SCOUT REVIEW
Austria Haus is one of those boutique gems that perfectly captures the spirit of Vail Village—elegant yet inviting, luxurious yet relaxed. Styled after traditional Austrian chalets, the hotel blends alpine warmth with upscale finishes, from timber beams and wrought iron details to plush furnishings and soft lighting. It’s small enough to feel intimate, with fewer than 30 rooms, ensuring personalized attention and a home-like atmosphere.
Guests love the seamless access to skiing—Gondola One is just a two-minute walk away, meaning you can linger over breakfast before hitting the slopes. After a long day on Vail’s legendary terrain, the heated outdoor pool and creekside hot tub are ideal for a soak, especially when snowflakes are falling. Inside, the lobby lounge with its roaring fireplace feels like a private mountain retreat, and the complimentary après-ski snacks add a thoughtful touch.
Rooms at Austria Haus are elegant and comfortable, featuring rich wood furniture, deep soaking tubs, and balconies overlooking either the mountains or Gore Creek. While there’s no on-site restaurant for dinner, the hotel’s proximity to Vail Village means you’ll have dozens of dining options—from casual après spots to fine dining—within a few minutes’ walk.
Whether you’re here for a romantic ski weekend or a relaxed alpine escape, Austria Haus manages to strike that elusive balance between sophistication and comfort. It’s a hotel that feels like part of Vail’s history yet delivers the modern amenities today’s travelers expect.
Who should stay here
Ideal for couples, small groups, or solo travelers seeking a cozy, upscale boutique hotel with excellent access to skiing and Vail Village’s vibrant scene.
Location
Austria Haus sits in the heart of Vail Village, just across the street from Gondola One and moments from the main pedestrian area. Guests can walk to shops, restaurants, and après-ski spots in under five minutes. The in-town shuttle stops nearby, providing easy access to other parts of Vail, while the scenic Gore Creek trail runs right behind the hotel for peaceful winter strolls.

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.
