The Arrabelle at Vail Square

Where do I begin? This hotel brought me so much joy. It is so beautiful just to start. It is so cozy when you enter the lobby. We went on our first family vacation to vail since 2000, now 13 of us! My experience was amazing as per I can’t ski with everyone because I’m disabled. The first night I had trouble sleeping. I woke up like 3:30 am, got dressed and went to the lobby where I was greeted by Claudia. She was so sweet. We chatted and I asked, which I assumed the answer would be no, as per it was way early for coffee. That’s when she asked Brock, of I believe it was security, if I could get coffee and he actually said Yes!!! I couldn’t believe it. They went completely out of their way and got me the most delicious cup of coffee. Also a cup of trail mix to boot. At the time I was unaware there was actually a machine in my room lol! It was so nice of them. Now we come to the fantastic wait staff at The Tavern! Rich, Nick, Miguel, and Kevin were all phenomenal our whole trip! They knew my name and had lovely conversations with me when I ate alone. Oh and I can’t forget Misha! While at the hotel my husband and I celebrated our anniversary and we had no idea how long an uber was going to take to pick us up. We had reservations at the Four Seasons for our dinner. That’s when Ben the Valet stepped in and said that he could take us there and drop us off. But it wasn’t just that action he was so nice and I kept running into him our whole trip, he was just so sweet. Every morning I seemed to run into Hunter, though I’m not sure of his title, but he was just so nice and always took a moment to chat with me when he could of just carried on doing his job. Now I have come to Elana, sweet Elana, always greeting me and complimenting on the days vintage outfit! She took the time out of her busy schedule to talk to me and it really meant a lot. Towards the end of the trip on a morning I couldn’t sleep I went to the lobby and I met James. We had such good conversations and talked about the pets in our lives and more and he didn’t have to do that. The level of care and kindness the hotel staff showed me was superb! I know I’m sure I’m missing people as per there were so many, including housekeepers that I kept running into, but all in all this hotel’s customer service is outstanding! These people didn’t have to give me the time of day but the thing is they did!! Thank you staff of the Arrabelle I appreciate you, I see you, and I look forward to seeing ya’ll again!

The Arrabelle is one of the most luxurious hotels in Vail. The luxury is understated. It comes through in the atmosphere, the balance of the spaces, and the way the property feels as a whole. Nothing feels excessive. Nothing feels accidental. Ski access is seamless and sets the rhythm of the day. You move easily between the mountain and the hotel, without interruption. The restaurant is very good, and the ambiance throughout the property encourages you to slow down and stay present. The lobby carries the same tone—warm, composed, and inviting. It is a magical place. One of those rare hotels where the setting, the design, and the experience align.

The Arrabelle is one of the top hotels to stay at on your trip to Vail. This property is literally the best ski on ski off hotel at any of the Vail base areas with the Grand Hyatt and the Lodge in Vail Village being other secondary options. We walked through the hotel today on our way to lunch at Tavern on the Square which was great. We'll definitely have to stay here someday, the lobby area is beautiful and the location alone makes this place spectacular.

The Arrabelle is a nice hotel with a great location and friendly staff. For the very high price point, we had a couple of things that made this a 4/5 for us: 1) Bathroom. Our room’s bathroom didn’t have a toilet paper hanger so it was just sitting on top of the toilet. Also, the toilet didn’t flush well and we had to take the top off and try to fix it. 2) Construction happening in the room across the hallway. Loud noises of sanding came from the room across the hall well. There was a plastic square on the ground that we stepped on to get to our room. Also at night there was a strong paint smell in the hallway. 3) Breakfast: while breakfast is included, gratuity for the person that brings you a coffee is not. They charge you ~7 bucks a person for someone to walk over one time and pour black coffee. If you want a latte, that costs extra. The first day, our waiter didn’t even mention the gratuity was included so we gave him additional tip. One bright spot for me was the valet, they were super friendly and it was a pleasure chatting with them.

The Arrabelle at Vail Square is one of the best experiences I have had at a hotel. I travel a lot and was impressed with so many aspects; the staff is delightful and focused on the guests, the food is delicious; and the rooms are very nice, clean, and spacious. I was on a work trip and the Arrabelle staff were friendly, attentive, and courteous. I liked the coffee they set out every morning at 7am and in the afternoon they have a delicious assortment cookies (both regular and gluten free). I have to specifically call out Natalie as she is the epitome of ‘exceptional guest experience’ and she went out of her way to help me manage some attitude issues I experienced the first day. Lastly, the location is incredible and close to everything. The views form the restaurant are world class.

