For my 1000th review, I'll review where I spend most of my winter weekends-Beaver Creek. It appears…read morethis business listing is a mixture of reviews for the corporation, Vail Ski Resort, and Beaver Creek. (FYI people, the corporation is in Broomfield CO and Vail Ski Resort is in, you know, Vail.) Anyhoo, my family and I have made great memories skiing at Beaver Creek. The ski lessons have been great, especially BEAVO for my kid. The walking pathways have always been free of snow, the people who volunteer or work here have always been friendly. Even in tough conditions, it has been a good time. The surrounding businesses gave the place a small town feel. Good options, but not overwhelming. Parking in a garage can be expensive but they had a good options with the $10 Bear Lot and Elk Lot. Close to I-70 freeway so we haven't had to drive miles on snowpacked roads. Beaver Creek has been worth the extra drive.

We also learned that these passes are good during the summer which I had never known previously. So we took the gondola up the mountain and hiked the meadow loop which was a pleasant two mile easy/leisurely hike. The hike was very enjoyable we may have seen a total of 5 people the entire time. And we encountered some gorgeous scenery from high alpine meadows with tons of alpine wildflowers, stunning views of the mountains, and the trail meandered through the forest. The air was crisp and refreshing and I enjoyed the beautiful chirps of the mountain song birds as well as the lovely sounds of the crickets. This hike really made my day! This hike was a nice reset!! I highly recommend it!!

All of our guests stayed here and everyone raved about the quality of accommodation, the attentiveness of service, superb amenities, exceptional on-premise dining, and the delight of ski-in / ski-out at a world-class mountain. The rooms here are very well appointed and the staff ensures that every possible need is attended to. From the crew at the valet station, the concierge desk (who host daily après ski hot chocolate and fresh-baked cookie parties!), the housekeeping team, the ski valets, the spa attendants, and all of the wonderful F&B folks, the service here is impeccable. The hotel amenities include an elegant spa, well-equipped gym, pilates and yoga studios, heated salt water pool, and three infinity hot tubs that are perfect for après ski soaking. Of particular note, the Westin has updated its Ski Valet shop which offers faultless service for those availing themselves of the Beaver Creek Ski resort. The valets bring your skis to the Gondola which is right outside the door! The lobby bar, the Lookout Bar, and the Stoke and Rye served our guests with superbly crafted food and drink. It should be mentioned that Chef Richard Sandoval is leaving so Stoke & Rye is being repurposed into an Italian eatery under the guidance of a new Chef - we look forward to experiencing this new venue. We held an arrival dinner for our guests in a private space - the Osprey Room - and the food, drink, and ambiance were exceptional. The room was cozy yet spacious and created a warm, welcoming environment for our guests who traveled from all three coasts. We want to make particular mention of our hostess, Sonja Eichenberger. Sonja managed every aspect of our affair, ensuring every dimension of a large party was attended to the last detail. Sonja listened to the Bride's comments and discerned solutions that were both creative and thoughtful. We had several dignitaries in our party - two Senators, a US Attorney, and a Fox News commentator - and Sonja saw to it that consideration was made for both their privacy and security. Much of the success of our special event rests with Sonja. The Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa at Avon is an exquisitely fashionable property but it is the staff that makes the experience special. Thank you Sonja for making our week at the Westin a lifelong memory!

As with any Ski Town hotel worth its salt, the Westin also has a variety of food and beverage options. All of which (with possibly the exception of the lobby bar) are excellent.

By the way, none of the rooms in this place have any air conditioning. It makes sense in Vail, CO because the weather is quite mild in the summer/fall season. This experience: The front desk staff is new and totally inexperienced and incapable of making simple decisions and exercising obvious discretion. The young lady that checked us in royally screwed up my reservation and room selection. I have a lifetime status with Marriott with a well-defined online loyalty profile with Marriott. Yet, instead of even bothering to look at my loyalty profile, she assigned me a room that was quite awful. When I came down, another person (Maria) took on the task of rectifying my sad experience. Luckily, Maria happened to be the Manager on duty. With a very calm head, she rectified the whole horrible mess and ultimately set me up with a very nice room for my wife and I. People such as Maria should be recognized for keeping a cool head, acting professional, and going the extra mile to prioritize customer satisfaction/experience as the ultimate goal in the hospitality business. You may not get Maria when you check-in. But if things go awry (which very well could - given my initial experience) always ask for Maria, the Manager. Will I stay here again? If there are more people there like Maria, yes, I would. Giving three (03) stars due to an hour of frustration and going back-and-forth at the front desk. Hoping next visit would be smoother and better so I can rate this place better.

Staying in the condos at Arrowhead means walking to the lift, which can't be beat!

