Vail Hotels

When you visit Vail, it’s totally understandable that you may want to spend your every minute on the slopes, hiking the trails or exploring the picturesque town. However, you’d be making a mistake if your schedule left no time to enjoy your Vail hotel as well. Vail’s reputation as a resort town means that it cuts no corners when it comes to luxury. You’ll have your pick of accommodation varieties on your trip to Vail: hotels from companies with recognizable names as well as independently owned boutique options, palatial suites, beds and breakfasts, mountain lodges and condos. Influences in these accommodations channel Swiss ski chalets, grand European castles, rustic-chic mountain lodges and more – sometimes it feels like your trip to Vail turned into a trip abroad! Vail hotels come in all shapes and sizes, but their amenities are extensive. Warm up by the fireplace in your room after a chilly day outside. Make an appointment at the on-site spa. Have your pick of on-site restaurant dining options that range from casual to four-course affairs.

Finding Your Vail Hotel

What do you want from your Vail hotel experience? If being near the slopes is your priority, you’ll want to look at places near the lifts for maximum efficiency. Maybe you’d like to be close to dining and shopping options, so a hotel in Vail will put you in the midst of the activity. For something a bit more upscale or the privacy that a condo allows, Lionshead Village is another option. While Vail isn’t particularly large, a great amenity that most accommodations offer is a bus system or shuttle that runs to the ski lifts, town center and also surrounding towns, so even if you’re tuckered out from that 15-mile hike, you can continue the exploration in comfort. Oftentimes your Vail hotel will offer prearranged activities such as hiking trips, skiing excursions or ones geared just for kids, so you’ll find that much of the fun and activities come to you.