My husband and I like to get away every fall to Vail, just him and I (without our kids). The last time we stayed at the Arrabelle was two years ago, when it was amazing. It has changed since then. We just got home from two nights there, and I wish we would have stayed elsewhere. I was so looking forward to the big delicious breakfast, the delicious cookies they would set out for guests, the 24 hour coffee bar, the sparkling water machine, etc. All of that was not to be had on this visit. I didn’t realize until we got there that the usual buffet breakfast, which was so good in the past, would not be offered, as the restaurant was closed for renovation until the middle of November. They did offer a complimentary breakfast at The Belle, which was cute, and good, but not what I was expecting. You get a coffee or other drink, a breakfast sandwich, and a pastry. I wish that would have been more clearly communicated. Also, we were looking forward to watching some movies in our room, but the screen mirroring wasn’t working. There is a free movie program, but the choices were not very good. There wasn’t any way to access Amazon or Netflix. I called and they told me they should have the screen mirroring working by our second day, but that wasn’t the case. Had to just watch our movie on our device. The Arrabelle was clean and pretty, but it just didn’t have all the extras it used to, and was lacking a few things we were expecting. For our annual special getaway, it turned out to be a bit of a disappointment for us.

I visited The Arrabelle in October for a corporate retreat, and we had a fantastic stay. The hotel team did an excellent job hosting the event and making the entire weekend seamless.||I brought my husband, our one-year-old, and my mother to help with babysitting while we attended dinners. Lauren Skidmore went above and beyond to make sure our room setup worked perfectly for our family. She even arranged a crib and special amenities for the baby.||The entire staff was kind, responsive, and attentive throughout our stay. Thank you for such a wonderful experience, we’ll definitely be back!

We return to The Arrabelle every year for Oktoberfest, and it’s always the highlight of our fall. This year was no exception—it was truly magical from start to finish. We were given a gorgeous room with the best location, right above the Oktoberfest festivities. The hotel itself is stunning, but it’s the staff who make the experience unforgettable. Kevin at valet and the rest of the team go above and beyond, making us feel like true VIPs every time we visit. The Arrabelle has become part of our yearly tradition, and we can’t imagine staying anywhere else. We’ll continue to recommend this hotel to friends, and we’re already looking forward to coming back!

Great stay at an amazing property. Everything was perfect. The staff is very nice and accommodating. Clean rooms, excellent amenities and comfortable beds. The food in the restaurant is fantastic.

Could not recommend a better place in Vail! From the the start Joe at Valet was so welcoming and informative, Mason at Check in went out of his way to gift us a bottle of champagne for our engagement (complementary, which was not expected but greatly appreciated) The concierge also recommended Eagle Valley Sitters services while we went skiing, (Danielle at EVS was Top Tier for our 2 yr old). We skiid at Eagle Bahn and the beginner slope is actually on site so that was perfect for us. Rentals on site and a discount for staying here. We had cocktails and lunch at Vail Chophouse after skiing. Everything is here on site! The complementary daily breakfast is actually really good, and there is a playground on site for the kids. This is our first time in vail and we had the best experience here. Best experience here!

Unfortunately, this was an awful hotel. We decided to stay here (2nd time being here) for our anniversary. Summary: 5 star PRICE for 1 star amenities and service, would highly recommend giving another premium brand your time and money. There were a myriad of issues from amenities to service. We stayed 4 nights 3 days. Amenities: Our shower did not function for half of our stay. We were unable to shower in our room. We called and spoke with different front desk attendants on each occurrence. While nice, they ultimately provided 0 help other than suggesting we go and shower in the locker room/spa area (obviously highly inconvenient and far from optimal due to hours and not having your toiletries and clothes with you). This first occurred on the first morning of our trip around 8am, and the spa doesn't open until 10am. After waiting an hour, we decided not to delay skiing any further and left without showering. Not being able to shower in the evenings was also an issue. Other amenity issues: women's spa steam sauna was out of service for our whole trip and also did not have a cold plunge while the men's spa did. Only 1/2 hot tubs was in order. There was a massive leak from the ceiling in the lobby, and it was left in utter disrepair with soaked towels and dry wall on the ground for hours (pictured) right in front of the entry door. Yikes. In addition to calling on multiple occasions, we stopped by the front desk 3 times to discuss these issues and were never met by a manager. We were told a manager would contact us during our trip, however that did not occur during our trip or at any time after. Ultimately, we faced other issues pertaining to service and are really left with no recourse other than to let the general public know what they can expect if staying here. In the unlikely event you stay here and don't have issues with any basic or spa amenities, I'm sure it would be nice. However, I would not risk paying the Arrabelle holiday season premium pricing with so many other options available. I have to add that a front desk attendant removed $200 from our bill, which essentially amounts to 2 days of the daily resort fee. With basic room and spa amenities being unavailable, this was merely a gesture than any meaningful measure taken by the staff. You will have a better experience at any other comparable hotel. Thanks for reading, happy travels.

