SCOUT REVIEW
Vail 21 offers the comfort and convenience of condominium-style living in one of Vail’s most desirable locations — Lionshead Village. Just a two-minute walk from the Eagle Bahn Gondola, this property gives guests easy access to the mountain without sacrificing the lively après-ski and dining scene Vail is known for.
Each condo at Vail 21 is individually owned and decorated, ranging from cozy one-bedroom units to spacious three-bedroom options ideal for families or groups. Most feature full kitchens, living rooms with fireplaces, and balconies overlooking either Vail Mountain or the pedestrian village below. While the furnishings vary, many have been tastefully updated with mountain-modern décor and contemporary amenities.
Guests will find the property simple but comfortable, with a relaxed, residential atmosphere rather than a full-service hotel vibe. There’s no restaurant or pool on-site, but the location more than makes up for it — steps away are ski shops, après-ski bars, and casual dining spots. There’s also ski storage available, and the free in-town bus makes exploring Vail Village quick and easy.
Vail 21’s standout feature is undoubtedly its proximity to the lifts — being so close to the Eagle Bahn Gondola means you can be on the slopes minutes after leaving your condo. For ski travelers who value convenience, space, and flexibility, this is an excellent choice.
Who should stay here
Perfect for families, couples, and groups seeking a comfortable, self-contained base close to the lifts and all the action of Lionshead Village.
Location
Vail 21 sits in the heart of Lionshead Village, just 100 yards from the Eagle Bahn Gondola and Born Free Express Lift. Guests can easily walk to shops, restaurants, and après-ski venues.

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.
