SCOUT REVIEW

The Lion, Vail brings together the comfort of private mountain residences with the polish of a luxury hotel, making it one of Vail’s standout properties for discerning ski travelers. Its sleek, contemporary mountain design blends stone, wood, and warm neutral tones, creating a calm retreat after a big day on the slopes.

Accommodations range from spacious one-bedroom units to multi-bedroom residences, all featuring full gourmet kitchens, gas fireplaces, washer/dryers, and large living areas—perfect for families or groups of friends looking for a home-like stay in Vail. Most units also have private balconies, and many boast views of Vail Mountain or the surrounding Gore Range.

Amenities are top-tier. The Lion features a beautiful indoor pool, two hot tubs (one indoor, one outdoor), a fitness center, and a steam room—ideal for unwinding after skiing. The ski valet and storage area make hitting the slopes easy, while the friendly concierge team can help arrange everything from lessons to dinner reservations.

Though not directly ski-in/ski-out, The Lion’s location in Lionshead Village puts guests close to the action. It’s just a short walk or complimentary shuttle ride to the Eagle Bahn Gondola, with quick access to Vail Mountain’s incredible terrain. After skiing, Lionshead offers a great selection of restaurants, bars, and shops just minutes away.
