Fodor's Expert Review Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch in Beaver Creek

Here towering wood beams highlighted by stone fireplaces make for a grand scene in the lobby and on the outdoor terrace, where a fire pit ties together the cozy scene. Charming rooms feature fireplaces and panoramic views of Beaver Creek Mountain or Vail Valley. The 21,000-square foot spa focuses on treatments using Colorado-sourced ingredients (like locally mined activated charcoal), while the fitness center offers group classes and cardio machines facing the majestic mountain. The numerous on-site restaurants and bar near the pool make it easy to stay put when not on the slopes.
