stayed here the day before, of, after our wedding. The room and property was gorgeous, they upgraded our room and gave us lots of perks to help us celebrate the day. read more

This place is amazing. This is probably the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in. The rooms were immaculate. The service was unmatched! Will definitely be back! read more

Fantastic boutique hotel in mountain village. Extremely convenient location and a two minute walk to the gondola that takes you into Telluride. Highly recommend this place read more

It's truly the best of the very best! If there was such a thing as perfection-- Lumiere Telluride and the brilliant staff would earn the title of the Perfect Stay! I've been visiting Telluride since the 90's and made a trip this June with my wife (who had never been to Telluride), our newborn son and two small dogs. From the first moment arriving we were treated with incredible warmth, kindness, and the best attention to detail. After a simple and personalized check-in we were shown to a lovely room with the most incredible view of the Mountains... What's most important to note is that the management is run by the most lovely husband and wife team-- Clare & Bas. They were incredible hosts, who treated us not like guests-- but as friends and family. The amount of care and thoughtfulness each day we received as guests was just incredible. This property sits on the slope in Mountain Village and a short walk to the gondola. The location is incredibly ideal for both winter and summer visits. We were given a delightful and delish daily breakfast that couldn't have been any better. Service was on point with the nicest people. We enjoyed happy hour and apps once, but choose to enjoy the town and restaurants for our dinners. The menu for dinner at the restaurant did look very enticing. I can't say enough nice and complimentary things about the hotel, the staff, and the wonderful service we received as truly cared for guests. We actually extended our stay by 3 additional days and truly didn't ever want to leave! The hotel is unique in being a residential condo property and the units are offered as hotel rooms throughout the year. So the rooms are literally someone's home that we get to enjoy and experience the lavish benefits of life in Telluride. We stayed in a standard king size room with a heavenly bathroom set up, yet the hotel offers 1 and 2 bedroom residences with full kitchens. There are also 2 penthouse units that are out of this world 4/5 bedroom palaces. If you're considering a trip to Telluride and have the opportunity to stay with these incredible people do not hesitate to book a room. You will have the most incredible experience possible. There's really is no other hotel experience greater than what is offered by the Lumiere Telluride. We are so excited to plan a fall trip to return and see the changing leaves. Can't wait to visit again soon! read more

This review is for the Little Bar (restaurant) at the Lumiere Hotel: When was the last time you ate somewhere and then cancelled your next evening's reservation elsewhere so that you could return to this same restaurant again? Yes - it is that good. Let me give you the deets: First of all...it is up at Mountain Village. The Little Bar at the Lumiere (per OpenTable.com), is nicely located at the intimate 28-room* Lumiere Hotel (near the gondolas). You take the garage elevator to the 4th floor and voila...swanky, cozy, elegant lounge. It is IMHO (in my honest opinion) TELLURIDE'S BEST KEPT SECRET! Lumiere staff Kat and Alex took excellent care of us as we selected a cozy corner of this beautifully understated, mountain cozy bar lounge. The fireplaces, lounge tunes (think Zero 7 and Bitter:Sweet), and ambiance here are like a Four Seasons private residence lounge, but with even better food! I knew we were in for a treat when we asked each of these lovely Lumiere ambassadors what they like on the menu, and both were GUSHING about the food...and both struggled to find the words to explain just why the dishes tasted so good. It was geniune...honest...they were still gushing. We started to get the idea that perhaps we were going to be amazed with our dishes no matter which ones we chose. We chose items based on their recommendations: the caesar salad, short rib taco, mushroom lasagna. We weren't starving since we had a large lunch, but we were eager to see what all this fuss was about! First up was the bread basket. It included a couple of lovely ciabatta rolls (whole grain wheat and plain) with salted butter. Excellent, traditional start. Then the caesar. The caesar dressing is amazing. Magic. Made with...love? The balance of lemon, garlic, white anchovy, the texture of the parmesan...wow. Best caesar in memory. Truly. Then, the short rib taco. OMG. Three letters. F*c%$ng Awesome. Fourteen letters. Either way, it rocked. The flavors in it...salty, tangy, sweet...umami. Perfection. The lasagna...WOW. Three letters again. F*c7$ng Incredible. You do the math. Meantime, I'm eating the lasagna. (Diversion - that's my strategy.) The lasagna...deconstructed to a certain degree with a melange of vegetables and lentils off to the side, with a gorgeously fried tofu cube...the crispy lasagna pasta layers atop creamy goat cheese, ricotta...mushrooms. Right about now, I started to formulate my strategy to maintain room for dessert. That lemon tart with chocolate, hazelnut crust, vanilla whipped creme and berry compote...definitely had my number. As in 911. Urgent and immediate attention required. The dessert arrived and you know you love someone (or you're just pretty mind-blowingly thoughtful) when you put down your fork and say, "...oh no - you go ahead and eat the rest. I'm full." I could have eaten an entire tart by myself. Not one 'dessert' portion. The whole tart. I can peddle up the mountain again tomorrow to burn those calories, I think to myself. Piece of tart. I mean cake. I learned that Chef Eamonn O'Hara is the magic man behind the curtain. I think we ought to erect a monument in his name. My guy suggested an addition to Mt Rushmore. I say Rushmore isn't thinking big enough. Yep - it's passionate, head-over-heels-love at Foodie first taste Mr. O'Hara. Meantime, I guess we'll just have to go back tomorrow night for another dining revelation as we figure out to get this guy's magic to reach us back home in Boulder, CO. For now, I just say make this a MUST DINE while in Telluride or the surrounding, say, 500 miles. Alex, Kat, Chef Eamon...You da bomb. We'll see you in 24. *18 guest rooms, 10 residences as we learned. In any case, it's intimate, charming and understated. read more

