I arrived in Denver from Maui (read Trip Report: Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa) and checked into the Viceroy Hotel in Snowmass Village, Colorado, about 5 hours later, mid-week in September, for a 3 night stay. There was no snow on the ground in Snowmass, contrary to the name, but the views were still breathtaking.
There’s not much to say about the Viceroy hotel except one thing: it is awesome! This particular location has high end finishes on literally everything, including the in-room espresso machine, washer and dryer, gas fireplaces in the master bedroom and living room, and a full kitchen. If you are into skiing, you will notice the lift is at the base of the hotel. You can literally get on the lift as you walk out of the resort and ski back down to your room.
If you have never stayed at a Viceroy Hotel, it is really worth it. The restaurant food was delicious and the plating and taste made it obvious that the chef had some great culinary training. The bathrooms were well stocked with shampoo, body wash, lotion, and conditioner from Neil George. Pricing in Snowmass Village is not cheap, and the food was moderately expensive compared to other destinations, but not overly expensive when compared to similar areas, such as Aspen. Viceroy has locations throughout the world, and they have a rewards program as well.
Here are some photos from my hotel room. I especially loved the view from the balcony.
If you have any questions about the Viceroy Hotel, please let me know.
