Escape to the mountains in luxury at this AAA Four Diamond resort. Thanks to its location at the base of Vail Mountain and proximity to Chair #20, hitting the slopes at Grand Hyatt Vail is within easy reach. Simply ski in and ski out. The resort’s ski rental program simplifies the whole experience. After a day of skiing or snowboarding, warm up in one of the hot tubs or indulge in a massage at the on-site spa.

Rooms and suites—some featuring mountain or creek views, fireplaces and balconies—present Colorado-inspired contemporary decor in a neutral palette of brown and tan with pops of blue.

Dining is easy: The resort offers venues for casual or fine dining. Alternatively, the restaurants of Vail Village are within walking distance.

AAA Inspector Notes: “This spacious riverside resort sits in a quiet area a short drive or shuttle ride from Vail Village. Since it has its own ski lift, you won’t have to leave the property to hit the slopes. While you work out, play racquetball or get a massage, take advantage of the on-site child-care services.”
