    Loved The Highline! They upgraded us to the double King 2floor suite for a discounted rate when we checked in..super clean, loved the lobby- very pretty! So convenient to rent skis at their shop for a discounted rate! Cory was so helpful with it and super pleasant! Hot tub and pool were amazing after a day of skiing! The shuttle was good to use but one time they never came to pick us up in Vail when we had called.. I have to give a shout out to the front desk for finding my purse that i forgot in the lobby and making sure it was put away until I realized i didn't have it! 5stars to them!! The warm cookies every day were a nice touch also- We definitely will return!

    I absolutely loved this hotel. It is in a pretty decent location, although not right up against the slopes. I didn't ski so I didn't care. The service was spectacular by the staff at the hotel & the bar area. The restaurant was not great service, in fact so poor, we got up and left. The food did look good, but I was over the attitudes. The hotel rooms were nice & clean. For a pet hotel, I was actually shocked at how clean the rooms were without an awful fragrance to cover it up. The o my complain I have about the hotel itself is that the restaurant that is attached does smell up the entire lodge area. Overall, it was a great stay, and I would stay here again.

    When you go you a hotel that had the name Hilton in it, you may set unrealistic expectations. You think of a luxurious place where Paris Hilton wouldn't mind spending a few days at while being pampered. Well, if that is your expectation, I am sorry to disappoint you. But when your expectations become more down to earth, then you realize that this is a pretty good place. To start with, the professionalism and the cordial attitude of the entire staff was superb, from the receptionist, to the bartender, to the shuttle driver, to everyone I came in contact with. Everyone was friendly and ready to help. The ski rental shop in the hotel gave 30% discount to those who stayed in the hotel. As for amenities, everyone's favorite activity in the hotel seemed to be the heated outside pool, next to the jacuzzi and the fire place. So please don't forget you bathing suit when you go skiing. The free shuttle wad extremely convenient, along with the storage for the ski equipment. No, you probably won't run into celebrities there (except for me, of course), but you will have a comfortable ski trip.

    So incredibly comforting!!

    My wife and I and our moms absolutely love this place so much! Best hotel we stayed in so far! The best thing about this place is the hot tub and the big fire pit when it's 17 degrees outside!!!!! I definitely recommend this place!!!!

    The flowers that we left for the front desk!

    This hotel is simply sublime! From the moment we checked in with Leslie to the amazing food at the restaurant with Rolando we were taken aback. As a diamond member with Hilton, I am often left feeling somewhat undervalued at many properties but here I felt like we were treated like royalty. The length that Leslie and Vitali at the front desk and Rolando in the restaurant and all of the staff that we interacted with went to make our Anniversary stay magical were next to none. I can't say enough good things about this experience and this property! I had contacted the property ahead of time as I had arranged with a local florist to have flowers waiting for my significant other and we left them at the front desk as a gift to Leslie and the whole staff and hotel and that is the picture attached! We will definitely be back and encourage others to visit as well! I highly highly highly recommend booking one of their beautiful loft suites as the fireplace and the balcony and the whole space are so inviting and feel like a home away from home. Also, the outdoor Jacuzzi is not to be missed, especially on a beautiful snowy night!

    I want this fire place in my living room.

    07.13-15 Wanted a hotel outside of the village. Double tree was just 8 min away from both Vail Village and Lions Head. Clean room, impressive lobby, storage area for winter gears is a plus. Ordered food at the bar on our first night. I highly recommend the roasted Brussels sprouts and spare ribs Mac n cheese. There is a pool (I don't think it's heated) a massive hot tub, and plenty of lounging chairs around the pool and fire pit. So pretty on a cool night. It had free parking, has a locally owned restaurant connected to the hotel. Mc Donald's (only fast food chain in all of Vail) is right next door. A grocery store and other restaurants are also walking distance from double tree. Two shuttles are available to take you to and back Lions Head and the Village. When ready to go back just text the hotel and a shuttle will come get you within 8-10 min. Rides are free so don't forget to tip. Get recs from the drivers for places to check out, you won't be disappointed.

