Marriott Vail Resort & Spa

Vail, Colorado

Virgin rating

The hotel

A fabulous mountain resort with excellent ski and spa facilities. European in style, the Vail Marriott exudes charm and personality. Everything’s in walking distance including the gondola to whisk you off to ski runs galore. The hotels Golden Leaf Spa offers a range of treatments – the perfect antidote to an action-packed day on the slopes! There is also fabulous dining in Vail but First Chair Cafe probably does the best buffet breakfast in town - the choice is extensive. Come sundown, Avalanche Pub is an après ski hot spot; soak up the atmosphere awhile before feasting on American fare over at the cosy, laid-back 7one5.

What a fabulous hotel! Our room was small but very nice with a balcony that overlooked one of the vail hills. The lobby is beautiful and they have a great outdoor area with two long large fire pits where everyday they have smores for anyone who wants to make one. We did not swim or use the spa services but they had a nice pool. We were very… Read more
What a fabulous hotel! Our room was small but very nice with a balcony that overlooked one of the vail hills. The lobby is beautiful and they have a great outdoor area with two long large fire pits where everyday they have smores for anyone who wants to make one. We did not swim or use the spa services but they had a nice pool. We were very impressed with the breakfast- a large assortment of fruits and berries, made to order eggs or omelettes, fresh squeezed orange juice and bacon available every day. We liked it so much we stayed an extra night. Read less

Wow, is all I have to say. My experience with the hotel, and Justin Varnadore at the front desk in particular, was nothing short of spectacular. I called because I wanted to send a bottle of wine to a loved one staying at the hotel.

Wow, is all I have to say. My experience with the hotel, and Justin Varnadore at the front desk in particular, was nothing short of spectacular. I called because I wanted to send a bottle of wine to a loved one staying at the hotel. Beyond just being kind throughout the entire entire call, when I tried to pay for the wine, Justin refused payment and added that he would be sending chocolate covered strawberries as well. My family staying there is in good hands! Read less

We had a fantastic time at the Htyhe. It is one of my favorite hotels that I have ever stayed at. The room was gorgeous and big. We had a long bed, a sitting area with a fireplace and a big bathroom. We had beautiful views of the mountains. I loved the robes and slippers, the Italian coffee maker, and sitting by the fireplace in the morning. … Read more
We had a fantastic time at the Htyhe. It is one of my favorite hotels that I have ever stayed at. The room was gorgeous and big. We had a long bed, a sitting area with a fireplace and a big bathroom. We had beautiful views of the mountains. I loved the robes and slippers, the Italian coffee maker, and sitting by the fireplace in the morning. All of the staff we interacted with were very helpful and friendly. The valets were so quick to get our car and I like the convenience and ease of the shuttles to dinner. We had a great time relaxing by the pool. It was nice that they had a small bar with food and drinks by the pool too. We will be back! Read less

First, let me state that I am pushing over 1k nights at the Marriott and have Lifetime Platinum status. I only state that because I am not one to write reviews.

First, let me state that I am pushing over 1k nights at the Marriott and have Lifetime Platinum status. I only state that because I am not one to write reviews. We made a reservation with the Hythe then called to extend the reservation by one evening - but really hours because we would have left the property by 6am the next day. I called on a Sunday to speak to the reservation department at the Hythe and was told nobody works in that department on Sunday and was assured if I left a message I would get a call back Monday. I did not get a call back Monday so I called at the end of the day. I was then told the representative needed to speak with her manager, Kim Woodward, and I would get a call back the next day. I waited half the day Tuesday then called back. Left a message with the same rep to have Kim call me. Kim then called me back Tuesday evening at 4:30pm CST after leaving several messages. I called back 90 minutes later and left another message. I then called and left messages on Wednesday, then several on Thursday and Friday morning - all for Kim who finally called me back on Friday afternoon and explained that she had the last several days off. She was extremely rude on the phone, was not helpful at all, did not take any context into the situation and treated me like I haven't been a loyal customer of the brand for the last 12+ years. If this is any indication of their service, I would definitely opt for another "luxury" brand. My experience was far from polite, let alone a "luxury" experience. Read less

I was all set to give the hotel 5 stars. It's an amazing resort with all the amenitities you could ask for. Everything is on site. Multiple restaurants, a gorgeous bar area, a fabulous gym. I SO took advantage of the spa, which was AMAZING!! I didn't need to get in my car once, as there's also a bus to Vail Village, although I could've gotten a ride, but both times, they were crazy busy. The bus ride was short and sweet. I wish I would've brought my bike with me, as the trail was about .1 mile away. They upgraded my room to a suite with the fireplace I requested. It was beautiful! So what was wrong with it, you ask? I know it's a silly thing, but really 2 silly things. One of them was that I had a muffin and a croissant by the coffee pot that I was saving for breakfast. When I went to get it this morning, it was no where to be seen! I think the house cleaner threw it away! She was a very sweet housekeeper, but why on earth would you throw something away that was obviously being saved? I was SO looking forward to that muffin and coffee, as I am an early bird getting up way before anything is ever open. The other thing was the bar last night. Two people had just gotten back from vacation. Which I'm happy they got some time away, but they were both very vocal about the fact that they had, so they knew nothing of what was going on. The poor guy that was there the night before looked a tad frustrated. Like is said, not a HUGE deal, but still a bit unprofessional. Especially when there are people sitting at the bar listening. Other than those 2 little things, the stay was amazing! I can't wait to bring my husband back! And next time, I'm bringing my bike!! Read less
