SCOUT REVIEW
The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch is the definition of luxury meets mountain adventure. Nestled mid-mountain on Beaver Creek, it feels like a secluded alpine retreat yet offers immediate ski-in, ski-out access to some of Colorado’s best terrain. This grand log-and-stone lodge oozes rustic elegance—think towering fireplaces, rich leather armchairs, and a welcoming après-ski buzz that’s both sophisticated and relaxed.
The atmosphere is upscale but unpretentious, attracting a mix of discerning ski travelers, families, and couples seeking comfort and convenience. The rooms and suites continue the lodge aesthetic, featuring cozy mountain décor, gas fireplaces, marble bathrooms, and views of the slopes or surrounding forest. Some suites even include balconies perfect for morning coffee in the crisp mountain air.
Dining options are outstanding, with WYLD offering refined Colorado cuisine and Buffalos providing a more casual après setting. Guests love gathering around the outdoor fire pits with craft cocktails or s’mores in hand, watching skiers finish their last runs of the day.
For post-ski relaxation, the spa at The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch is one of the most impressive in the Rockies, with its signature rock-lined grotto hot tub and an extensive menu of treatments. Families will appreciate the ski concierge service that handles equipment and storage, while adults can enjoy the slopeside champagne bar or a quiet moment in the spa’s relaxation areas.
This property blends the grandeur of a luxury resort with the soul of a mountain lodge—ideal for travelers who want both adventure and indulgence.
