Feb 18, 2027 – Feb 20, 2027

Vail - Grand Hyatt Vail

Vail is one of North America’s premier ski destinations, renowned for its legendary terrain, sweeping mountain views, and vibrant alpine village. The town offers an exceptional mix of outdoor adventure and upscale amenities, including world-class skiing, fine dining, boutique shopping, and a full calendar of winter activities. Beyond the slopes, visitors can enjoy snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, scenic gondola rides, and the thrills of tubing at Adventure Ridge. The village transforms in winter with ice skating, festive lights, and cozy fire pits that invite relaxation after a day in the snow. Unique experiences like horse-drawn sleigh rides, luxury spa treatments, and après-ski indulgence further elevate Vail’s charm. Ideally located at the base of the mountain, Grand Hyatt Vail offers ski-in/ski-out access via its exclusive Chairlift 20, known as the Cascade Village Lift, and delivers a refined lodging experience that perfectly complements the energy and beauty of this iconic alpine escape.
