A snow-covered town with a highway, mountains, and a sunset.

Vail Village

Vail Village wraps you in European-inspired charm with cobblestone streets where no cars dare to tread. Hop on Gondola One to access world-class skiing in winter or hiking trails in summer when the mountains turn impossibly green. The Betty Ford Alpine Gardens offer a peaceful escape while the Colorado Snowsports Museum tells tales of powder days past. Dining options range from cozy alpine bistros to fine restaurants serving game and local ingredients. Most visitors stay in luxury ski-in/ski-out hotels or upscale condos that put you steps from both the slopes and village core. The pedestrian-only design makes exploring on foot a breeze, with free shuttle buses connecting to parking areas.

The Eagle Bahn Gondola whisks you straight to world-class slopes and Adventure Ridge's year-round mountain playground. After hitting the powder, stroll cobblestone walkways lined with luxury boutiques or warm up beside outdoor fire pits with spectacular mountain views. Upscale dining options showcase Colorado lamb and elk paired with craft cocktails, while ski-in/ski-out condos and boutique hotels offer cozy fireplaces and mountain vistas. Getting around is hassle-free with complimentary shuttles to Vail Village every 15 minutes and heated walkways throughout the pedestrian-friendly resort area.

8/10 Good

"Great place for a family of 5. We had a few miner issues with the room but over all it was great stay. The breakfast place was awful. Messed up our order and two people came over and there was no apology from either staff. Not to mention food was terrible."

Sitzmark Vail

Sitzmark Vail

10/10 Excellent

"We've stayed at a few different places in Vail and this quickly became a favorite. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and we loved our room with a view of Gore Creek. The location is perfect, right in the middle of the village. The pool area was a good break spot. If I had to criticize anything their fitness area was small and didn't offer a lot, but it worked. We were also glad they had parking on site. It was tight but it beat trying to find parking elsewhere. We'll stay there again when we return to Vail."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Vail

Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Vail is during May, October, and November when hotel rates tend to be lower. For those looking to explore the town's key landmarks, historical sites, and cultural attractions, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended. This duration allows you to experience the scenic beauty of the mountains, enjoy hiking or biking adventures, and immerse yourself in the charming small-town atmosphere. Visiting during these months can provide great value for money for budget-conscious travelers, as prices may drop, making it a budget-friendly getaway.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To plan a trip to Vail, consider exploring the DealsOpens in a new window and Last-Minute DealsOpens in a new window sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates on accommodations as your travel date approaches. To enhance your experience, enable email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales and special promotions. Additionally, use Smart ShoppingOpens in a new window through the app, a helpful comparison tool that allows you to evaluate hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're more likely to find our best options. This way, you can make informed choices for your last-minute getaway.
Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on various factors like the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Being flexible with your travel dates may help you find better rates for your stay in a Vail hotel. If you're interested in unique accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalized experience and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price seems high, we may suggest alternative dates that could lead to more affordable options.
Consider your location: Hotels near the city center usually tend to be pricier, but thanks to Vail's outstanding public transportation options, you may find a more affordable independent hotel a bit farther out that remains well connected. If you're interested in discovering alternative, less crowded neighborhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, you can often find excellent value for your money. Opting for these alternative destinations might provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
