Creekside alpine retreat
Vail Mountain slopes rise directly behind the property, giving way to creek trails and hiking routes as snow thaws.
What it’s good at
Notable
A 50,000-square-foot athletic club alongside thermal saunas overlooking Gore Creek.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
A paved trail traces Gore Creek into Vail Village and Lionshead, with a resort shuttle running all day.
The rooms
Interiors use rich stone and leather, and select suites have gas fireplaces and balconies overlooking the creek.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The spa
Ten treatment rooms offer botanically infused therapies and CBD bodywork, alongside Swiss chill showers and a fireplace lounge.
The pool, saunas and gym
A heated saline infinity pool and outdoor cedar saunas steam beside the creek, just past the expansive athletic club.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Makoto Vail
Chef Makoto Okuwa prepares Edomae-style sushi and wagyu beneath white oak slats and expansive snow-facing windows.
Restaurant
Gore Creek Market
The casual market counter pours morning espresso and packs grab-and-go bites next to a light-filled dining space.
At the table
Gessner Restaurant serves European alpine dishes against floor-to-ceiling creek views and a glass-enclosed wine wall.
How it began
The property opened in 1982 as Vail Cascade Resort before becoming Grand Hyatt's first mountain resort in the country.
