Polished mountain outpost
It operates like a grand alpine lodge, blending attentive mountain service with a lively scene between Vail's two villages.
“The Four Seasons Resort Vail was built to impress, a towering structure of peaked roofs, floor-to-ceiling windows, and balconies…”

Inside there’s plenty of rustic Western character along with the unobtrusive elegance that’s something of a Four Seasons trademark.
“The Four Seasons Resort Vail has an excellent slope-adjacent location. But its sprawling and edgier 23 residences—ideal for longer stays to help you tackle Vail’s 278 trails and 5,317 acres of skiable terrain—are a super cool upgrade.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors sit between Vail Village and Lionshead, putting pedestrian cobblestone streets and local boutiques within an easy walk.
The rooms
Rooms come with gas-burning stone fireplaces and hickory trim, while limestone bathrooms hold deep freestanding soaking tubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The year-round outdoor pool sits in a sunken stone courtyard flanked by two whirlpool tubs and an open fireplace.
The spa
The spa has stacked-stone hydrotherapy pools, cold plunges, and a relaxation lounge warmed by a stone fireplace.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Shearling throws drape wooden Adirondack chairs on the heated terrace, where guests gather for fireside cocktails in the snow.
Getting ready for a day on the slopes doesn’t get much easier than this. A heated path takes you from the hotel to a three-story building…
