Madeline Hotel, Auberge Telluride: Ski-in/ski-out alpine sanctuary at 9,540ft in Mountain Village, Telluride with rooftop pool and Black Iron Kitchen

Perched at an elevation of 9,540 feet in the heart of Mountain Village directly on the world-class ski slopes of Telluride, Colorado, Madeline Hotel & Residences opened as a premier alpine resort. A distinguished member of the Auberge Resorts Collection, the 133-room ski-in/ski-out retreat is surrounded on all sides by the dramatic 14,000-foot peaks of the San Juan Mountains. Featuring an iconic year-round heated rooftop outdoor swimming pool and hot tubs with 360-degree mountain views, direct ski departure onto Lift 4, the vibrant Timber Room cocktail lounge, Black Iron Kitchen & Bar, and the holistic Madeline Spa, Madeline defines Colorado alpine luxury.

Arrival introduces travelers to warm Rocky Mountain hospitality: personal ski concierges greet guests by the roaring stone fireplace in the timber lobby with hot spiced alpine cider. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating premier Telluride ski, snowboard, and mountain pursuits: stepping directly from the ski valet onto the slopes of Mountain Village, riding the complimentary scenic pedestrian gondola into the historic Victorian mining town of Telluride (13 minutes away with breathtaking canyon views), heli-skiing in the San Juan backcountry, ice climbing in Bridal Veil Falls, snowshoeing to alpine huts, fly fishing on the San Miguel River, and reserving dinner at Black Iron Kitchen.

Alpine living balances mountain exhilaration with holistic wellness: the Madeline Spa offers altitude recovery treatments, dry saunas, and steam rooms. The rooftop heated outdoor swimming pool and twin hot tubs are suspended above the ice skating rink with views of Wilson Peak. Dining is centered in Black Iron Kitchen & Bar (serving hearty wood-fired rotisserie cuts and Colorado game), the glamorous Timber Room (serving fondue, caviar, and artisan cocktails), and casual après-ski on the plaza.

Accommodations comprise 133 rooms, suites, and residential condominiums ranging from 45 to 250 square metres. Each room features custom alpine timber furnishings, gas fireplaces, private balconies framing mountain peaks or the plaza, king beds, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs.

Ski enthusiasts, hikers, and luxury families seeking premier ski-in/ski-out Mountain Village access, rooftop heated pool views, and Auberge Resorts hospitality in Telluride should book Madeline Hotel without hesitation. Travelers seeking low-altitude warm beaches should look elsewhere.