My wife and I stayed at The Arrabelle back in May, it is not at all what I expected from a $$$$ hotel. - The room was super dusty (see photo). So much so that I wrote "dust me" on the headboard. - Our Junior suite was nice but definitely on the small side and as I already mentioned... dusty. - There was supposed to be an Arrabelle shuttle service that you could text and set up a ride wherever you needed to go. On at least two occasions we needed a ride, texted them, then never heard back. Ended up taking the free city bus. - Two times we were locked out of our room because the card reader at our room crapped out. The front desk blamed the cards. - The Arrabelle really missed the mark of luxurious accommodations. I have no need to return.

All you can ask for and more Great mountain lodge vibe while still being upscale. . .

Superior luxury accommodations in Vail Village. Excellent location, outstanding service. Shuttle. Roof pool. Super staff. Enjoyed my too brief stay! I'd go back anytime. Arabella is owned by Vail Resorts, and was founded by the Rock. Not that Rock; the original -- Rockefeller.

Located in the center of Lions Head Square, just steps from the gondola, the Arribelle is an amazing Hotel in & of itself, with beautiful architecture & classic furnishings. But what really impressed us was the hospitality, professionalism, & warmth of the staff, from the baggage & valet crew in the Porte cochere, to the cheerful front desk clerk, to the food & beverage staff in the restaurant to the guest room attendants, & spa therapists. We checked in on April 10th 2022, & stayed for 3 wonderful nights.  Here are some examples of how the Arribelle staff went above & beyond for us. We wanted my wife's skis waxed, but it was late afternoon & the ski shop was closing. The valet attendant told her not to worry, that he knew the ski tech, & would personally run her skis over to the shop, & bring them back in the morning. Sure enough, when she went out to valet the next day, her skis were freshly waxed, & serviced. We loved the breakfast buffet, but I wanted some of the soppressata mixed into my omelet. No problem! They took care of it for me. Our guest room attendant brought us slippers up to the pool when I forgot mine, & made sure our water was stocked, & ice bucket was full. Samantha, our massage therapist, was nothing short of stellar. She delivered the best massages my wife & I ever had, & that's saying something because we've experienced massage from all over the US & Asia. Samantha was the BEST! I can't wait to return this winter for more wonderful pampering by the great folks at the Arribelle Hotel!

Quite possibly the worst customer service experience I've ever had with a hotel. Dirty room, rude staff, and walls as thing as paper.

Beautiful hotel resort inside and out! The food/room service was great, the staff was attentive and made us feel extra special celebrating our honeymoon. Getting to Vail village is easy to book through the resort or local bus, we preferred to walk the marked trails though. Our room overlooked one of the ski lifts - we loved watching them come down the mountain to start our day. Thank you again for making our stay here so memorable! We look forward to returning for anniversaries!

We booked our hotel for three rooms for three nights starting today, the 23 of December 2022. It was over fifteen thousand dollars. The storm that the The United States is experiencing brought many flight cancellations and an arctic blast not seen in decades. Our flights were canceled. We, along with many Americans were given cold wind and weather advice to not stay out longer than five minutes or risk frostbite. Our dreams of skiing and snowmobiling family trip were not possible. The hotel refused to work with us to give us any of our money back or offer us future lodging. The concierge at the hotel just kept saying that "This is our weather here" The staff is not properly trained to assist customers. We are very disappointed. I, along with my team are content creators/ influencers for many brands including hotel chains. We plan on educating others through our social media platforms about our experience with Expedia, Arrabelle, and Rock Resorts.

this hotel is wonderful and the service is just perfect! We had an amazing end of the year trip with my family!!! 10/10

I cannot say enough about this hotel and especially the penthouse apartment. This is my 3rd visit and each time the Arrabelle exceeds my expectations. The location cannot be beat, it's the perfect village spot in the middle of it all and has great proximity to the slopes. The hotel itself has a beautiful lobby, fireplace, fresh coffee, great restaurant. The gym is large, clean and has everything I could ever need. The penthouse has a great view and has every comfort of home - washer/dryer, full kitchen, great beds and linens. I have stayed at many Vail properties and this is by far the best lodging option we have found. I can't wait to go back in April for the Taste of Vail event!

Wonderful location, friendly staff, but the units we rented were very dated and had several broken items. The dryer didn't work, coffee pot, bedroom blinds were broken so it was hard to sleep well with the outside lights and sunshine. We also had to get keys rekeyed several times during our stay as the locks didn't work properly. For the price, I expected much higher quality. Again, friendly staff was a big plus.

