The Arrabelle at Vail Square

Ok, listen. This is a nice hotel. But! It is way over priced for what you get. Concierge was rude and put out when we asked for help. The breakfast restaurant was very slow service, and my wife’s omelette was cold when they brought it out. We complained to manager but never heard back. Really what you’re paying for at this hotel is the location. It is very convenient to the slopes, but if you’re ok walking a bit further I would recommend saving yourself some cash and go elsewhere. Oh, the valet guys were actually the shining part of this experience. They were quite good and attentive! We were there in mid January so it wasn’t terribly busy.

First time here. Oh my goodness, this hotel is beautiful.
Gorgeous grounds, the staff was incredible. Truly incredible. They take care of everything you could possibly think of and are completely and utterly polite while doing so…
It was a bachelorette party, so we definitely took advantage of the 24 hour car service which is such a plus! I spent a good three hours in the spa, which was beautiful and relaxing and perfect and on and on and on. I would love the opportunity to go back here, especially in the off season when the rates are phenomenal.

My husband and I have stayed at the Arrabelle three times. The first two were when the hotel was new and we were very happy with the room, the service, the food, everything. We just drove up for an off season get away and were both dissatisfied. The service was still very good and the room was clean, however, the air ventilation system was off. The room was boiling hot most of the time, no matter where we set the thermostat. We tried opening the door to the outside but the room quickly became too cold. There was no humidity and so we both felt sick both nights we were there. We went over to the Hyatt in Beaver Creek for lunch one day and the air quality in the Hyatt was significantly more comfortable.
We feel that the main point of a hotel is to have a comfortable nights sleep and our sleep at the Arrabelle was far from comfortable.

I love the Arrabelle. I think it is probably one of the best situationally located hotels in the Vail valley, and its absolutely beautiful with excellent service. The restaurant is great, the rooms are beautiful, and in comparison with the room service at other equally rated hotels it is one of the best. Also, the views from almost any suite is incredible.

Had the most wonderful afternoon at the gorgeous pool today attended by the very gracious Emma. Can’t say enough about the excellent service, great attitude and fun atmosphere. Thank you Emma! You made it so!

My husband and I came here for our honeymoon during the off season in May.
Every detail made us feel pampered, relaxed, and extremely happy.
Our room was incredible and the view of the mountain you couldn’t possibly beat. We had a gas fireplace, bottle of wine and were set our first night. The next morning we booked an appointment for a couples massage. Their spa is absolutely amazing and a must if you stay here.
We kept our car in their parking garage the entire stay because their shuttle drivers will drive you anywhere you want to go and will pick you up.
Also, I believe this is the only resort that has a gondola right outside it’s doors.
The staff here is one of a kind. Every employee we encountered from the ones at the front desk to our shuttle drivers were friendly, professional and eager to help in any way they could. We seriously forgot we were even in Colorado and it felt more like Europe!
Thank you so much for helping us have a romantic and amazing honeymoon. I recommend this to anyone who appreciates excellent service and luxury.

My boyfriend and I have been to Vail many times, but this was the first time we stayed at the Arrabelle Resort, and it was nothing short of magnificent. The rooms are beautiful and well maintained with heated flooring in the bathroom to a personal iPad to utilize! But the thing that makes this resort so fantastic is the staff and their precision to detail. From the valets to the front desk to the individuals in hospitality, everyone is so accommodating and competent at their skill sets. We had room service and Emma, the person in charge of food services, was absolutely amazing! She made this incredible personal chocolate cake for us that looked like a piece of art work! We almost felt bad eating it, but we are glad we did, because it tasted as good as it looked. If you get the chance to stay here, do, you will not regret it. And order the chocolate cake from room service, it will make your day!

Terrific restaurant! Took a customer here during their mud season while at a Conference In Vail. Service was on point, food was excellent, and the art on the tables proved for some great entertainment. I will certainly be back next time I’m staying in Vail.

Came here for my first time in Colorado and I really enjoyed it for many reasons!
The room was more like a house then a hotel room, our room had a full kitchen (with every utensil possibly needed) washing/​drying machine, full living room, dining table, patio with BBQ and table. The room was very homie and clean.
They had a full gym which my bf and I used a few times during put stay. It had everything you would need while away on vacation including water at 3 diff temperatures at the water fountain lol! Loved that.
During our stay we also got massages and I got a facial at their spa with was also really relaxing, professional, clean and just had a great ambiance. Especially the coconut gelato at the end.
The mountain and chair lift is literally 5 steps away so that’s very convenient.
All in all this hotel was romantic, but could also be awesome for families or friends. Would definitely come back!

By far the most enjoyable stay at a hotel to date. From the valet staff to the staff at the front desk everyone was extremely courteous and pleasant. We booked our stay and were immediately blown away by our room (especially since we brought our dog with us). Our room had a gas fireplace that we were able to utilize with a bottle of wine prior to heading out for our dinner reservations. Despite having a dinner reservation, we were tempted to cancel and enjoy the space and luxury of our room. The hotel is centrally located right in Vail Square with easy access to hiking trails and walking distance to Vail Center for more dining options.
Will definitely be back!

