Ski, shop and relax on your winter trip to Vail, based at the Marriott Mountain Resort.The resort has been designed in the style of a luxury European ski lodge, with lots of natural materials and warm colours throughout. This theme continues into the rooms, which are decorated with cosy furnishings, plush beds and beautiful marble bathrooms.The facilities here are amazing too. There’s an outdoor pool, plus a big outdoor hot tub. Inside is another pool and the Golden Leaf Spa, where you can relax and revitalise in the sauna and steam room – or even indulge in a massage or beauty treatment.Peckish? No problem. Each morning you can fill up from the buffet in the First Chair restaurant – and you can eat there à la carte for lunch and dinner too. There’s also the Avalanche Pub, where you can grab some tasty pub grub or sit back in front of the fire with a few après drinks. Plus, every afternoon you can warm up with hot chocolate, hot cider, and freshly-baked cookies.The Marriott is in a beautiful location, surrounding by breathtaking scenery.
