What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Aesthetically, it’s full of mid-century modernist inspiration, and in its comforts it’s upscale but unfussy.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Lionshead Village cobblestones lie right outside, just a five-minute walk from the Eagle Bahn Gondola.
The rooms
Rooms look out at Vail Mountain through wide picture windows, finished with warm Douglas fir paneling and local stone.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated outdoor pool stays open through every season, flanked by whirlpool tubs and a bright fitness studio.
The spa
Oxygen therapies counter the mountain elevation, and treatment rooms offer alpine botanical massages and body polishes.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Margie’s Haas prepares alpine dishes with Rocky Mountain ingredients, and Revel Lounge pours drinks well past ski hours.
A massive, glass-enclosed fireplace anchors the hotel lobby, and skiers fresh from the slopes order whiskey cocktails from the lobby bar…
How it began
The name comes from the Old English word for haven, honoring the 10th Mountain Division ski troopers who founded Vail.
