SCOUT REVIEW
Lion Square Lodge in Vail is a long-standing favorite for travelers who want the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and authentic mountain charm. Sitting right at the base of Vail Mountain in Lionshead Village, it’s one of the few true ski-in/ski-out properties in the area. Step out of your room, click into your skis, and you’re practically at the Eagle Bahn Gondola—ready to start your day on the slopes.
Accommodations range from hotel-style rooms to spacious one-, two-, and three-bedroom condos, many featuring full kitchens, fireplaces, and balconies overlooking the mountains or the village. The individually owned units each have their own style—some modern and sleek, others cozy and rustic—but all are well-maintained and comfortable.
After a day on the mountain, guests can unwind in the outdoor heated pool or one of several hot tubs while taking in views of the slopes. The on-site El Sabor restaurant and bar adds a lively, convenient option for après-ski drinks or casual dining.
Lion Square Lodge also offers handy amenities like ski valet service, a fitness room, and a welcoming lobby lounge area. Families and groups love the space and convenience, while couples appreciate the slopeside romance and cozy atmosphere. It’s an easy walk or short shuttle ride into Vail Village for dining, shopping, and nightlife, making it an excellent all-around choice for Vail visitors.
Who should stay here
Skiers and snowboarders wanting slopeside convenience, families or groups needing multi-bedroom condos, and anyone who values comfort and easy access to both Vail’s lifts and nightlife.

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.
