SCOUT REVIEW
Grand Hyatt Vail delivers an exceptional combination of modern luxury, mountain charm, and slope-side access—making it one of Vail’s most convenient and comfortable ski hotels. Perched right along Gore Creek and at the base of the Cascade Village Lift (Chair 20), it offers true ski-in ski-out access, which is a rarity in Vail. Guests can literally step from their ski lockers onto the snow.
The hotel’s design reflects contemporary alpine sophistication, with warm wood tones, stone accents, and large windows framing mountain and creek views. Rooms and suites are spacious, featuring plush bedding, cozy fireplaces in some, and balconies for that morning coffee or evening après moment. The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined—ideal for both leisure and adventure.
The spa at Grand Hyatt Vail is a standout, offering extensive treatments and access to stunning riverside infinity pools that steam gently in the cold air—a magical experience after a day on the slopes. Dining options include Gessner, the signature restaurant serving elevated mountain cuisine, and the inviting Fireside Lounge for cocktails and casual bites beside a roaring fire.
For skiers and snowboarders, everything about this hotel screams convenience: a ski valet handles your gear, an on-site rental shop saves you the hassle of outside logistics, and the lift just steps away minimizes morning chaos. When the skiing’s done, relax in the pool, join the après crowd, or hop on the complimentary shuttle for a quick ride to Lionshead or Vail Village for dinner and nightlife.
Who should stay here

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.
