SCOUT REVIEW
Nestled at the foot of Vail Mountain in Lionshead Village, The Hythe delivers a rare mix of refined mid-century alpine flair and contemporary luxury. The lobby—with quilted deer antler wall art, a modern fireplace, and a speakeasy bar hidden behind sliding barn doors—sets a social yet cozy tone from the moment you arrive.
The hotel offers roughly 344 rooms, including deluxe studios, suites, and multi-bedroom residences. Many feature personal fireplaces, balconies, treated-leather headboards, jetted tubs, and curated amenities like Le Chemin by Byredo bath products and Frette robes. Larger rooms are ideal for families and couple seeking more space, with terrace and firepit options that are perfect for the post-ski wine. The larger penthouses boast exceptional amenties including full kitchen, fireplaces and sweeping mountain views from the lounge.
Après-ski highlights at The Hythe include four on-site dining venues. Grab a morning espresso at Mountain Ration, linger over cocktails at Revel Lounge, or enjoy a farm-to-table dinner at Margie’s Haas featuring Colorado ingredients like grilled venison and bison poutine.
Wellness is also next-level at The Hythe: the Well & Being Spa includes Vail’s only Himalayan Salt Lounge, a recovery zone with compression therapy and massage guns, and outdoor hot tubs with mountain views. A high-end fitness center offers cable machines, free weights, cardio and Peloton bikes - in case your ski workout is not quite enough!
In terms of ski logistics, these are seamless. The Hythe offers ski valet at the base of the mountain, boot cleaning and storage, direct gondola access within a few-minute walk, and a complimentary shuttle that serves Vail Village and surrounds. Ski down at the end of the daya, drop your skis with the valet and off you go!
The Hythe is a fantastic choice for those seeking a more elegant ski stay in Vail, with superb on-site amenities and seamless ski access.

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.