We stayed here 4 nights & we had a great time! It was our first time in the area but the staff was so personable & genuine that it felt as if we were regulars. The hotel is beautiful & I like how it has a bed & breakfast personable feeling to it. Our room was a Junior Suite & it was more than I expected! The bathroom is huge as well as a large living room with a gas fireplace. The bedroom is large and has an elegant bed with curtains that opens up to a massive patio that could host a party. Definitely Instagram worthy. The hotel even boasts its own small village with shops and a few restaurants. We ordered to go from Vail Chophouse & it was nothing short of excellent..pricey but well worth it. Just across from the lobby is the spa. We booked men's services here & had a great time! I do think it's worth mentioning that the men's steam room isn't the greatest but the staff & the services they provide make up for it. The spa was recommended to us by the concierge Lana who was responsible for our trip being so great! She was so kind & genuinely wanted us to have a great time here. She had the best recommendations & even sent us a bottle of champagne on ice! What a great way to start off the trip! The hotel is in a very convenient location. We were able to walk to vail village within 15 minutes although it was quite cold. If you prefer, the hotel offers a complimentary shuttle. Overall, we had an excellent experience and would stay again.

No hot water for days. My wife and I chose the Arabelle for our honeymoon. Unfortunately, service and quality was a disappointment. Bottom line is that we didn't have hot water for 2 days. The staff gave us the run-around and inconsistent communication through the entire experience. My experience was that the staff didn't have any training or empowerment on how to resolve a guest issue. All we wanted was a hot shower after skiing all day. We left messages and asked to speak with the manager, maintenance...anyone that we thought could help we tried to contact; no acknowledgement and no response whatsoever. We checked out and the bill presented did not match what they eventually charged us. The Arrabelle did not follow through with its promise to refund us for the days we didn't have hot water. Had to call back again and got the same run-around. I asked to speak with the manager again. Never received a call back from anyone at the Arrabelle. In the end, we had an excellent honeymoon and we would never let this experience ruin a wonderful occasion.

We had a wonderful stay at The Lion which is part of The Arrabelle. We had a few hiccups upon arrival which were handled in an exemplary manner. Kudos to the management staff. Well appointed condo within close walking distance to the Eagle Bahn Gondola. They have hot chocolate & desserts ready for you at 4pm when you come off the slopes. We can't wait to come back!

The Arrabelle was our introduction to Vail and we could not have asked for a more pleasant experience and stay. Located in the transporting Lionshead village where you feel like you are in the Swiss Alps, the resort has ever conceivable amenity and hospitality perk one could ask for. And the staff are the friendliest of the friendliest. The Arrabelle is just steps away from the Eagle Bahn lifts where you can catch the Gondola or chair lifts for the sensational slopes. After a day and night out, the perfect bookend is coming back to the spacious and warmly decorated rooms. The extra nice touches are the humidifiers, yoga mat and foam rollers for easing muscle tension. Some the spoiling extras are the free rides in VIP looking GMC Denali to anywhere in Vail where you arrive in style, Supergoop sunscreen that my wife loves so much she bought some at the spa, and speaking of spa, we needed eye drops and couldn't locate immediately but got a call to our room a few minutes later from the helpful spa person that she located it... a life saver on the slopes. Next time in Vail, will not hesitate to stay again as this winter wonderland.

The Arrabelle is world class. We stayed right off of Eagle Bahn. The location was superb and the service was amazing. On top of the friendly staff a concierge was available to provide tips for popular restaurants in and around Vail. There was an amazing spa area that was luxurious and soothing. There were also 2 rooftop spas so you can enjoy the beautiful views of the rockies. They offer ski valet so that you do not have to carry your gear when you are done on the slopes.

This may be one of the most fabulous hotels we've ever stayed. The staff was always one step ahead in anticipating our needs. I don't think I've ever been skiing where I never had to carry my skis once!

This hotel, and the staff, from valet, to concierge, to the restaurant/bar, has made my trip phenomenal! My room is exquisite, and every detail has been attended to. I would love dimmers for all the lights, but there are so many lights and features throughout my room, I completely get it. I adore the iPad feature and wish I could book my spa treatments directly through same. The food and wine and accoutrements are top notch and remind me of the Broadmoor! Every other hotel in Vail has that sterile modern cement thing going on, and this is cozy and warm and right up my alley! I'm going to jump on the ice rink later and then do the roof top hot tub. My floor is heated in my bathroom and I don't want to leave. Yummy, cozy, pampered, happy. Arrabelle.

Great service and romantic! We got upgraded to the suite and loved the turn down service. Unfortunately we came during "off season" so it was pretty dead however I can see this being amazing during season. There's an ice skating rink right outside however it was closed during our stay. The car service is awesome which can take you around Vail. Loved the perks with the restaurants and spa. I believe the spa is under renovation but we made it for the last day it was open. Loved the fireplace in the room.

