This stunning Alpine retreat made its debut last winter, just in time for guests to hit the slopes at Vail’s world-class ski resort. Nestled among the snowcapped Rocky Mountains in a charming village a stone’s throw from the Eagle Bahn Gondola, the property is the result of a $40m refurbishment that saw the Vail Marriot Mountain Resort transformed into a glossy hotel. The Four-bedroom Penthouse feels more akin to a private chalet than a suite. Ideal for hosting large family get-togethers, it features an expansive living/dining area, Kitchen and balcony with sweeping mountain views. Despite its size, the penthouse retains a cozy feel thanks to the roaring fires and soft knitted throws.

From $3,200 per night. Contact reservations@thehythevail.com, +1 970 476 4444, thehythevail.com