    Chilling area outside!

    My positive experience with Highline started while on the way to the hotel. My dad had a severe panic attack driving through the mountain in the snow. This was around 1 PM and our check in time was not until 4- we were about 30 minutes out. I called the hotel to ask if we'd be able to check in as soon as we arrived given the condition my dad was in. Without hesitation the staff member on the phone (I don't remember her name, unfortunately) told us to come on in and she would make sure we are taken care of. I appreciated this so much as I have never been able to check in earlier than the stated arrival time to any hotel I have ever stayed at. Upon our arrival my dad was thankfully doing a lot better. We were all impressed with the ambiance of the hotel and how well it was decorated and put together. After we checked in, we were given warm cookies! What a nice treat after traveling by plane and then a long drive. We stayed in the 2 King Residential Loft. The downstairs was was equipped with a full kitchen that included a dishwasher, pull out sofa, balcony, half bathroom, 2 barstools. Upstairs had a pullout sofa, sink, separate room for toilet and shower, 2 king beds, long table and TV. It also had a double door closet where extra blankets and pillows were stored. The view from the balcony was nice. We had a view of the pool and mountain side. My only negative experience with the room was that as soon as you walked in, there was a very musty smell kinda like old curtains from the 70s that was never washed. The hotel itself was beautiful. It had a full gym (see photos with equipment), small shop that sold hats, beanies, sweaters, backpacks, snowboard and ski rentals, spa with massage, restaurant, pool table, shuffle board, 2 computers, bar, fireplace and plenty of comfortable seating. On the property outside, there was a pool, which I believe is heated, hot tub, gazebo with extra seating, corn hole, and a fire pit. The hotel does provide shuttle service to Vail Village so that was really convenient. Tip the driver, Dave, he's super nice and likes to talk to hotel guests! The hotel is located next to a Safeway, McDonald's and a few other restaurants. We were highly impressed with the hotel and the service. I honestly wished we stayed a few more days, but we had plans to see other cities in Colorado. Definitely recommend!

    See all

    Hello! It is our first time visiting this hotel. I'm curious to know what the name of the restaurant is inside the hotel. Our son has many food allergies and Id like to review their menu prior? Please and thank you!

    The primary attached restaurant is the Westside Cafe. Additionally, the bar in the lobby, Pivot62, serves some food.

We did a family trip up to the mountains for a couple of days and on our way back home, we stopped by the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens because I knew my mother in-law loved flowers and I thought she would enjoy it here. We parked in the parking lot next to the big open field. Unfortunately there was an event that day and we had to pay I think $10 (can't remember the exact amount). I guess it evened out since the garden is free? Anywho, the garden was a short walk from the parking lot. It's named after the former first lady who preferred Vail as their vacation spot and helped the community flourish to what it is today. There's signage throughout the garden to read about Betty Ford, the plants, and wild life. It's a small garden, but there are plants from all over the world and we enjoyed strolling through the various paths. My mother in-law enjoyed it as well, so mission accomplished! If you're in the area and love plants and flowers, it's worth a quick stop, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