Bad covid 19 policy. everything was a no. No cleaning of the room,$1000 a night why??? they sent email one day before saying that they will not clean the room of course after your cancellation period is over and the deposit is nonrefundable. covid is person to person not clothing to person as per the CDC ..... No breakfast reservation space, and bad food ( but you go down and the space is empty not even the 21 people you said is allowed) concierge doesn't even know at what time ski school opens or closes... young kids with out any basic information.

What a beautiful resort! The valet team was very polite and greeted us with a warm welcome. They brought our bags up promptly and were very courteous. The shuttle service was much appreciated too! Thanks guys! The room was clean and felt very homie with beautiful snowy mountain views. The food and service was great! 5 stars all the way!

Our family of 6 booked a last-minute five day trip in a three bedroom here. Property is very nice, well maintained and overall decent service. The tavern restaurant is excellent for breakfast and the location is unbeatable. Steps from shops and dining, everything is there, a great liquor store, general store and souvenir shops just a few steps away. We arrived around 1pm, and the front desk girl said the maids were cleaning our room and she would call when the room was ready - the usual check in time is 4 PM. She gave us a key to the pool and we went for lunch at the little diner, see separate 5 star review. After shopping and eating we checked back with the front desk and the room was still not ready. No problem, we walked around, more shopping, and returned around 3 PM. Still the room was not ready, so we went to the pool and the kids swam until 4 PM. Front desk girl never called us, instead we had to go down and ask for our room keys. She said the maids were just finishing up - 4 hours later! Throughout our stay we experienced additional curt/rude service from the front desk. Front desk needs customer service training - 2/5 stars. Our interaction with the concierge and valet were all outstanding - 5/5 stars. House car service was special, rides between villages with friendly drivers, we never waited more than a few minutes.

The Arrabelle is a beautiful property-it's a Bavarian dream. The hotel is large which makes for a busy valet and downstairs area. The rooms need modernizing-the carpets are tired and the bathroom vanity feels old. Same for the shower floor. The heated floors didn't work evenly. One spot was hot while most of the bathroom floors were freezing. The balcony tile floors are also freezing. Everything else was proper and as expected for a landmark like the Arrabelle.

This hotel is in the beautiful Vail village. It's like a storybook setting. I absolutely love the cobblestone roads, fresh mountain air, and the cozy hotel. My favorite parts are the rooftop pool, the gym & spa! Oh and the path that leads to one of the greatest hikes ever! If you're wiped out after hiking up, you can take the gondola down the mountain. They serve a delicious breakfast here too. The only issue I had was with them billing my incorrectly and had trouble correcting the problem.

Amazing place to take your family, plush rooms and amazing service! Make sure you hit the SPA, its perfect after a ling day on the slopes. The ski valet team is great as well....

Exceptional hotel. We arrived very late but stayed for 2 nights. Booked while traveling across the country, received a Junior Suite. Was heavenly for a weary traveller. The bathroom was great including a heated floor. Look for Restaurant week in the fall. Would definitely return

I love the Arrabelle. I think it is probably one of the best situationally located hotels in the Vail valley, and its absolutely beautiful with excellent service. The restaurant is great, the rooms are beautiful, and in comparison with the room service at other equally rated hotels it is one of the best. Also, the views from almost any suite is incredible.

Everyone was extremely accommodating to any request that we had. The breakfast served each morning was absolutely delicious. I love how they keep serving it until 11 as well, which allowed our schedule to be flexible. The tub in the bathroom was a huge plus and I used it every day. The Lather brand that they have for the soaps and shampoos smells amazing and I am about to purchase some for myself. The king bed was super comfortable, but I do wish that the pillows would have been better. The room came with robes and slippers, which is always a win for me. Being right by the vandals that takes you up the mountain is so convenient and is absolutely worth staying here for that. The view up at the top is insane. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone!

I am updating this review in light of a conversation I had with the property manager this morning. After receiving the original 1 star review, my file was pulled and the GM was apprised of the situation that was being handled by their 3rd party reservation service. In short, the GM apologized for the process we underwent and the customer service which fell below that of the excellent service we experienced with representatives at the actual Arabelle property. He offered to refund our money in its entirety, which was a much appreciated gesture and one we did not expect but greatly appreciate given our current situation. To be clear, the 3rd party, Vail Resorts Management Company, is the first, second and third contact we had and all were unsympathetic and uninterested in listening to our extreme predicament. The GM today was the first to express regret for our situation and was willing to work something out acknowledging that sometimes policies don't always fit the situation, and building relationships and customer loyalty is more valuable than immediate financial gratification. For its actions, the Arabelle will get exactly that from us. I gave it 4 stars and not 5 just because the 3rd party arrangement is not satisfactory because that organization demonstrated on multiple occasions they cannot live up to the Arabelle's high expectations regarding customer service. Original Text for context only. We booked the Arabelle Resort several months prior to our February 19th, 2021, departure. On February 15th, we experienced an unprecedented winter storm (declared a federal and state disaster area) lasting for days that completely knocked out the entire state's energy grid, leaving us with no power for days in subzero temperatures. As a result, our pipes in our home burst on February 17th. At this point, we could no longer attempt to make the trip as our house is no longer habitable. Reluctantly, we canceled our reservations and were issued refunds by all parties except this corporation which refused to offer any recompense for any portion of the 8 day stay we booked due to their cancellation policy, which we missed by a matter of days. We spoke to management on 3 different occasions and were not offered even an attempt at empathy for our situation much less any willingness to help with any portion of the $6,000 cost for the 8 day stay. This organization is supposed to be in the hospitality business but clearly lacks any feeling for its patrons. We would have happily scheduled a stay next year assuming we could save the funds again in acknowledgement of their understanding and as a show of loyalty, but this experience is so despicable, that I will NEVER give my business to these greedy people again, and I hope you don't either. This is the type of behavior that only changes if its consumers demand it change.

