My second stay at this resort again featuring outstanding service everywhere by happy men and women. Love this resort. Recommend getting high altitude adjustment massage in spa (try Sara) -it really speeds up acclimation. CLEAN, spacious room was kept that way by usual twice daily Four Seasons service. Gas fireplace and soaking tub were so welcome on snowy days and post skiing. Arriving unprepared to ski and thanks to assistance of Jody (one of Spa managers--other, Marcella, is also helpful) who introduced me to Ski Concierge I was able to get equipped to ski. Kaitlyn and the guys all took excellent care of me and exhibited friendliness and unending patience. If you've never used this service, do so. On my next visit with my own equipment, I plan to do so. Breakfasts and nightly visits to the Lounge (try lobster tacos and elk corn dogs) never disappointed. And on the mountain, don't miss The 10th at Mid Vail.

Last night I had a lovely overnight night stay at this Four Seasons, then spent this morning lounging in bed, reading and drinking espresso from the little machine in the room. When I took my shower this morning I noticed 5 red, itchy bumps on my hip, back and leg. They look and feel just like mosquito bites, but it's December and very cold in Vail. Bedbugs seem to be the obvious explanation. I can't imagine what else might have bitten me there- four of the bites were in an area covered by my underpants. I didn't see any bugs, but I didn't look too hard, just left the room and checked out. I told the guy at the front desk when I checked out and he said they'd check the room. So, beware! I'm glad I didn't stay more than one night!

We just got back from a long weekend to Vail, and stayed in this beautiful hotel with our two little ones, ages 4 and 6. From check-in on, the experience was just lovely. The hotel itself is gorgeous. Despite its large size, it feels intimate and cozy, with many seating nooks centered around massive stone fireplaces. The room was very spacious, with a fireplace, a large walk-in closet and a huge bathroom with an enormous soaking tub, a separate shower and toilet. We spent a lot of time with the kids in the heated saltwater pool and hot tubs, which were so warm steam poured off them and it was pleasant to swim even with snow on the ground. A nearby cabinet held heated towels and robes. Maybe the best part was the service, though. Everybody was incredibly friendly and helpful. They knew our kids' names as we arrived, offered genuinely helpful ideas for activities, set up a great babysitter for us, took care of our skis and shuttled us around (to meals, to the ski slopes) in the hotel's fleet of SUVs. Our daughter's birthday was around the corner, and they left a cupcake in our room with her name written in chocolate on the plate, which delighted her. At every turn, we felt welcomed and like the hotel had thought of every way to make the stay easy and fun. We are coming back next year, and can't wait.

This hotel is amazing, but borders on not being worth the cost. $40/day parking. $30/day resort fee. $480-1000+ rooms. It's a fantastic place with exceptional food, location, and service. Just be ready to pay for it. One of the most beautifully decorated properties I've ever been in, and easy walk to everything in Vail.