St. James Place: Charming Beaver Creek…read more Construction and marketing time-shares in ski resorts has always required adroit thinking. The loquacious salesperson comprehends that winter inventory will virtually sell itself; however, several winter months of maintenance fees will not support the bottom line. This simple analysis has led to a market glut of time-shares in destination areas such as Orlando. Another factor is that the U.S. time-share market clientele is simply not attentive to the geography or demographics of The Rocky Mountains. Interval International categorizes every state from Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming as the "Rocky Mountains." These states may indeed share the Rockies, but these states have very ingenuous differences even for the client who is a skier. And specifically, there are market differences in Vail, Avon, and Beavercreek, Colorado. All three of these communities are grouped together on the Interval International website with no discussion of the vibrant differences that location provides. A client from the Midwest or East with an upscale property will unlikely be unhappy to learn that following several hours of flight and rental car drive that the family will be vacationing near I-70 or in a poorly located time-share. Beavercreek, Colorado is near Avon, Colorado, and the difference in ambience is equal to the vertical difference between the two villages. Several years ago, my wife and I viewed the construction of St. James Place in Beaver Creek; then we experienced a sales tour. The developers of St. James Place in Beaver Creek incorporated the aesthetics of a mountain property that blended in perfectly with the architecture of Beaver Creek. Zoning regulations are vital to a tony community such as Beaver Creek. The insouciant time-share owner may visit the Vail, Avon, and Beavercreek page at Interval International, and "discover" 16 properties. These properties are vastly different, and woe to the decision-maker who chooses poorly for his family. Beaver Creek has several very fine properties, and some research is necessary. Beaver Creek has become a true four-season resort village and is home to some very expensive second and permanent homes. The minute I saw St. James Place available, I traded for a summer week. St. James Place at 210 Offerson Road, P.O. Box 1512, Avon, CO 81620 970-845-9300 800-626-7100) is not in Avon; the property is in Beaver Creek. This property offers 1-4 bedrooms and bathrooms. The two photos on the website will provide only a glimpse of the appointments of this property. The website provides the following description: Located in the heart of the prestigious Beaver Creek Resort Village, St. James Place provides the ideal mountain vacation home. Shopping, dining, ice-skating, and the Vilar Performing Arts Center are outside your door. Both downhill and cross-country skiing are available, or you can visit the slopes at Vail nine miles away. In the summer, hiking, horseback riding, fly-fishing, golf, and a myriad of other activities are nearby. After a busy day, relax by the indoor pool, work out in the exercise room, or enjoy dinner at the restaurant on-site. Another website (http://beavercreek.snow.com/home/) provides the following: At the gate you leave the world behind. A luxury resort with the cozy feel of an Alpine village, Beaver Creek Resort is nestled at the foot of North America¹s World Cup Mountain. It is perhaps the very best of luxury family skiing, and has earned accolades of awards for its food, wine, and service. These websites are very accurate in an assessment of the lifestyle at Beaver Creek. We have enjoyed skiing at Beaver Creek as well as several summer holidays at this perfect mountain resort. Beaver Creek is a feast for the eyes, a delight for the senses. The influence of renowned resorts such as Switzerland's St. Moritz, Italy's Cortina, and Spain's Val d'Aran led to the creation of a unique mountain resort full of excitement and village luxury.... When George Townsend first settled in the valley in 1881, he knew he'd found something special- an exceptional mountain, lined with aspen groves and beautiful vistas that would become a world-renowned destination. In 1972, Vail continued his vision by purchasing the land and began designing a resort that combined western hospitality and European charm. Obstacles delayed resort completion, but on December 15, 1980, Beaver Creek finally opened to the public. Beaver Creek is a planned and fully developed residential community. Care has been taken to provide underground parking, and a true pedestrian village. Beaver Creek is charismatic, disarming, and enigmatic. The resort village is a delight to shop, to ski, to hike, or simply to appreciate the elegance of the mountains. Numerous restaurants (reservations) provide a variety of cuisine; however, if the tourist requires a supermarket, then a short drive to a different village is required.

The room, especially for the price and location was great.

During the pandemic I understand you have to temper your expectations but this hotel was crazy understaffed. Like one person at the front desk and one valet. That was it. We had to get our bags to and from the room. There apparently was a ski valet but the front desk gave us no clue how to locate it. They just didn't know. They didn't take our skis there. It was plain weird. The signs in the hotel say no skis in the rooms but we had no choice! No one could tell us where the ski valet was. It was located in a non descript door by Christy's. We found it on day two. Also, no one could tell us where the illustrious ski bridge was that supposedly makes the hotel ski in and ski out. We figured it out on our last day of skiing. I believe it is called the Creekside Trail or something. Note the hotel is only ski in. And you have take off your skis to cross a fairly busy road. There is no skiing out from the ski bridge. The room was bigger than usual so that was good. But if the staff can't provide basic information about the hotel, given how much Marriott charges for this hotel, I can't recommend. It's just ok. Might as well stay at the Best Western in Eagle for a fraction of the cost and drive in.
