We just returned from a week at the River Club in Telluride. Highly recommend it. The service couldn't be better. The staff is super-friendly, willing to drop whatever they are doing to meet their guests' needs....whether it be a ride to dinner, help with luggage, a dinner reservation. Location is wonderful. Just a block and a half from gondola.

Thank you for your stay, please keep me in mind for the future

The Franz Klammer Lodge in Telluride, CO is a wonderful vacation. My two young sons, my husband and I all loved the resort. It is based in Mountain Village right at the Gondola and Chair lift for easy access to skiing or to the town of Telluride. All the employees were considerate and tried to anticipate our needs. The ski valet was fantastic after a long day on the slopes. We rented skis from the ski shop located in the FKL and it was a smooth process. Our suite- really a condo- was a huge three bedroom, with three gorgeous bathrooms, high end kitchen, laundry, fireplace. It was very clean with Temperpedic mattresses and full down duvets. When we needed maintenance, they were up in five minutes. It was a luxurious place to stay from the pick up at the airport, through check in, to the end of the week. If we go back to Telluride, we will return to the Franz Klammer Lodge.

The best place to stay in Telluride. Wonderful service, amenities, and location.

Great location, fantastic amenities. The skiing is the BEST.We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Would love to return; we PLAN to return!

My family and I travelled to Telluride in February 2009 and enjoyed a fabulous ski trip, staying at The Franz Klammer Lodge. The accommodation was of a superior quality and the service from the lodge was exemplary. The facilities were very good and included a small indoor hot-tub in the spa area, sauna and steam room. Transportation around Telluride is very easy with the gondola system and the Franz Klammer will also provide a shuttle service. The resort is truly beautiful. It has great skiing but has a small, uncrowded community feel. I would definitely return to the Franz Klammer for a future trip to Telluride.

Fantastic stay in a comfortable and convenient locale, especially for families. It was a 10 plus vaction!

My family stayed at the Franz Klammer for a week in January (2010). The location is fabulous - particularly if you want ski/in, ski/out. The property itself is luxurious and well-managed. Great concierge service...great restaurants and great skiiing. We loved it and would return without hesitation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Franz Klammer! The hotel service and amenities were top notch. The condo was very nicely appointed and quite comfortable -- not to mention the best location. Easy access to the slopes, gondola to town or grocery, ski school, stores, restaurants! We would love to come back to our favorite ski destination, Telluride, and would stay at Franz Klammer again in a heartbeat.

Wow! Our stay at the incredibly lovely Franz Klammer property vastly exceeded our expectations, which were high to begin with. The location is just the best--the aspens were at their peak when we visited. The views and sunsets from this property are just amazing. The best part of this location was that you can walk a few minutes to beautiful, Swiss-made gondolas that whisk you over the mountain to Telluride or the opposite direction to a gourmet grocery store. The best part is that the gondolas are free--they are public transportation. Our children loved this perk! The level of service at the Franz Klammer was fantastic! We had forgotten a few things and the staff cheerfully provided the items for our use. The staff was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Our kids loved the pool and the work out room. We loved the views and the fresh ground coffee that was graciously provided. The beds were comfortable and the bedding and towels were luxurious. We were pleasantly surprised that there were no additional fees for the on site parking. Our condo was very clean and included daily maid service. The Telluride area is fantastic for families or adventure seekers alike. There is a gorgeous river walk in Telluride as well as a plethora of fun shops to visit. The legendary "Last Dollar Road" 4-wheel trail is one of the most spectacular drives in America and can be caught near Telluride. Many people load their mountain bikes on the gondolas and ride them down the mountain--we want to do this next time! We highly recommend the Franz Klammer property--we can't wait to come back!!

They thought of everything. We had everything at our finger tips from the moment we arrived in Telluride!

Indeed service excellence is a hallmark of the Franz Klammer experience. Glad you enjoyed your stay, please come back.

This is the most amazing facility I have ever had the pleasure to stay with. The staff is amazing from the time you drive in to when you leave! The service extended is superb! We had a 2 bedroom condo that was great, and the bathrooms were fabulous! Great walk-in showers and deep jetted bathtubs that I couldn't wait to get in!!! If you get the opportunity to stay at the Fairmont in Mountain Village you will definitely be glad you did!

