Four Seasons, along with longtime collaborators and developers Fort Partners and real estate development firm Merrimac Ventures, will develop the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Telluride in Colorado. The project will have 52 guestrooms, along with 43 hotel residences and 26 private residences.
Located in the San Juan Mountains, Telluride has a rich heritage dating back to the late 1800s and is acclaimed as one of North America's premier ski destinations. The area is made up of historic downtown Telluride and Mountain Village, where the upcoming Four Seasons will be located.
"We are excited to introduce a new opportunity for guests and residents alike to enjoy one of America's best ski destinations with Four Seasons," Bart Carnahan, president, Global Business Development, Portfolio Management and Residential, Four Seasons, said in a statement. "Fort Partners and Merrimac Ventures are the perfect collaborators to bring this project to life – both with a deep understanding of the destination, Four Seasons legendary service, and a shared commitment to creating exceptional experiences, whether you are visiting for a short time or calling Telluride home."
Located adjacent to both the gondola connecting Telluride and Mountain Village, and the Telluride Ski Resort, guests and residents alike will have ski-in/ski-out access, with access to the downtown center. The resort will have 52 rooms and suites, along with hotel eesidences as part of Four Seasons Villa and Residence Rentals program. The 26 private residences will range from two- to five-bedrooms with Hotel Residences ranging from one- to four-bedrooms.
"Telluride is a place of extraordinary heritage and beauty, and represents the rare opportunity to create something timeless," said Nadim Ashi, founder, Fort Partners. "Together with Four Seasons and Merrimac, we are creating a new landmark that will reflect this legacy, honor its natural beauty and endure for generations."
"After more than seven years of dedication to this project, I could not be more thrilled to reach this incredible milestone," said Dev Motwani, president and CEO of Merrimac Ventures. "This achievement would not have been possible without the support of exceptional local partners like Telluride Ski & Golf (TellSki), the Town of Mountain Village and TMVOA. We are fortunate to inherit such a remarkable site and destination, and to have the opportunity to build upon and complement the outstanding work they've already done here."
Four Seasons Resort and Residences Telluride will span three connected buildings, with architecture led by Olson Kundig and interiors by Clements Design. The design philosophy is both inspired by and curated to showcase the surrounding landscape. With floor-to-ceiling windows and natural materials throughout, guests and residents will enjoy generous views of notable peaks and coveted summits from every vantage point.
The Resort will also have two culinary outlets, a fitness facility and a spa with a thermal lounge, cold plunge and eight treatment rooms. The wellness offerings will also include a lap pool and outdoor hot tub.
Four Seasons Resort and Residences Telluride will be a short distance from Telluride and Montrose Regional Airports. It will join Four Seasons alpine properties in North America including in Vail, Jackson Hole, Santa Fe, Whistler, and the upcoming Four Seasons Resort and Residences Deer Valley.
