Austria Haus  

At the base of Vail Mountain in the heart of Vail, steps from the main ski lift and set inside pedestrian Vail Village between Gore Creek and Meadow Lane. Minutes from Vail Ski Resort, the Colorado Ski & Snowboard Museum, Cogswell Gallery and nearby lifts like Gopher Hill and Chaos Canyon — a boutique hotel ideal for ski trips and mountain escapes.

This 25-room, European-inspired boutique hotel pairs classic alpine charm with cozy comforts. Rooms are air-conditioned and feature DVD players, cable TV, bathrobes, safes and desks; the lobby’s fireplace and heritage 1960s vibe add warm, lodge-style character.

Soak in indoor and outdoor pools or unwind in the spa tub and sauna. Stay fit in the gym, book a massage, store skis or arrange ski transfers and lift passes. There’s concierge service, a library, parking, elevator access and a complimentary area shuttle — wake up to mountain mornings and step straight into the village.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property, 24-hour front desk service, plus dry cleaning/laundry and complimentary newspapers. Roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

An on-site restaurant and bar plus a poolside bar serve guests, and a complimentary continental breakfast is included. Perfect for grabbing coffee before the lifts or an après-ski drink by the fireplace.