All was excellent. I saved your info in my “skiing” file.

Fantastic stay at Franz Klammer. Condo was great, right on slopes with a ski valet thrown in and gondola to town 50 metres away. Thoroughly recommended!

Fantastic family getaway. The Franz Klammer staff is wonderful and the location is fantastic!

Great place once you get there. Recommend

The three-bedroom condominium was great and the service in the lodge was wonderful. I rated it as five-star. We really enjoyed being in Mountain Village versus being in the town and it was so simple to take the 12 minute gondola ride into town when we wanted to get there.

Wonderful property! The only drawback is the noise from the road next to the property. Large noisy delivery trucks drove by all night. Everything else was top notch!

Property was close to the lift and the ski valet was perfectly located. Hotel staff was very friendly with great customer service training. While this room did not have the greatest view it was still OK. This was a great trip for us.

Can not say enough about the Fairmont Franz Klammer, truly an exceptional property combining spectacular Telluride with luxury accommodations and service excellence (from the minute you step off the plan, staff even picks you up at the airport). Meanwhile Brad and Luxury Mountain Destinations LLC were exceptional as well, offering the top rated property for SIGNIFICANTLY less than it normally goes for, highly recommend!

We've stayed at Franz Klammer twice while in Telluride. Each visit was great. Perfect slopeside accommodations for families or small groups. The location is perfect, centrally located in Mountain Village with easy access to Gondola to downtown Telluride. Great staff and services to meet the discriminating traveler's needs. Highly recommended!

If you haven't stayed at the Fairmont Franz Klammer you have to, from the minute you are picked up at the airport the service is exceptional, meanwhile once you arrive everything for your stay is thought of and right there. If you expect the best, this is it. Meanwhile can't beat the rates and professional handling offered by Luxury Mountain Destinations LLC, highly recommend going to the Franz Klammer and booking through them (they saved me several thousand).

My husband and I have been visiting Telluride for almost twenty years now. We have stayed at several different places in both Telluride and Mountain Village, and find that The Franz Klammer is our absolute favorite. The units are large, comfortable, and well appointed. The decor leans towards ski condo/ mountain flair, while not being over-stated. The seperation of the primary master suite from the children's rooms is much appreciated. The game room is great for the kids, and the pool, while on the smaller side, is nice. The location is perfect for us, right in the heart of Mountain Village near the Gondolas. The children thought it was great fun to take the smaller gondola straight to the grocery store :)The staff are always friendly and helpful. Unit 409, where we just stayed, is our favorite, with a stunning view of the surrounding mountains. The only thing I would change about our trip was the timing. The Fourth of July week is EXTREMELY busy. I had never experiencd gondola lines before, nor crowds on this scale--neither of which should reflect on The Franz Klammer. We will definately be back, just on quieter weeks.

This is a wonderful hotel apartment where you can relax, swim, spend time in the hot tubs, and enjoy all that Telluride and the Mountain Village have to offer. It is a three bedroom, three bath apartment with all of the necessities and friendly, helpful staff. It is clean, comfortable, and a total get-away from the grind. We will be back!!

We had a great trip. The actual condo was nice with many amenities. But it was the hospitality of the entire staff that made it such a great place and experience. Everyone seemed to go out of their way to make sure that we were taken care of - whether it was getting transportation for day trips, shuttling back-and-forth from the airport, getting ski equipment, or anything else. We would definitely stay there again.

Telluride is fantastic. Lodge was great.

We stayed here for our week-long family summer vacation and the property was the best we have stayed in. It was clean, roomy, and very comfortable. It is also one of the best locations to mountain village restaurants and the free Gondola.

Lovely spacious mountain condo with great kitchen, nice bedrooms and bathrooms. All you need to enjoy your mountain retreat with gondola access to Telluride. Concierge and valet parking for convenient and luxury living.

cant beat the location....very roomy and comfortable location and a two minute walk to gondolas. Amenities of a hotel, space and privacy of a condo...WE WILL BE BACK!