Our first trip to Telluride and we chose Lumiere based on the reviews from Conde Nast and Forbes. I would give this place 3.5 stars. I would not ever tell someone it is a luxury resort. The staff certainly were friendly from the guys out front that took our luggage, to the front desk to the bartender and breakfast staff. The pros-- The black tie ski rental and valet. They come to your room to fit you then take the skis to the valet on second floor. Mitch was AWESOME in the valet..friendly, helpful and really wants you to have a great experience. Your boots are warm and dry each morning (they even offer to buckle them) and your skis/poles are out on their private rack waiting for you. Fantastic service. The location was very convenient--steps away from the village restaurants and gondolas. Clean accommodations. Nice linens, humidifiers, L'Occitane products, turndown service. Fitness room is small but nice variety of equipment. The Cons-- VERY loud. Our room was 43. It is across from the kitchen. It sounded as if they were moving freight. There are signs all over reminding people to have well behaved pets....they need to add children to the signs. Kids were running up and down the hall and sounded like monkeys. Ridiculous. I realize that the blame is on the parents for those rugrats, but a luxury high end place would not have allowed such behavior or would not have such thin walls or would not place customers in this room. No room service. The continental breakfast was okay. Juice, yogurt, oatmeal, breads and cereal with coffee and tea each morning is served in the bar area. It was fine....nothing special especially after 3 days with the exact same options. The bar opens in afternoon and offers a couple of snacks--goat cheese toasts, crab dip, some sushi rolls. That is it. Sometimes after a full day of skiing and drinks at apres ski places one doesn't feel like getting ready and dressed to go out for dinner. There is NO option for delivery or any food with substance available. The phones do not work. We tried to call the ski valet, pushed the button on the phone and it called some random guy's cell phone. We tried to call the bar to get some wine and not an option. We tried to call the concierge to arrange a car to take us to the airport and once again, the concierge button did not connect to anything. The hot tub is SMALL and no view or ambience. We enjoyed our trip so much to Telluride---though I would probably try out another venue in Mountain Village if I returned. For the price, I think the little attention to details sets high end or boutique resorts apart and Lumiere just doesn't deliver. read more

Excellent! After scoring an excellent deal on expedia, my fiance and I (he wasn't fiance before our stay) booked a three night stay at the Lumiere. Locating in a quiet cul-de-sac in Mountain Village (up the gondola ride from Telluride), Lumiere was just about everything one would ask for in a romantic hotel stay. First the wonderful: Delightful complimentary Euro style breakfast with treats like small danishes, breads, cheeses, jellies/jams, meats, fruit and bagels. Very clean all throughout the lobby and guest room. Extremely hospitable, accommodating and polite staff. **Especially Assistant Manager Bas Plush comfortable beds, large bathroom, large tub and separate glass shower, balcony and mood lighting even in the most basic guest room. Quiet during most hours of the day, even on a Friday and Saturday during a jazz festival in Telluride. Quiet semi-private hot tub We loved our stay, but the few not-so-hot issues included: Rooms were rather warm, even in cloudy weather and rainstorms. Air conditioning is not provided in the rooms and our window and balcony door needed to be kept open at all times to cool the room. It was pleasant, however, because of the rain storms. Kids and families were extremely loud every morning for an hour or two and the noise wafts up the all the rooms around the pool. While I understand this is a somewhat family friendly hotel, perhaps some gentle signs or encouragement for quiet voice levels at all times would have been a plus? All in all, the location was convenient to the gondola down to Telluride and I just felt a little ritzy staying at the Lumiere. Truly the best hotel stay I've ever experienced...and to top it off I also got engaged in the middle of our stay. We will definitely be back. read more

