Telluride Dining
Cosmopolitan
The newly renovated Cosmopolitan Bar & Lobby offers a more relaxed & contemporary environment perfect for enjoying one of our many craft cocktails. The Cosmo Bar features a revolving selection of wines on tap, making great wines from around the world available by the glass. Walk in guests are welcome in the Bar & Lobby areas on a first come first serve basis year around. During warmer times of year, outdoor seating is available.
“To find one of the best meals in Colorado, you’ll need to drive to Telluride—and it’s totally worth it. Just across the street from the gondola sits Cosmopolitan Telluride, chef-owner Chad Scothorn’s homage to fusion and (whenever possible) locally sourced ingredients.“
