Founding alpine quarters
The Tyrolean-style retreat serves as an enduring mountain base, welcoming skiers in from the slopes just steps away.
What it’s good at
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The pedestrian village surrounds the property, placing Gondola One and Bridge Street's storefronts a brief stroll from the doors.
The rooms
Timber furnishings and marble bathrooms ground the interiors, while premium chalets add stone fireplaces and private balconies.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated year-round, the central courtyard pool sits beside two in-ground hot tubs beneath the forested ski slopes.
The spa
The spa houses eleven treatment rooms, steam rooms, and quiet lounges arranged around stone water features.
The fitness center
Exposed timber beams line the 3,500-square-foot fitness studio, equipped with cardio equipment, free weights, and dedicated stretching space.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Elway's serves hand-cut prime steaks and Colorado lamb, and Cucina prepares hearty alpine breakfasts beside the terrace.
How it began
The lodge opened in 1962 as Vail's first hotel, welcoming the resort's earliest skiers before the surrounding village took shape.
