Hotels near Ski & Snowboard School at Beaver Creek, Beaver Creek

The Ritz in Avon is definitely a Colorado classic worth seeing . This was our second time visiting this magnificent property . It is situated in the mountains with spectacular views . The staff is excellent and very friendly . The property is well kept. The lobby is an example of what a Colorado living room would look like - cozy , rustic and chic . You can literally walk out of the outside area and hike straight up the mountain . Bring water and a rain poncho for our normal Colorado weather . We live in Denver, so it is a quick trip for us . The gym is awesome and spa is beautiful. My gym rat of a husband said that it was one of the best hotel gyms - and he travels all over the world . Areas for improvement: 1) more lunch menu options -healthier foods 2) breakfast buffet could use a little expanding - more salads and protein shakes 3) Better hiking maps Overall a lovely get away

SO... My purpose of being there was to be close to where I was having surgery (in Vail). I was so looking forward to being in a luxurious hotel where I could enjoy the views and have a nurturing place to return to post surgery to start healing and doing Physical therapy. I was told that it was ”15 minutes to Vail and my clinic” - which was not the most comfortable way to get there - in a shuttle bus with many steps and cramped seating. Our room (I travelled with one of my dearest lifelong friends who also was my caregiver) was nice enough -one bedroom suite. It had 1 bathroom we shared - again that was OK. However, the room was the furthest (distance wise) room from the front of the hotel ! There would have been no way that I could have walked post surgery the distance. Also while we were there the elevators were down and only 1 was working. Between the large dogs running around and mothers with double-wide strollers - there was absolute craziness ! My special diet was not handled properly - instead of a ”Cauliflower steak” they served me STEAK with cauliflower. I basically could not eat for 2 days - not good for pre surgery. (they had heads up too!). That was pretty much the last straw - sealed by getting slammed in the foot by an aggressive mom who said as she got into the elevator ” I am coming in no matter what - room or not!” At that point, I had to get another hotel and move to a much better match for the remainder of my trip. I could not take a chance of someone running into me post joint replacement !!! Seems to be the place to be with your large dogs and children - not for a calm environment. Anyway, that was my experience. Hope y'all have a better time!

Booked this hotel for skiing, it's pretty good, the room is big, with a kitchen, you can cook, because the hotel basically doesn't have breakfast. You can park in the basement, otherwise like me, you have to dig snow for half an hour the next day. The other thing is that the hot spring on the top floor is great, you can see the beautiful snow-capped mountains

Close to the snow field, it is very suitable for the snow season, easy to go to the snow field.
