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.

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.
