"It’s been a while since the New Sheridan Hotel was actually new — 1895, to be precise, which, in Colorado terms, is something like the late Middle Ages. That, obviously, is the key to its appeal: if you want to see what sets Telluride apart from the Rockies’ bigger, busier resort towns, there’s nowhere better to start than a hotel with a generous helping of historic charm, right smack in the middle of this picturesque little downtown, dominated by the looming peaks in the middle distance." - Tablet Hotels
