Fairmont Heritage Place, Franz Klammer Lodge

Perched in Mountain Village above Telluride, this Franz Klammer Lodge sits steps from the base of Telluride Ski Resort and the Village Express Ski Lift. The upscale aparthotel is family-friendly and within easy walking distance of the Mountain Village Gondola and local lifts.

Sixty-three two- and three-bedroom residences (about 1,400–1,800 sq ft) feel like luxe ski homes with slope-side balconies, gas fireplaces and full kitchens. Rooms include washer/dryers, pillowtop beds, oversized bathrooms with jetted tubs and designer toiletries; note the property is closed in April, May, October and November.

Soak in a heated indoor/outdoor pool, five hot tubs, or unwind at the full-service Himmel Spa with sauna and steam room. Ski-in/ski-out access and ski valet make slope days effortless, while complimentary airport transfers, valet parking, concierge, fitness center and a game room keep things easy — wake up to crisp mountain mornings on your balcony.

A 24-hour business center and computer station pair with complimentary wired and wireless internet and meeting/conference facilities. Complimentary roundtrip airport shuttle is available on request.

An on-site restaurant and bar/lounge serve relaxed meals and drinks, with a complimentary guest reception on select days. Ideal for après-ski cocktails and casual evenings after the slopes.
