Madeline Hotel & Residences, Auberge Resorts Collection Announces New Private Membership Community, Crest Club
Madeline Hotel & Residences, Auberge Resorts Collection, Telluride's five-star alpine resort, announces the debut of Crest Club, its onsite private membership community situated in the spectacular San Juan Mountains. Perched at 9,545 feet, Crest Club will boast slopeside world-class facilities designed to create the ultimate base camp for adventure, offering unsurpassed amenities and exclusive programming spotlighting the best of the destination. Crest Club will redefine the ski-in ski-out experience, bringing together a community with a shared passion for alpine adventure to celebrate the multitude of extraordinary experiences in Telluride.
Designed by the award winning firm Rose Ink Workshop, Crest Club invokes a warmly curated great room in a French Alps chalet with intimate, meticulously detailed yet effortlessly chic touches. The private club encompasses two distinct spaces – a members' lounge with a state-of-the-art locker room and the private jewel box bar, Falcon Room with signature fireplaces adorned in marble, wood, and blackened steel – which feature cozy, vintage-inspired furniture pieces and stylistic elements taking cues from alpine outings and inviting botanical design.
"We are thrilled to introduce Crest Club, poised to be the most exclusive private ski club in the Rocky Mountains," said Bryan Woody, Regional Vice President, Madeline Hotel & Residences, Auberge Resorts Collection.
Within Falcon Room is a vibrant après scene reserved for members to enjoy, featuring bespoke cocktails, alpine-inspired fare, and a curated library of ultra-rare spirits, including Pappy Van Winkle Whiskey, Macklowe Whiskey, and a selection of single vineyard Armagnac and Cognac from 1972, aged 50 years and paying homage to Telluride Ski Resort's opening year.
"We are thrilled to introduce Crest Club, poised to be the most exclusive private ski club in the Rocky Mountains," said Bryan Woody, Regional Vice President, Madeline Hotel & Residences, Auberge Resorts Collection. "CrestClub will bring together an elite group of vibrant individuals whose passions align with alpine adventure and a distinct sense of exploration. We look forward to bringing a new tier of mountain luxury and après to Telluride."
Members of Crest Club will enjoy year-round valet parking, private lockers with individual boot and glove dryers, dedicated ski valet, and curated members-only programming, such as exquisite culinary experiences, exclusive heli-skiing adventures, and first tracks on the mountain. Membership also offers a dedicated concierge staff, complimentary breakfast, preferred reservations at the onsite Timber Room and Black Iron Kitchen + Bar, and year-round access to Madeline's Alpine Swim Club and heated outdoor pool, along with the on-property Gym. Among the notable founding members of Crest Club is Olympic medalist Gus Kenworthy, a champion freestyle skier who grew up in Telluride.
Surrounded on three sides by the dramatic 14,000-foot peaks of the San Juan Mountains, Madeline Hotel & Residences, Auberge Resorts Collection is a 83-room and 71-residence alpine retreat, located in the historic town of Telluride, Colorado. Undergoing a dramatic property-wide redesign by Liubasha Rose of Rose Ink Workshop in 2021, the transformation brought modern new public spaces including Timber Room, the resort's vibrant indoor-outdoor bar and lounge recognized as one of best outdoors bars in the nation, and Alpine Swim Club, an exclusive, awe-inspiring swim club and dining terrace.