    With this year's ski season rapidly approaching, and my upcoming winter trip to Utah finally…read morebooked, I thought it'd be worthwhile to reflect on my past few excellent years at Vail with some tips: 1 - If you do nothing else for the rest of your life, SKI THE BACK BOWLS (maps here: http://www.vail.com/mountain/explore-mountain/mountain-trail-map.aspx). Don't ever leave...Seriously! Vail's whole claim "like nothing on earth" comes to life once you've skied here. Blue Sky Basin is pretty badass too if you're looking for untouched powder, tree skiing, and plenty of rocks/cliffs to jump off. These areas are what distinguish Vail from almost every other ski resort in the U.S. (European skiing above the tree line is very similar in experience to Vail's back bowls). Both areas are also much quieter than the front side, which has a tendency to always crowd up by the lodge area...this brings me to #2... 2 - If you must ski the front side of Vail, get as high up as you can, and take small runs down (ie. from the summit to Mid-Vail). Rinse and repeat, and you'll stay away from the sometimes overwhelming base-area crowds. 3 - If you're not staying in Vail or Lionshead Villages, hang out there for a round after the ski day. Vail is known for their apres ski scene, and you'll see why once you get out of your skis and boots after your last run. There are a plethora of restaurants and bars, many with live music and drink specials. Certainly, you can probably get cheaper food/drink if you're willing to drive out of the village, but the scene and people alone make everything worth it. 4 - Regardless of where you're staying, utilize the free in-town shuttle buses. Vail Village is typically more expensive than Lionshead, so we end up staying in Lionshead (same proximity to the slopes, walking distance to both Born Free and Eagle Bahn gondolas). You're already spending $120+ a day on skiing and even more on food and drink, so if you're looking to shave cost without really sacrificing much, this is the way to do so.

I am proud to say that because of vail I can now snowboard with ease. If you are debating between what mountains to board when in Colorado, I would say vail is a perfect option. The mountain runs are a good 30 to 45 minutes. The lifts up the main mountains are called gondolas and they are insulated and warm. Once you hit the main slopes in order to get to the top upper slopes you need to take the regular lifts. The regular lifts are cold, as expected. Lift tickets are about 160$ per a person for a whole day pay. It's $80 per a person for half a day. The vail village makes this a must. It's a quaint town with loads of shopping, dinning and ski/ boarding related stuff. As a boarder, I do have to mention that this mountain is way more skier friendly than boarder friendly. But overall, it's a great place to board.

    Spring skiing this year in Vail was so warm that our ski time was limited to just the morning so…read moreaprès ski started much earlier than usual. I decided to make a long past due visit to Archetype to check out their distilled spirits. In addition to their vodka and gin, they make a long list of small batch distilled spirits of various flavors. When you walk in there are a few high top tables and a long bar. My recommendation is to sit at the bar and chat with the bartenders. They are knowledgeable and will craft a cocktail based on what your favorite flavor profile is. As my friend C says, "if it's muddled N will drink it!" She's not wrong. She speaks the truth. I told the bartender that a cocktail with either the blackberry or strawberry spirits would be a great start. He mixed strawberry with their mint spirit, added soda, and ice in a tall glass. It was really refreshing. Because they have so many different flavored spirits they can craft almost anything. If you like a dirty martini, they have blue cheese and olive flavored spirits. I tasted the blue cheese spirit separately and it was hmmm...interesting by itself but mixed with the olive spirit and "ta-da!" - you've got your dirty martini. Their vodka and wine are made from wine grapes. I didn't get a chance to try either the vodka or gin this time but will definitely be back on my next ski trip to Vail. The distillery is located just a few doors down from Mountain Standard near the bridge over Gore Creek.

We visited their Vail tasting room for a cocktail class -- an activity I highly recommend.  Not only was the class a lot of fun, but it was also a great value.  It included a sampling flight, three cocktails & an hour of entertainment.  Michael is clearly passionate about the spirits he makes & the drinks they craft.  Whether you're a foodie or somebody who just loves a great cocktail, you'll enjoy the class. What I found particularly unique about Archetype's tasting room is their wide offering of house-made distillates/spirits.  They don't need a back bar full of brands that you see everywhere.  Instead, they're able to craft a custom cocktail based on the flavors you enjoy.  From familiar flavors like espresso or citrus to unique ones like blue cheese & truffles, you have the opportunity to find your own signature drink.  I tried several unique combinations & all were delicious!   In short -- from somebody who's been to a lot of distilleries -- make the time to check out Archetype.  The atmosphere was fantastic.  The drinks were delicious.  Their spirits win awards for a reason. You're sure to have a unique experience.
