Four Seasons Resort Vail

The 121-room Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail guards the gateway to Vail Village at the foot of more than 5,289 acres of skiable terrain. Groups of 8 to 300 participants can tend to business in 8,510 square feet of meeting space and be back on the slopes within minutes thanks to a heated footpath and Four Seasons valets at the Vista Bahn chairlift.

For some, the après-ski lifestyle begins in the steaming pool or whirlpools, followed, perhaps, by hot cider or cocoa at the pool bar or lobby lounge. Other options include visits to the spa, fitness center, or Flame, the resort's signature steak house. Warm weather brings a summer menu to the pool and a coffee shop complete with takeout to accompany activities like Rocky Mountain biking, fly-fishing, and golf.
