The Hotel Telluride is the hotel the bridal party will be staying at. When making a reservation please be sure to inform them you are coming into town for the Forger/ Hoppel Wedding to receive the discount. Or if booking online use the promo code "Forger".

Telluride is uniquely split into two communities with the mountain in the middle & a free gondola serivce connecting both sides that runs from 6am to 12pm every day.

The Town of Telluride is designated as a National Historic District with Victorian architecture and historic buildings along Main Street. The town is about one mile long so all of the shops, restaurants, hotels, and the free gondola are all within walking distance.

Mountain Village is the newer resort-style side of the town that has an Aspen feel to it. At the base of the gondola you will find the town center with shops and restaurants. This is also where the base of the ski resort is. During the summer/fall months, a lot of the shops and restaurants are closed on this side of the mountain.

We are staying in the Town of Telluride (instead of Mountain Village) and would suggest you might want to do the same. There is just more to do and see on this side of the mountain. The free gondola does run from 6am to 12pm every day.

We will be staying at the Hotel Telluride where we have a discount on rooms, but please feel free to check out The New Sheridan, Telluride Lodge, or The Victorian Inn (which are all in the Town of Telluride). If you choose to stay in Moutain Village, Mountain Lodge Telluride and The Peaks are great options. And of course & AirBnB have great condo and single family homes on both sides of the mountain.

This quaint hotel is located in the Town of Telluride and is more budget friendly than some of the other options. It ls also conviently located in the middle of the town & close to the gondola.

This hotel has quite a few different rooms options. It is about a 2 minute walk to the Market parking lot where the pick up/ drop off point is for the wedding transport. It would eliminate needing to take the gondola, but again is located in Mountain Village.

There are flights into Telluride but they are very expensive. We would recommend flying into Montrose, CO. Once in Montrose you will need to take a shuttle (use Telluride Express for a discount) to Telluride, about 45 mins away.

If you'd like, you could also fly into Grand Junction or Durango and rent a car. Both cities are about a 2-hour scenic drive from Telluride. There are no shuttles from the Durango or Cortez Airports and the shuttles from Grand Junction are very expensive, so please consider this when booking your airfare.
