Tucked neatly into its perch on the northern edge of Turkey Creek Mesa, the mesa that all of Mountain Village calls home, Courcheval boasts sweeping and staggering views of the Wilson Range and the San Sophia Ridge. Each unit has a front row seat to those illustrious western sunsets where being bathed in pink alpenglow is a regular occurrence. A rustic exterior of log planking and stone, with walls of glass facing the ski run, Courcheval is as attractive as its surrounding environment. All six residences are bathed with excellent solar exposure and natural light, whether cozying-up inside or relaxing on one of the private decks/patios.

Constructed of the finest exterior materials and interior finishes and with spacious floorplans similar to a single family residence, Courcheval townhomes are the quintessential alpine getaway where every attention to detail has been anticipated.

CAPELLA TELLURIDE When a dedicated developer and a legendary hotelier meet at a storied mountain, the result is - Capella Telluride. The resort will feature a new 148-unit luxury hotel and residential property in the spectacularly beautiful setting of the Town of Mountain Village, above historic Telluride, Colorado. Telluride, known for its intimate setting and unspoiled grandeur, is a perfect fit for the Capella brand that is committed to providing the ultimate in personal service.

TELLURIDE, CO (November 9, 2006) – Robert Levine, president and CEO of RAL Companies & Affiliates LLC and Horst Schulze, president and CEO of Capella Hotels and Resorts, announced today that Capella Hotels and Resorts has been selected to operate a new 148-unit luxury hotel and residential property in the spectacularly beautiful setting of the Town of Mountain Village, above historic Telluride, Colorado. The hospitality industry has been eagerly anticipating the announcement
of the first U.S. destination for the new Capella Hotels and Resorts brand, which has previously announced plans for hotels and resorts in Austria, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, and Singapore. Telluride, known for its intimate setting and unspoiled
grandeur, is a perfect fit for a brand that is committed to providing the ultimate in personal service.   RAL Companies & Affiliates president and CEO Robert Levine commented, “We evaluated every top-tier hotel flag, and determined that Capella Hotels and Resorts will offer the very best service and guest experience in the market.” “My firm built Mountain Village’s award-winning Inn at Lost Creek and it has been my family’s second home for the past 15 years,” Levine continued.
“So, we exercised scrupulous and exacting standards in selecting the operator of our new hotel. We are confident that Capella Telluride will live up to the expectations of the community, its guests, and buyers of the condominium units at the property.”

Capella Hotels and Resorts president and CEO Horst Schulze set benchmarks in the industry before, during his tenure as president, COO and vice chairman of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, where he established renowned luxury service standards. Schulze is convinced, however, that as existing fivestar brands have sought to broaden their audiences, they have left open a niche at the upper reaches of luxury travel that is going unfilled.

Capella’s uncompromising emphasis on personal service will raise the bar in the hospitality world once again, setting an
entirely new standard.   Designed by Denver-based Ivins Design Group in conjunction with CDA, a New York-based affiliate of RAL Companies, Capella Telluride will consist of 100 rooms and 48 residential units in a superb ski-in/ski-out location at the center of Telluride’s Mountain Village. Capella’s renowned services will be available to hotel guests and residential owners. Amenities will include a worldclass spa, pool, fitness center, ice skating rink, restaurants, entertainment and retail facilities and other features, with construction scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Capella Hotels and Resorts serves today’s top-tier travelers and residential property owners and is setting a new standard in the hospitality industry. Capella promises the unique benefits of the finest boutique hotels, including superb architecture and interior design, privacy, individualized service and attention to detail – combined with the amenities and activities of the world’s great luxury hotels and resorts. Capella, led by founder Horst Schulze, is a brand focused on customer choice, and offers choices that no other hotel company in the world can match. Capella is opening world-class properties in cities and resort destinations around the world, including: Capella Singapore; Breidenbacher Hof, a Capella Hotel (Düsseldorf, Germany); Capella Pedregal (Cabo San Lucas, Mexico); Capella Resort & Spa, Castlemartyr (Ireland); Capella Resort & Spa, Dunboy Castle (Ireland); and Schloss Velden, a Capella Hotel (Austria).

Thoughtfully designed as a unique and prestigious community within a community, no detail has been overlooked — from
homesites carefully placed to capture unobstructed 360˚ views, and bathed in sunshine longer than any other site in the region, to an historic owner’s cabin where neighbors can meet and entertain, and the list goes on: Gray Head’s amenities parallel it picture-perfect alpine views.

by the thick aspen groves of the Uncompahgre National Forest and sits on the western side of Deep Creek Mesa.