Got stuck driving home in a snow storm and ended up staying here for a night with my puppy! The service was amazing! I had to wait a little bit while my room was getting ready and wanted to change into warmer clothes (I wasn't prepared for the snow!) The guys working valet offered to watch my dog while I went to the spa to change really quickly! Our room was beautiful and the hotel so very dog friendly! I am for sure coming back here for a longer stay!!

I stayed at the Arrabelle for my 40th birthday. They are a newer hotel and easier to please... and pleased me they did! Here is why... AMENITIES (PREMIUM ROOM): -Fireplace in our room - yes -Veranda overlooking the mountain - yes -Zach sent up complimentary Veuve Rosé and a decadent pastry plate complete with macarons- yes (my friend Jane called the hotel from Singapore to prompt this gift, but the hotel provided it... classy. -TV in the gigantic bathrooms -Water pressure galore -Heated bathroom floors -Full bottles with pump of quality toiletries, no squandering and desperate squeezing for a teaspoon of shampoo here! -Canopy beds that are more comfortable than a Westin (which we stayed at at DIA with a fresh comparison -Complimentary snacks and waters - cereal crispy treats, savory mix, trail bars, chocolate on the pillow -Starbucks in the room, Starbucks in the Lobby AM, Starbucks across the way, Starbucks everywhere -Oh so cozy robes AND slippers -Humidifier in the room - thank you!!! Love, my skin -yoga mate and muscle roller thing -$100 voucher to spa, cheapest service around $165. I didn't have time to use them facility, I was in the wrangler in the mountains RESTAURANT - TAVERN ON THE..SOMETHING: -DELICIOUS and profound complimentary breakfast buffet, and you can sit overlooking the mountain. still dreaming about it. Fresh waffles and omelette and anything else you could hope fire with a daily chef special. Even smoked salmon! -Venison and Elk Sausage with Gnocchi was divine -Only place open for a late dinner in Lionsgate Village -Waiters know their wine pairing -CONS - middle aged smooth live music at night bleh, skip the fried zucchini, cute are too big HOTEL: -Jacuzzis and pool in the roof before the mountain, daily I went for laps and nightly We went for jacuzzi before turning in under the moon/ stars and the charming Swiss alp architecture -Gorgeous decor -Most is the drivers and hot pricing complimentary schleps to Vail Village. Very friendly. LIONSGATE VILLAGE: It's the neighboring village to the main Vail Village. I like Lionsgate much more because: -better architecture -less clip joints and pushy salesmen -while there are less restaurants and shops, Vail Village seems over stuffed and even crowded with wealthy and wanna be wealthy tourists and it's killing the vibe of nature. If you are goi g to Vail for a sweet hotel and to spend the day in the Rockies and nature and GOD, Lionsgate is better. If you're just there to sit and shop... maybe Vail Village is for you SPORT: -a stones throw away from Berry Pick Trail, one of their hardest and most beautiful trails. Gondola ride down is free, free filtered water at the top -equally close gondola entrance, bike rental etc ACTIVITIES: -I fall short here because I left vail for explore. But I climbed the mountain by the hotel on Berry Picker Trail and is was both free and spectacular -I wish I had time for a zip line and mountain bike ride. Only there 4 days STAFF: -Best hospitality and help and knowledge and honestly and kindness I have EVER experienced IN MY LIFE.... and I grew up on tour with my family living in hotels and I travel incessantly. Can't say enough how special and authentic the staff are I love you Arrabelle! I will definitely stay here again.

