St. Elmo's has more charm and character than most any place we have ever stayed. With its antique furniture and Victorian decor, it almost made us forget what century this is. The rooms were spacious and beautifully furnished. Very clean. Luxurious towels and some of the best shampoo, soap, and lotion samples we have used. The rooms are not air... More

It remains one of our favorite hotels in the world because of its 1) gorgeous location in the San Juan Mountains, in the charming... More

We stayed here for one night before heading over to Telluride for skiing. The St. Elmo hotel had very nice owners. It was very clean and the decor was very charming. Our room did not have a television but I was not disappointed by that fact because why watch tv when there's so much beauty in Ouray to be seen.... More

My boyfriend took me to Ouray recently on my first trip to see him in Colorado. After driving to through the country side, we stopped in Ouray. We hadn't planned on staying over night, but made a last minute decision to stay in town. I liked the look of the St. Elmo's Hotel so we decided to venture in. I... More

My husband and I have been visiting the St. Elmo for the past ten years and recently stayed again for our tenth anniversary. We were very sad by what the new owners have turned this amazing place into:( It was dirty, the service was very bad and it smelled like a coffee shop in Amsterdam. Our room smelled like pot... More

A close friend and I stayed in the St Elmo for three nights while taking fabulous day trips with Switzerland of America Tours - HIGHLY recommended for the outstanding scenery - IF you can tolerate narrow dirt roads with sheer drop offs of hundreds of feet. My husband and I had stayed at St Elmo three years ago in a... More

We're so glad to have stayed in The St. Elmo for a variety of reasons but the most important one being that it was peaceful and quiet. We slept like babies! Good babies! The staff is very polite and pleasant. The room was clean and cozy. The breakfast was delightful. We'll be back!!