We stayed at Lumiere Hotel the second week of February. This was our first trip to Telluride. Lumiere was a wonderful hotel - I would highly recommend it and stay there again. We had an extra person in our party, just staying for a few days, and they were super accomodating and put a cot in our room for him. And he was able to have the breakfast every morning, at no extra charge. Breakfast every morning - in the lobby - was incredible. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. They always had the basics (cereals, coffees, teas, oatmeal, yogurt and granola) and then each day they mixed it up a bit with the other items. They had 'theme days', like one day they flew in bagels from New York. One day they had different quiches. They had waffle day. One day was biscuits and gravy. They always had some kind of egg choice and always some kind of meat (sausage or bacon). Emily was the concierege I got to know the best and she was really helpful with dinner recommendations and helping me set up a private yoga lesson at The Peaks (another nearby resort). We had the basic room, king bed, small bar with sink, mini fridge and microwave. It was enough for us to make lunch in the room and then we went out for our dinners. The hot tub was perfect, situated outside and never crowded. The workout room was your usual cardio machines and free weights. I went every morning and there was never anyone else there. They also have a sushi bar downstairs that is open Wednesday-Sunday. The sushi chef works at Honga's (read my other review on that great restuarant) and the rolls are expensive but really fresh and delicious. The hotel is beautiful, and all of the staff were really friendly. We would definitly recommend this place for anyone to stay at. read more

Comfort, elegance, ambience, sophistication. That's it...you will certainly enjoy your visit and they have wonderful suggestions of activities you might partake of. My favorite - warm ski boots and nice people that help buckle them carry the skis to the hill. Yeah! After a great day on the mountain, wonderful sushi in a quaint friendly bar. read more

This hotel was very cozy and well decorated. Our room had a beautiful view out of each window with a small balcony facing the mountain. It also had ski in ski out capabilities. The ski valet, Chris, was awesome and helped make my first skiing experience more comfortable. The valet, Jose, was very friendly and asked us daily how our skiing experience was going. Would definitely recommend this place to others!! read more

We came to Lumiere Telluride for our honeymoon in September, and it was truly a 5 star experience! The hotel staff made us feel like VIP customers everyday. The staff gave excellent recommendations for how to best enjoy Telluride, and were always available. Our room (residence) was high end with views to die for. We had 2 balconies, each with breathtaking views of the San Juans. The bathroom has a multiple shower heads with steam features and a large soaking tub. The linens were perfect, and housekeeping was available for cleaning daily and for turn down service. The complimentary breakfast by Chef Ruben was always a pleasant way to start our adventures. There is no AC, but is not a problem at all in the autumn, we slept with windows and balcony doors open for fresh (cold) mountain air. We hope to be back for our anniversaries, we really fell in love with Telluride and Lumiere. read more

Excellent experience outstanding service. Customer service at its finest! I like the attention to detail. Thanks for a great visit to Telluride ! read more

Lumiere with Inspirato - Great views from the room. - Hotels Near Me - Telluride, Colorado

We got to lumiere after two days of camping. We were looking forward to two nights of comfort and bliss. We ended up getting refund and leaving the next morning because of the loud noises and being over heated in room. Since our room looked over the pool/hot tub. We were woken up numerous times in the night bc of guest in the hot tub. Since we couldn't keep our balcony door open (the main source for cooling room) we were also woken up sweating and couldn't fall back asleep because we were so hot. The front desk staff was not helpful at 1 in the mornin when we were distressed:( very disappointing. read more

This hotel was one of our favorite finds of our trip. We were honeymooning in CO and booked two nights via hoteltonight at a great last minute rate. We loved the hotel so much that we decided to extend our stay for a total of 4 nights. The staff, service and facilities were exceptional. The level of service compares (if not exceeds) some of our favorite Aspen and Vail spots. Staff was always attentive, efficient and friendly - always willing to give great suggestions for activities. Rooms were spotless - and cleaning staff went above and beyond! Our room and the entire facility were quiet - likely due to the time of year. We loved the outdoor hot tubs after a long day hiking or biking. The complimentary breakfast and afternoon treats were always a fun addition - breakfast style is continental (breads, fruit, yogurt, cereals, lox) with additional simple hot items (eggs, potatoes, bacon/sausage) cooked to order. Absolutely loved our stay, we definitely plan to return in the future. read more

