Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail

Hill Glazier's 139-key alpine lodge opened 2010 at the front door of Vail Village, with a private Chalet at Gondola One for ski storage and lounge — Brayton Hughes interiors throughout. Year-round outdoor heated pool and two whirlpools in a sunken courtyard with outdoor fireplace; the 13-room spa runs the Spirit of the Rockies as the signature treatment. Tavernetta Vail anchors the dining bench, with The Remedy lounge alongside.

A ski-in/ski-out Four Seasons at the base of Vail Mountain, set in the village's stone-and-timber heart. World-class skiing steps from the door, with après-ski dining, a full spa, and mountain views from every room.
