The Spa at The Peaks Resort: Award-winning Luxury

Presented by the Telluride Tourism Board and Telluride Inside…and Out

It is a world within a world within another much the same: the Spa at The Peaks Resort & Spa in Mountain Village, Telluride, is self-contained, breathtakingly beautiful, blissful. Just a few hours at the award-winning retreat is like taking white-out to the cares of the real world. The Spa like the hotel and its surroundings provides an extraordinary respite for mind, body, and spirit.

The Peaks Resort & Spa in Mountain Village is the Telluride region’s only full-service hotel. The property includes 161 well-appointed guest rooms, including 32 suites, penthouse condominiums, and two to five-room mountainside residences, all with jaw-dropping views of 14,000-foot Rocky Mountains, the eponymous “Peaks.”

The hotel complex offers ski in/ski out access in winter and is home to the local heli ski and board outfitter, Helitrax; in summer, it is central ops for the Pro Shop for the Telluride Golf Company’s championship course.

Onsite dining at The Peaks includes the signature Palmyra restaurant, like the Spa, recently overhauled under the new and very grand Grand Heritage management. LIke the peak it takes its name from, Palmyra, the restaurant is very dramatic. Its decor, based on a fire and ice theme, includes walls of fire; lighting fixtures imported from Italy supply the “ice.” Counter to the pop trend in eateries to replicate the insides of a cattle car, at Palmrya there is plenty of elbowroom and enough insulation to invite leisurely conversations over dinner. An air of rustic elegance suggests a watering hole for well-heeled diners – or splurgers – who cook of necessity, but love to eat. For more casual dining, there’s the Great Room, The Lift, Legends and Deep End Grill (summer only), as well as in-room private dining.

Great food is just one of a many indulgences at The Peaks, which includes the aforementioned spa, the largest in Colorado. The 42,000-foot facility, named by Conde Nast Traveler one of the top 15 resort spas in the country, includes 32 treatment rooms offering the latest and greatest in massage and aesthetic services.

“Our spa exclusively features ISUN Alive & Ageless skincare,” explains Spa director Jenny Bradley. “ISUN was created with the idea that each product and service carries within it the potential of a ‘quantum healing effect.’ That means beyond repairing and revitalizing the skin alone, your total being is positively impacted.”

Jenny names the three signature ISUN not-be-missed treatments: Honey-Avocado Ultra Moisturizing Treatment, Trim and Tone Detoxifying Wrap and Goddess Facial to release your inner Venus.

The Peaks’s Spa also encompasses a full-service salon and two pools, an Olympic-sized lap pool and an indoor/outdoor pool complete with a water slide. The fully-equipped fitness center, where certified instructors teach private and group classes, includes Pilates and Yoga studios, Life Fitness cardio machines, Cybex circuit weight equipment and a climbing wall. Gender-specific and co-ed steam rooms, saunas and Roman tubs, an oxygen inhalation room plus private men’s and women’s lounges round out the picture of contentment.

Your Spa experience is not limited to the length of a particular service,” continues Bradley. “Instead, we welcome you to immerse yourself in tranquility and exceptional service all day long. We take great pride in the skill and expertise of our therapists to bring your body to its deepest resting state, and after your experience, back to its greatest vitality.”

“Surrounded by the sheer beauty of the mountains and the natural setting in the clouds (literally) at over 9,500 feet, people are already in a altered state when they arrive at the Peaks’s Spa, which serves to cultivate and even deeper state of relaxation,” says Brittanny Havard, marketing coordinator.