My husband and I came here for our honeymoon during the off season in May. Every detail made us feel pampered, relaxed, and extremely happy. Our room was incredible and the view of the mountain you couldn't possibly beat. We had a gas fireplace, bottle of wine and were set our first night. The next morning we booked an appointment for a couples massage. Their spa is absolutely amazing and a must if you stay here. We kept our car in their parking garage the entire stay because their shuttle drivers will drive you anywhere you want to go and will pick you up. Also, I believe this is the only resort that has a gondola right outside it's doors. The staff here is one of a kind. Every employee we encountered from the ones at the front desk to our shuttle drivers were friendly, professional and eager to help in any way they could. We seriously forgot we were even in Colorado and it felt more like Europe! Thank you so much for helping us have a romantic and amazing honeymoon. I recommend this to anyone who appreciates excellent service and luxury.

I had stayed at the Arabelle many times over the years, but never used booking.com to reserve a room. We had always had nice rooms with a balcony, so it never occurred to me that there was anything different for $500 per night in the off season. The room they gave us was just a box with a view of the building next door. In the room there were two incredibly uncomfortable wooden chairs, so really the only place to sit was on the bed. Really depressing ambiance for a hotel in the mountains. If you book this place (particularly with a booking site). call in advance so they don't put you in the worst room they can find, if they have customers that booked directly. Also, the blinds, were broken, the drapes had come off their hooks, and the bed skirt was ripped. Obviously, the room was the last one they had, so despite it's condition, they had to put someone in there. Really disappointing. I asked to be moved, but they refused.

I love love it here when in vail. The hotel is beautiful. It's right in that square so you're steps from everything! Skiing, ice cream! Those hotel had some of the best food I've had when on ski trips. We had a car when staying here and I remember the valet guys were the best. I love vail as much as I do because of this property

This place gets the full 5 star rating even though staying there is kinda like staying in the Disneyland Castle. So we all know we don't live in 17th century France. But don't tell anyone at the Arrabelle that. The place fits in perfectly in the WooWoo land setting of Lionshead Gondola-ville in Vail. The rooms are fit for Louie XIV. Fireplaces that you can turn on for variable amounts of set times; all glass shower stalls; soaking tubs with extension wands and built-in arm rests; heated marble bathroom floors; first grade bathroom amenities; luscious overstuffed beds with high- count sheets and one of those Sun King-like headboards with recessed reading lights; a private patio overlooking the mountain; and the list goes on and on and on. Bottom line, got the whole shootin' match for $129 a night over the Labor Day weekend from Travelocity (but add to that a $30 per day "resort fee" that included valet parking and super concierge services), and you've got a helluva chi-chi mountain deal. For us simpler folks, Vail's a once-a-year, at most, kinda experience, but if you're gonna blow some $$$ on having a memorable time, staying at the Arrabelle is about the most reasonable way to do it.

One of the best banquet set ups ever. Great food at the tavern and what a great location. Very nice place and people. Thanks again to the banquet staff and the chef, y'all are great!!

The "Pelican Hill" of Vail, where everything is just simply done right. Ski in and ski out, really. Dante, their new assistant manager, has an amazing energy and was very accommodating throughout our stay. Concierge Maryanne did the heavy lifting by helping us plan our stay. The Arrabelle is an absolute first-class resort.

Service is amazing -- front desk, valet, spa, all worked out beyond our expectations. I think I saw the valet a total of one times before he knew my name and was able to retrieve my car without asking for the ticket. The Tavern on the Square is nothing special and in fact does not seem to fit into the general experience of the Arrabelle but I would not ding the rating on this one as being in Vail itself gives you so many other options. The other great thing about staying here (through Exclusive Resorts) was access to the courtesy car. If you wanted to get to Vail square it was an easy and quick way of getting there if you wanted to forgo the 20 minute walk -- they also provide return service with just a dial for pickup when you are ready.

This was our first introduction to Vail. We had such a great experience here. The hotel is beautiful and the location could not be better. Vail sports for equipment rental was literally next door along with the ski school for children. We also appreciated the ski valet which is literally across from the gondola. There was never a wait and they were always very organized. After the first day, they knew us by name. The ski valet even returned our rental equipment for us at the end of our stay. Our room was very comfortable and we never heard the other guests. Room service was prompt and accurate. The breakfast buffet was also amazing. They had a great selection and everything was delicious. We will definitely be back!

By far the most enjoyable stay at a hotel to date. From the valet staff to the staff at the front desk everyone was extremely courteous and pleasant. We booked our stay and were immediately blown away by our room (especially since we brought our dog with us). Our room had a gas fireplace that we were able to utilize with a bottle of wine prior to heading out for our dinner reservations. Despite having a dinner reservation, we were tempted to cancel and enjoy the space and luxury of our room. The hotel is centrally located right in Vail Square with easy access to hiking trails and walking distance to Vail Center for more dining options. Will definitely be back!

Absolutely amazing! Beautiful and one of the best wine tastings I have attended! This was my first event at Arrabelle and it was so much fun. There were tapas from many of the local restaurants in Vail. 100 wines to taste. I would love to attend this event next year! The event was the Debut of Rosé 2017! Nice job hosting!!