Great services and incredible convenience to the ski lift. All the amenities are phenomenal. Every time I stay here I never want to leave, go figure. read more

Great spot. They upgraded us to one of the suites and the view and amenities were fantastic. The breakfast, while not overwhelming, was always solid, and the service was nice nice. The only two downsides were the smaller than anticipated pool/hot-tub and lack of AC -- we were there on mountain biking trip in summer. However, we were glad to trade that for the ambiance of a well executed, small ski/mountain, oriented hotel. We will be back. read more

I had been looking forward to my stay at the Lumiere Hotel in Telluride CO for some time when I was forced to cancel my reservation three weeks in advance. I had booked my reservation through Travelocity. The date on which I cancelled the reservation was after Travelocity's cancellation expiration date. The gracious personnel at the Lumiere Hotel worked with me and Travelocity to permit me to cancel my reservation with a greatly reduced fee. I am delighted and will turn to the Lumiere Hotel again the next time I need hotel accommodations in Telluride. read more

Perfection at it's finest! My husband and I recently stayed here for our honeymoon and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The one bedroom suite was incredible and so spacious, breakfast each morning was healthy and delicious, and the service was impeccable with friendly and knowledgeable staff greeting us with smiles every day. If and when we come back to telluride we will defintely be staying at the lumiere again. This hotel is undoubtedly the most upscale and romantic hotel in Mountain Village. We will be forever singing it's praises for making our week long vacation truly unforgettable. read more

Unbelievable boutique hotel! Probably best staff and accommodations I have ever experienced. Highly highly recommend (and I'm a tough critic)! read more

Our first time to Telluride. My husband and I booked at last minute because we weren't sure which town we were going to stay in. We know they weren't full yet they stuck us in an extremely tiny corner room with view of the railing near outside stairs. Come on-- really?? Extremely disappointed. I even went downstairs to the desk to see if we could get a better room. Oh yes--- for another $150.00!! I realize we booked on the app "Hotel Tonight" and didn't pay their website amount but they were not full. They simply gave us one of the worst rooms. In some corners there were paint chips on the ugly brown shag carpet. I felt we were not treated very well-- and this was labeled as a luxury hotel. Very disappointed with our room!!! Although Victor the bellman was the only good thing about staying there. He was so helpful and kind. Will not stay there again. read more

We have now stayed at Lumiere for our fourth visit, and I can't say enough good things about this property! Bas and his wife, the owners and managers, are amazingly accommodating and truly run a world class establishment. The rooms are extremely luxurious and well appointed. From top to bottom, this is by far the nicest place in Telluride! read more

This is a wonderful hotel, elevated by it's dedication to gracious customer service and personal attention. Clare and Bas, and the rest of the staff, could not have been more welcoming and helpful during every moment of our stay, right down to the last minute of our trip when we discovered that the airport shuttle did not bring the toddler car seat we had requested. Bas sprinted into the garage and gave us a car seat from the hotel, more concerned about my son's safety and helping us make our flight than ever getting the car seat returned. This, coupled with the clean and luxurious accommodations and ski-in/ski-out location, make the Lumiere Hotel an excellent Telluride destination. read more

My husband and I agreed this was the nicest hotel experience we have ever had! And we travel often. Our room was beautiful. But it was really the hotel staff, that went above and beyond to make us feel so comfortable, that put our stay over the top! They were very helpful in finding great hiking trails or places to eat. We truly did not want to leave. And we can't wait to go back. Breakfast was spectacular and included. As an example, I had the delicious "lox plate" our last day. it was served with lemon and capers on the side & I've been craving it ever since. We checked in 9/24 & stayed in beautiful room 46. I would highly recommend this hotel as a perfect retreat! read more

This place was unreal. My wife and I have stayed at nice places before, but our experience at Lumiere was not just unbelievably nice, but genuine. The people really cared who we were and what we were going to do on our visit. They scheduled reservations for us at restaurants in the area and even gave fishing advice. They upgraded our room free of charge and fulfilled every request within minutes. The complementary breakfast was just right. Everyone that worked there was really nice and great at what they do. We definitely recommend staying here! read more
