Vail hotels - Telegraph Vail's hotels are nearly all upmarket and expensive (becoming even more so with the opening in recent years of the luxurious Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons and Solaris hotels). Other top-rank places include the Vail Cascade (with its own lift into the slopes), the plushly Bavarian Sonnenalp and the brilliantly convenient Lodge at Vail (right by the Vista Bahn). Other slightly more affordable places include: Manor Vail Resort At Golden Peak. Suites with sitting area, fireplace, kitchen, terrace. Hot tub and pools. Marriot Mountain Resort At Golden Peak. Spa, pool, hot tub. Evergreen Lodge. Between village and Lionshead. More affordable than others. Outdoor pool, sauna and hot tub. Sports bar. There's a wide range of apartments, from standard to luxury. The Racquet Club at East Vail has lots of amenities. At Vail Village, Mountain Haus is central and high quality. Vail Cascade Resort and Spa is good value, including breakfast and use of the hotel's leisure facilities. And Manor Vail might be a preferred family choice - it's beside the children's ski school. Good value places at Lionshead include Village Inn Plaza, Vantage Point, the Antlers, Enzian, Westwind and Vail 21.
