The Hythe, a Luxury Collection Resort, Vail

I stayed here last year in May during mud season. I loved it then, and decided to bring hubby along this time. Still love it. Both times the rooms were fantastic, yet completely different! The gym and whirlpool are perfect for a little exercise or too ease your muscles after some good times outside. The bike trail is just a few feet away and goes on and on. Downtown Vail and Lionshead are a quick bike ride away or a shorter walk. The Breakfast Buffet is amazing! Definitely luxurious! This time around a couple of the staff members were a little crabbier, but with 3 weddings going on, I'm sure they had a lot to deal with. Maybe just help them get a breath now and then.

We moved to two different rooms. Neither got below 72 degrees at night. Very uncomfortable. No acknowledgment from the hotel. Very unlike this brand. And very disappointing.

We visited Vail for Independence Day and had an excellent stay at The Hythe! Excellent customer service from the front desk, valets, and concierge teams! They were all very approachable and helpful. Special shoutout to the daytime valets as they were great and provided some useful recommendations. We had a slight issue after changing our stay dates due to corporate Marriott reservation person but Julia got it all straightened out for us in very short amount of time. We had two Mountain View rooms with balconies on the 4th floor and they were great. Spacious, quiet, cool, and in great condition. They were also nicely appointed with real glasses to utilize for our wine and bourbon. Location is very good, right in Lionshead Village, and just s short tram ride to Vail Village. Easily accessible by vehicle also. Pool was nice and we enjoyed the firepits one evening. Bartenders at the Revel Lounge were great as we stopped in there one afternoon for a couple of drinks. Got coffee’s and breakfast two days at the Mountain Ration Grab and Go and all good there also. We also got in on the limited rooftop 4th of July dinner and the food, entertainment, and the view of the fireworks were all great! We will stay here again if ever go back to Vail and highly recommend!!

The Hythe is a wonderful social hotel. We stayed here only one night and really enjoyed the lobby as well as the hotel bar in the evening. The location is great as it’s away from the noise but close to the action if that’s desired. I would definitely stay here again, but the attention to detail is lacking to say the least. Our room was very nice, but the shower was noticeably dirty. Not dirty where I was grossed out, but for a high level hotel, it was dirty. When we arrived, we gave our bags to the bell hop. After receiving keys and handing the ticket to the front desk, we went to our room expecting to have our bags within 10 minutes or so. Waited 30 minutes and still didn’t have them, so we had to go back downstairs and get the bags. No big deal at all, but for a full service hotel, it definitely was a little disappointing. I would definitely stay here again, but with a few added improvements, it could be even better.

This was our fourth visit to The Hythe, and overall, it was another enjoyable stay with a few standout moments — and a few areas for improvement. We arrived on Saturday around 7 PM and were warmly welcomed by Simon, who made the check-in process smooth and easy. For the first time, we shipped our skis ahead of our arrival, and they were delivered two days early. Huge thanks to the concierge, Chris, who was incredibly helpful before we even arrived — she accepted the skis, booked dinner reservations, and arranged a private car to take my daughter back to Denver. Outstanding service. Although I'm a Titanium Elite member, we were initially assigned two rooms that did not face the mountain. We raised this with the staff and were told the rooms would be changed later in the week, which they thankfully followed through on. The rooms themselves were comfortable — the beds were excellent, and the showers had great water pressure and stayed hot, just as you'd hope after a day on the slopes. Breakfast each morning was a highlight. The made-to-order eggs station ran smoothly, and the waitstaff were attentive and friendly. As in previous years, I must give a shout-out to Anna — she's beloved by everyone and continues to provide fantastic service. However, the hostess at the breakfast entrance seemed visibly stressed and unwelcoming every morning. She may benefit from additional support during peak hours. The ski valet is one of the best parts of the experience — not having to carry skis to the gondola and back is a huge plus. Both the ski and car valet teams do an outstanding job. There were a few disappointments. The hot tub was in poor condition — the jets weren't working, making it feel more like a lukewarm pool, and the surrounding area had mold, loose plastic nails, and general debris. It definitely needs an upgrade. My wife enjoyed the spa, though it's on the pricier side. One thing to note: they automatically add a 22% gratuity without any prior discussion, which seems excessive. When we booked, we were told she could bring a guest for the "day spa" experience at no charge, but when our 16-year-old daughter joined her, we were charged an additional $61 (including the automatic tip). That felt misleading. Check-out was a breeze — thank you to Dustin, the general manager, for ensuring things went smoothly. However, we later noticed we were charged valet fees for two rooms even though we only had one car. We're still in the process of resolving this, which hasn’t been easy.
