Additionally, by partnering with Proximity.Space, guests will be able to work, play and relax seamlessly in the lounge area, which is the first coworking space in Vail.

“While Vail is one of the world’s most popular ski destinations, it continues to attract adventure-seekers of all kinds, year-round,” said Shawn McAteer, global head and senior vice president, DoubleTree by Hilton. “DoubleTree by Hilton Vail welcomes guests with a refreshingly affordable retreat and newly renovated hotel, where they can take in all that the alpine village has to offer while also enjoying our first-class service and amenities, all starting with our signature, warm DoubleTree Cookie.”

Additional hotel features and amenities include:

DINING

Enjoy shareable plates and handcrafted cocktails from the hotel’s soon-to-open premier restaurant, Pivot62. The restaurant menu is centralized around the wood burning oven, with meals prepared from locally sourced ingredients to create elevated dishes the entire family can gather around.

Other dining options include Westside Café, serving casual American classics for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and Casa Mexico, opened for both lunch and dinner. Guests can also soon enjoy grab-n-go delights or room service from the Colorado Made Market, perfect for a quick breakfast or take-away lunch to enjoy on the mountain.
