Four Seasons JV to develop Four Seasons Resort and Residences Telluride

Hospitality and branded residential company Four Seasons, together with longtime collaborators and developers Fort Partners and real estate development firm Merrimac Ventures, have unveiled plans for the upcoming Four Seasons Resort and Residences Telluride. The project will feature 52 guestrooms, along with 43 hotel residences and 26 private residences.
Surrounded by the San Juan Mountains, Telluride, CO, is one of North America’s premier ski destinations. The destination comprises historic downtown Telluride and Mountain Village, where the upcoming Four Seasons hotel 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,” said Bart Carnahan, president, global business development, portfolio management and residential, Four Seasons. “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 will have ski-in/ski-out access. The resort will feature hotel residences as part of Four Seasons Villa and Residence Rentals program. The 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.”
Dev Motwani, president/CEO, Merrimac Ventures, “After more than seven years of dedication to this project, I could not be more thrilled to reach this incredible milestone. 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.”
The resort 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 have access to views of notable peaks and coveted summits from every vantage point.
The resort will also feature 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.
Residents will have access to the resort’s amenities, as well as offerings such as a ski valet and private lounge, along with personalized care and service from a dedicated Four Seasons residential team, led by a director of residences.
The unfurnished private residences range from 2,064 to 6,445 sq. ft., offering an opportunity for owners to design custom interiors that reflect their personal style. Each home will feature floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as large sliding doors opening onto private terraces in select units. The hotel residences are fully furnished, turnkey homes designed by Clements Design, ranging from 821 to 5,514 sq. ft. Hotel residence owners will have the option to include their residence in the Four Seasons Villa and Residence Rentals program.
Four Seasons Resort and Residences Telluride will be located near Telluride and Montrose Regional Airports. It will join Four Seasons alpine properties in North America, including locations in Vail, Jackson Hole, Santa Fe, Whistler and the upcoming Four Seasons Resort and Residences Deer Valley.
