The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch
Mountain luxury with genuine alpine character — rustic materials meet Ritz service levels. Families with kids are fully catered to, skiers are in heaven, and the spa crowd can happily never touch a ski boot.
The resort fee covers daily guided hikes, fitness classes, pool and spa facility access, and evening s'mores at the fire pit — ask at check-in exactly what's included
Why It Matters
One of very few true ski-in/ski-out luxury resort hotels in North America, sitting directly on Beaver Creek Mountain with 2,082 acres of terrain accessible from the front door. The 21,000-sq-ft spa, seven dining outlets, and year-round programming make it a proper destination resort — not just a ski base camp.
Perched at 8,100 feet on Beaver Creek Mountain in Colorado's Vail Valley, The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch is a true ski-in/ski-out resort — you step out the door and onto the mountain. The timber-and-stone exterior channels national park lodge energy, while interior design by Mexico City-based Simon Hamui keeps things warmer and more contemporary than classic Ritz stuffiness. Think stone fireplaces, wood-beam ceilings, and a three-story Great Room fireplace anchoring the whole place.
