SCOUT REVIEW
The Westwind in Vail is a standout for travelers seeking comfort and convenience right in the heart of Lionshead Village. This condo-style property blends the independence of self-catering accommodation with the ease of a well-run lodge. Each unit is individually owned, so while the décor can differ, most condos feature cozy alpine-inspired interiors, fireplaces, and balconies—ideal for relaxing after a long day on the slopes.

After skiing, unwind in the outdoor heated pool or soak in one of the two large hot tubs while admiring the snowy peaks of Vail Mountain. The property also offers complimentary ski lockers, on-site laundry facilities, and free parking—valuable perks in this premium resort town.

About Vail
If Aspen is Hollywood then Vail is Wall St - popular with the money-never-sleeps-but-it-does-wear-Bogner set. Attracting tens of thousands of visitors a year, it’s quite the place to be seen, and to ski! Luxury is standard at Vail, the pedestrian-friendly village weaves around the buildings and has a wonderful European-style feel to it. The mountain terrain (one of the largest in the world) boasts perfectly groomed corduroy, powder stashes galore, and pristine tree skiing. Team this up with endless accommodation options, easy access from Denver, and one of the best après scenes in North America, it's no surprise Vail is a favourite among local and international ski enthusiasts.