First time here. Oh my goodness, this hotel is beautiful. Gorgeous grounds, the staff was incredible. Truly incredible. They take care of everything you could possibly think of and are completely and utterly polite while doing so... It was a bachelorette party, so we definitely took advantage of the 24 hour car service which is such a plus! I spent a good three hours in the spa, which was beautiful and relaxing and perfect and on and on and on. I would love the opportunity to go back here, especially in the off season when the rates are phenomenal.

Gorgeous! Great location, amenities and amazing service. Will be returning as often as possible. I even forgot a makeup bag and they mailed it to me the next day!

Beware of traveling with pets!! So I booked my room on Hotwire and it said the hotel was pet friendly and listed the fees. So I called well in advance of my stay to make sure i was going to be in a dog friendly room. When I called the hotel I could only speak to the national rock resort reservation people not the actual front desk (very annoying). Anyways the lady went on and on about how I should of booked the room through them directly and she wouldn't be able to guarantee a pet room. So me coming for 3 hours away wouldn't have a guaranteed pet room when I arrive. Fun times now that I have a nonrefundable room with hotwire. The worst part is that the lady made it my problem not something that we needed to find a solution to.

Oh where do I start? We brought our family of six for a week long ski vacation here, including our three adult children and a significant other, so we had four rooms. What an expensive disappointment this turned out to be! First, housekeeping was a disaster. We were gone skiing from about 10 to 2 every day and we never came back to a clean room. Our room didn't get cleaned at all two days in a row and when it did, it was with us back in the room dodging the cleaners. We asked repeatedly that it be done during our absence and were told it would be, but it never was. Second, we rely heavily on room service when we travel, especially for breakfast but sometimes for other meals as well. OMG how terrible! Not ONE order was correct! Every single time we had to call back and have something re-done and re-delivered. On two occasions our breakfast orders were delivered 20-30 minutes early, waking us up. Once they called and woke us up to tell us they were out of something we ordered. And to top it off - the food was mediocre at best and, of course, very expensive. Third. The noise level in the room was ridiculous because of the apparently paper thin adjoining doors. We unfortunately had very rude neighbors and there was a lot of yelling, screaming and swearing going on. We could hear literally every ugly word. So, not even close to the five-star vacation we had paid for and expected. Needless to say, none of us will ever return. PS. I must add that the response and follow-up to this review by Mr. Meyers, Manager of the hotel, has been prompt, caring and diligent. I added two of the stars solely for his efforts!

This place is at the base of Vail Mountain in Lions Head Village. Top notch amenities and service. Our room was 500 square feet. Sick bathroom! Fireplace and couple chairs to sit and read on. A desk in the room (as though I worked while in vail). The bed was extremely comfortable and had bedding that one would expect from such a high end joint. Upon arrival the concierge, Pamela, was spot on with her recommendations for where to eat and drink...Danielle and Chelsea at the front desk were also quite friendly and helpful. But before anything we headed directly to the spa after several hours of uphill mtn bike climbing... No services for us, just some Jacuzzi/steam room/shower use before heading out to grab a bite (Kelly Liken). Apparently she went pretty far on Top Chef. (Someone told me...we don't have TV in our house). I'd come back to this place in two shakes of a lambs tail....it aint cheap is the only down side....but I recommend calling ahead and checking on availability...I was told the room rates really fluctuate and can be had for a steal if you are flexible. By the way, I was flexible and got this for a steal :-)

This review is based on being a photographer there..we were up there photographing a wedding this past weekend and the staff seems amazing! The hotel itself is beautiful and nestled right in Vail Square with plenty to check out Summer or Winter..but the staff was so helpful and pleasant and attended to our every needs as photographers...I can't imagine how great the service will be when we return as guests sometime (which we have to do now!) Can't wait to return as a guest!

A very charming hotel! Very little to complain about (then again, for the price of the stay, there should be very little to complain about, haha). I would return. Stayed a few nights in August. The room was lovely!.. quaintly equipped with: balcony, fire place, comfortable bed, large wardrobe closet, generous lighting options, spacious bathroom. I could have spent my entire holiday in the gorgeous bath alone! And the unique bath soaps imported up from their spa were a nice touch. The lobby area is welcoming and grand.. inviting decor is found throughout the hotel. The pool up top is a bit small and disappointing, but not so much that it would keep me from returning. It was a very relaxing and luxurious stay. Oh, but one thing I would like to point out.. during checkout, for someone who actually thoroughly glances over their final bill, I found it quite cheeky of the Arrabelle to automatically add in "donations" for each night stayed (to some forest service something or other). Okay, maybe not that big a deal, I let it slide. But I couldn't help but find it a bit presumptuous and sneaky.. asking the customer's permission first would be the polite and classy thing to do.
