The Victorian Inn has been a family run hotel since it was built. 

In 1991, the Inn was purchased by an avid ice climber. At that time, most of the hotels in town were open only in summer, which is still the busiest part of the year. However, the new owners were ice climbers. They decided to create a winter season in Ouray by developing the Ouray Ice Park and facilitating the Telluride discount Ski Program. The Victorian Inn or “Vic” became the place to be during Ouray’s Ice season.  Today the Ice Park is an internationally known Ice climbing venue that attracts ice climbers from all over the world and the Ouray Victorian Inn is still the place to be during the Ice season!

 In December, 2008, the Inn was purchased by the current owners Jan and Brian Lisk. They moved to Ouray from Chicago with their two sons, as well as 2 cats. Roscoe, the official dog greeter, was added to the family after arriving in Ouray.  We are working hard to make sure your stay with us exceeds expections.

We are constantly looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint and be more efficient in the way we use resources.  Currently, we have several Green programs in place.

 Recycling: The Victorian Inn is one of the few Hotels in Ouray with a recycling program.  We recycle bottles, cans, plastic drink bottles, and paper. 

Energy efficiency: We have replaced all the lights in the guest rooms and public areas with Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) that  use 50 - 80% less energy than incandescent light bulbs. Our housekeepers use natural lighting as much as possible and are trained to turn all lights off when leaving a room.

In the heating season, we encourage guests to leave drapes open to take advantage of the natural solar gain from our south facing windows.  We also utilize a two step heating system, using efficient hot-water heating to maintain a base level of heat  which limits the amount of heat that must be provided by the individual units located in each room

While each room is air conditioned, we encourage our guests to open the windows, and let the natural convection of the mountain air and breezes from the river behind the Inn cool the room naturally. All rooms have operable windows and excellent cross ventilation. 

We also specify energy star certification for all new appliances and have replaced most room televisions with more efficient flat screen units. 

Water Conservation; We change bed linens every fourth day and at check out to reduce the amount of water and detergents used for washing.  We encourage guests to reuse towels by hanging them up. Our housekeepers are trained to report any dripping faucets or running toilets so they can be repaired immediately. 

Cleaning materials: We have eliminated nearly all of the chemicals formerly used for cleaning rooms and public spaces, replacing them with non-toxic and safer solutions that still provide the same level of cleanliness.  We purchase all cleaning materials in bulk so that we can use refillable hand spray containers for all cleaning materials.

We are continually looking for ways to reduce impacts in the overall operations of the hotel.
