SCOUT REVIEW

The Lodge at Vail is the original gem of Vail Village—a property that helped shape the resort’s luxury ski scene since it first opened in 1962. Today, it continues to charm guests with its unbeatable location steps from Gondola One and a blend of old-world alpine character and modern comfort.

Inside, the décor channels classic mountain lodge style—think stone fireplaces, wood beams, and warm tones. While the public spaces exude rustic elegance, guest rooms and suites vary in décor depending on the building and renovation phase. Updated rooms feature fresh linens, sleek bathrooms, and cozy gas fireplaces, while some older ones maintain a vintage charm.

For skiers, convenience couldn’t be better. The ski valet team whisks away your gear at day’s end, and you can walk to the lift in your ski boots in under a minute. Off the slopes, unwind in one of two outdoor hot tubs overlooking the mountain, or treat yourself at the RockResorts Spa—one of Vail’s most established wellness spots.

Dining is a highlight. The Lodge’s Cucina restaurant serves hearty mountain breakfasts and après-ski cocktails around its inviting firepit, while other top Vail Village eateries are just steps away. Service is friendly and polished, with many long-term staff who add a personal touch to each stay.

Overall, The Lodge at Vail blends history, comfort, and ski-in ski-out luxury—ideal for those who appreciate authentic mountain character without sacrificing convenience.
