Element 52, Auberge Resorts Collection

My family and I stayed at the Auberge 52 in Telluride a few days before Memorial Day. That is off-season for Telluride and there were few to no other guests. That's crazy, because the weather was ideal and there were plenty of restaurants open in Telluride. People should be taking advantage of this window. The moderate difficulty Bear Creek and Bridal Veil trails were snow-free and magnificent. For us, it was a perfect time of year to visit. Telluride is not a big place and the restaurants were busy in off-season, I cannot imagine how busy they must be during summer high season. Our room, A13, had outstanding views (the online pictures represent the view perfectly). The beds were comfortable and the upstairs living/dining/kitchen areas were convenient and comfortable. Very quiet. Eddie and the rest of the staff were great. The hotel is centrally located, five minutes walk from a grocery store and ten minutes walk from anywhere in downtown Telluride. A trail alongside the San Miguel river is just outside the hotel entrance.

Absolutely the best place to stay in Telluride. We have done long term winter rentals for the past eight years and Element 52 does not disappoint, From the incredibly professional and friendly staff to the absolute best location and fabulous amenities (i.e., onsite spa and ski locker, private funicular to ski trails, fresh morning danish and afternoon cookies, in town transportation, etc.), Element 52 just keeps getting better.

This resort is top notch! We have been coming yearly for 5 years and wouldn't stay anywhere else. Alex and his team go above and beyond to make sure we are well taken care of each year. From picking up lift tickets, to arranging transportation, making dinner reservations and shuttling us into town, there's nothing they weren't happy to do for us. We feel right at home here and would be lucky to be able to continue coming back. Everyone greeted us with a smile and willingness to provide anything our family needed. Each room we have stayed in has been incredibly beautiful and well stocked. It truly feels like we at home when we stay here. We loved hitting the pools and hot tub each afternoon and sitting by the fire pit in the evening. The location is perfect in that it is ski in/ski out but also a short walk into town. We're already looking forward to next year. Thanks to everyone at Element for another amazing week!

This was my second time for a massage at Element 52. We loved Telluride so much during our first visit last year we returned this year. My husband skis and I walk, shop and relax. I love to indulge in a massage when I’m on a special trip. Element 52 is totally walkable from the gondola (if you’re staying in mountain village), or from a hotel/condo in town. Communication about confirmation and where to arrive were great. So was the massage itself!

Everyone affiliated with Element 52 was extremely helpful and friendly. The rooms were great and the service impeccable.
