A polished, design-forward resort in Lionshead Village offering elevated alpine style, a full-service spa, and easy access to the Eagle Bahn Gondola—ideal for both ski season and summer mountain escapes.
Why We Chose It
Set in Lionshead Village just steps from the Eagle Bahn Gondola, The Hythe is a reimagined luxury mountain resort that combines modern alpine design with a full-service, year-round experience. Originally the Vail Marriott Mountain Resort, the property underwent a major transformation into part of the Luxury Collection, bringing a more refined aesthetic and elevated amenities while retaining its prime location at the base of Vail Mountain. The hotel offers ski-in/ski-out-style convenience with ski valet, rentals, and a free ski shuttle, making it an efficient and comfortable base for winter sports. In warmer months, it transitions seamlessly into a hub for hiking, biking, and outdoor adventure. Interiors are warm and contemporary, with natural materials and subtle alpine influences. Rooms often feature fireplaces, mountain views, and spacious layouts designed for both relaxation and functionality. The Hythe distinguishes itself with a strong amenity offering: a full-service spa, outdoor heated pool and hot tubs, multiple dining venues, and curated programming ranging from après-style gatherings to wellness experiences. Positioned slightly quieter than Vail Village but still highly walkable, it delivers a balance of accessibility, value, and upscale atmosphere—making it one of the most well-rounded resort options in Vail.
