Vail

More than 150 lodging options provide for all tastes and budgets including hotels, bed and breakfast inns, homes, and condominiums. There are also a number of quaint villages and towns nestled in the Vail Valley, where you can find the perfect place to stay with exactly what you are looking for.

The Arrabelle at Vail Square (36 luxury rooms, 50 condominiums) is now open at the foot of the gondola in Lionshead, and it is magnificent.
