Four Seasons Vail
The Four Seasons at
Vail Colorado is a 5-star hotel, providing luxurious accommodation and impeccable service. This Vail hotel is very modern and the design of the resort has been very well considered.
Where is the Four Seasons Located?
The hotel is located at the world famous
Vail ski resort at the gateway to Vail Village (One Vail Road, Vail Colorado). The hotel is a 7-10 minute walk to the main Vail Village lift (the Gondola One). It’s possible to get a shuttle between the hotel and the slopes, but it’s probably not necessary because it’s a very easy walk. You don’t have to walk in your ski boots or carry your equipment. This is all stored at the fantastic slopeside ski concierge (see below).
The shops, restaurants and bars of Vail Village are a 2-10 minute walk away, whilst the Lionshead Village is a 10 minute walk from the hotel. If your legs are weary from too much skiing or snowboarding, regular shuttle buses connect the hotel very well with both Vail Village and Lionshead.
Hotel Rooms
The Four Seasons Resort Vail offers luxurious and modern guest rooms with a view of the garden, the village or the mountain. These rooms provide occupancy for two to four guests and are equipped with either a gorgeous King size bed or two double beds.
As an example, the Deluxe Mountain View rooms are equipped with a stone gas fireplace, a furnished terrace, a very spacious walk-in closet, an oversized leather chair and an ottoman, a desk, an oversized bathroom with a separate bath tub, a flat-screen TV and DVD player, wireless internet, safe and refrigerator.
The hotel also has a range of magnificent suites that provide occupancy for 3 to 4 guests, and the Gore Suite can be connected with other deluxe rooms to form a four to five bedroom suite.

The Four Seasons has an amazing ski concierge service which is located in a separate building near the base of the Gondola One. The bell staff will transport your boots, skis or snowboard to the ski concierge building for overnight storage. There are lockers that are equipped with boot dryers, and you can also store your helmet and goggles. Grooming and weather reports are available as well as complimentary hot cocoa, coffee, muffins, and après cookies. The concierge can arrange for your skis or snowboard to be waxed and tuned, and the building incorporates a small Gorsuch retail ski shop if you want to purchase gloves, a helmet or ski clothing.
If you need to rent equipment, you can be fitted for boots and skis at the Gorsuch outlet on site at the hotel. This information is transferred to the ski concierge building so your equipment will be ready for you in the morning.
Children are well catered for at the Four Seasons. In addition to the games room and play area, babysitting services can be arranged, and assistance can be provided to childproof the hotel rooms. Guests can borrow highchairs, playpens, strollers and baby joggers, and the hotel can provide emergency supplies of diapers, formula, bottles and bottle warmers.
Dining and Bar
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the Flame Restaurant, a smart and chic space that overlooks the pool area and the mountains. The Four Seasons have managed to snaffle executive chef Jason Harrison who has developed a very creative and innovative menu. Dinner is a marvellous affair at Flame. The gorgeous mountain dishes, some with an Asian influence, are certain to satisfy even the most fastidious tastebuds. One read of the menu and your mouth will be watering!
The Fireside Lounge is open from 3pm for après ski cocktails and dining. This is a sedate bar where you can lounge in one of the leather chairs or stand around the fireplaces.
The hotel offers 24 hour in-room dining, and there is a small coffee shop. During summer the pool bar also serves up meals in a casual environment.