Fantastic stay! This hotel is perfectly located for walking to near by stores, restaurants, ice rink & much more. If needed there is a free driving service to the nearby town for more dinning & shopping opportunities. Rooms are beautifully cozy, roomy & luxurious. There’s also a spa and roof top pool but unfortunately I can’t speak to theses amenities… yet.
Staff is incredible! They are beyond helpful. The hotel is pristine & the staff is top notch. This a yes all the way around.

Where the hell am I? Switzerland? France? Italy? No, you are in the heart of the Colorado Rockies. Vail village has changed a ton over the years and the Arrabelle has taken Vail Square and transformed it into a beautiful European town. I absolutely hate snow and decided we would give it a try 4^th of July week. Wouldn’t you know it, out and about wearing t-​shirt, shorts and flips and the snow started falling. Typical 4^th of July snow storm in Vail. No worries, ran our asses off getting back to the hotel and was able to warm up in our 800 sq ft room with fireplace. Every foot of this resort exudes class and charm. I really don’t know or really care what the locals think (hey, I grew up in CO and I can say that) but these resorts help the town and brings money and jobs to Vail. I would say I really want to come back in the winter peak season, but hell no, I would rather see snow in July.

Perfect wedding venue, the service was exceptional. Beautiful hotel and accommodations. Valet attendants went above and beyond! Food was out of this world.

Stayed here on 7÷1÷2013 weekend. Great place. 5 star all the way. Personals shuttle to the village. Stayed at the Four Seasons last time, which was great but expensive; will stay here next time. Highly recommend.

Service is amazing — front desk, valet, spa, all worked out beyond our expectations. I think I saw the valet a total of one times before he knew my name and was able to retrieve my car without asking for the ticket.
The Tavern on the Square is nothing special and in fact does not seem to fit into the general experience of the Arrabelle but I would not ding the rating on this one as being in Vail itself gives you so many other options.
The other great thing about staying here (through Exclusive Resorts) was access to the courtesy car. If you wanted to get to Vail square it was an easy and quick way of getting there if you wanted to forgo the 20 minute walk — they also provide return service with just a dial for pickup when you are ready.

What a gorgeous place! Great central location, lovely restaurant and bar inside, friendly valet and bell staff. Loved it.

Service was great. I love the guiness brownie! Big portions of food I didn’t like the alfredo sauce, just not enought, but the pasta was homemade and fresh.
Live music and great staff.

This place is incredible. 5 stars all the way!!! The employees are all super friendly, but my favorite part was the décor and architectural details throughout the entire hotel making it glamorous and still somewhat authentic mountain resort-​ish.

A very charming hotel! Very little to complain about (then again, for the price of the stay, there should be very little to complain about, haha). I would return.
Stayed a few nights in August. The room was lovely!.. quaintly equipped with: balcony, fire place, comfortable bed, large wardrobe closet, generous lighting options, spacious bathroom. I could have spent my entire holiday in the gorgeous bath alone! And the unique bath soaps imported up from their spa were a nice touch.
The lobby area is welcoming and grand. inviting décor is found throughout the hotel. The pool up top is a bit small and disappointing, but not so much that it would keep me from returning. It was a very relaxing and luxurious stay.
Oh, but one thing I would like to point out. during checkout, for someone who actually thoroughly glances over their final bill, I found it quite cheeky of the Arrabelle to automatically add in «donations» for each night stayed (to some forest service something or other). Okay, maybe not that big a deal, I let it slide. But I couldn’t help but find it a bit presumptuous and sneaky. asking the customer’s permission first would be the polite and classy thing to do.

This place gets the full 5 star rating even though staying there is kinda like staying in the Disneyland Castle. So we all know we don’t live in 17^th century France. But don’t tell anyone at the Arrabelle that. The place fits in perfectly in the WooWoo land setting of Lionshead Gondola-​ville in Vail.
The rooms are fit for Louie XIV. Fireplaces that you can turn on for variable amounts of set times; all glass shower stalls; soaking tubs with extension wands and built-​in arm rests; heated marble bathroom floors; first grade bathroom amenities; luscious overstuffed beds with high– count sheets and one of those Sun King-​like headboards with recessed reading lights; a private patio overlooking the mountain; and the list goes on and on and on.
Bottom line, got the whole shootin’ match for $ 129 a night over the Labor Day weekend from Travelocity (but add to that a $ 30 per day «resort fee» that included valet parking and super concierge services), and you’ve got
a helluva chi-​chi mountain deal.
For us simpler folks, Vail’s a once-​a-​year, at most, kinda experience, but if you’re gonna blow some $$$ on having a memorable time, staying at the Arrabelle is about the most reasonable way to do it.
