- “Should you decide to upgrade to the full buffet with juice and coffee, which normally costs $42 per person for a non-elite member, you'll pay an $18 upcharge as a guest with Platinum Elite status. I decided against this upgrade since the extra charge felt pricey, especially since that same amount could cover breakfast (minus the tip) elsewhere.” 24
- “The majority of visitors agree that The Hythe, a Luxury Collection Resort, Vail is a great value for its location, describing the guest rooms as comfortable and clean.” 9
- “The Hythe's provided SUV transportation around Vail deserves its own section. I used the house car four different times - twice from the hotel and twice to get back to the property - and I never found myself waiting more than a few minutes. Obviously, your wait may vary at peak times, but it was an extremely convenient way to get around for cheap.” 24
- “I've already mentioned there's a resort fee of $50 per day, which is quite annoying, but one of the things it included was this Hythe-branded hat that was awaiting me in the room.” 24
- “Highlighting that a prime ski property in Vail is expensive feels akin to ensuring you're aware that snow is cold, but the price in points or cash to stay at The Hythe is definitely a barrier to enjoying the property more frequently.” 24
- “Situated on prime Vail real estate, The Hythe is an expensive place to stay during ski season, whether you plan on paying with points or cash.” 24
- “While the location is mostly great, it lacks the ski-in/ski-out access you get at the similarly priced Ritz-Carlon, Bachelor Gulch and The St. Regis Deer Valley. Although you'll enjoy free use of a ski valet, to get to the mountain, you're going to have a walk a little way in ski boots, which could be a touch annoying for the price, especially if you have little kids and all their gear in tow.” 24
- “you know I've got the windows open and had the windows open the other night I mean there's no bugs up here so it's incredible in the cool mountain breeze but it's very quiet here very quiet” On camera84:22
- “I chose the breakfast. It's a buffet style with an omelette station. The lady was really nice and the omelets were on point.” 23
- “Two on-premise restaurants serve great food in a luxurious atmosphere.” 3
- “i highly recommend the colorado breakfast burrito it's the biggest breakfast burrito that i think i've ever seen and it's delicious” On camera181:11
- “The on-site food options, especially from Margie's Haas and its connected lounge, are also above average.” 24
- “Shortly after arriving, I decided to try ordering room service for lunch. It was not only tasty but arrived within the stated 30-minute window, which is really all you can ask for from room service.” 24
- “Although the menu itself was a bit limited, as it only offered a few basics, I thoroughly enjoyed the dishes I ordered. The hummus ($16) was quite delicious, and the burger off of the kids menu ($14) was more than enough for a hungry adult, so plan your order accordingly.” 24
- “For dinner, I tried the venison and wild boar sausage ($18), raclette cheese ($24), wedge gem lettuce with salmon ($26) and other savory items - all were winners.” 24
- “When the staff learned of my pre-dawn departure, they arranged a to-go breakfast bag packed with an egg-and-cheese bagel sammie, granola bars, bananas, and water, plus a steaming cup of coffee.” 14
- “Brunch is also delicious, especially on the stone patio in the summer.” 10
- “I was a huge fan of the quick-service Mountain Ration eatery, as it was a fast, convenient place to use my Platinum Elite breakfast benefit. Pre-ski mornings can be quite rushed, so being able to use the breakfast perk for a drink, an entree and a snack (for up to two in the room) was pretty handy.” 24
- “On our slow, ski-free morning, I enjoyed a bountiful breakfast from Margie's Haas, which included eggs, thick cuts of bacon, sourdough toast, and a cappuccino that went down so easily.” 5
- “The resort's outdoor pool earns high praise from families, while weary powder hounds seriously appreciate the on-site ski valet.” 9
- “The service was superb overall, though the main course (a salad) came out slower than expected given the simplicity of the dish and how few patrons wer” 24
- “The accommodations are lovely, the staff is so helpful, and you couldn't be in a better location.” 5
- “Ski valet (which is a must).” 15
- “This boutique hotel in Vail Village cares about the small things, including a hot chocolate bar at the front desk.” 14
- “After a long day of travel, it was a treat to be greeted with such kindness at the check-in desk at The Hythe, which, BTW, is a Destinations by Lexus partner hotel.” 5
- “The valet attendants were professional & speedy as they unpacked our luggage & ski gear.” 12
- “nice tidal shower with a super strong shower head and they have eco-friendly large bottles of molten brown amenities” On camera181:33
- “Valets in the driveway hustle to help unload and park your car; the front desk is similarly friendly.” 10
- “The steak at the Revel was amazingly good. Usually in Colorado I pay $28 for a basic steak. $42 for a delicious steak, $60 for a birthday kind of steak, $80 for an anniversary steak.” 23
- “The hotel attendant was posh & accommodating and ensured we had everything we needed prior to heading to our room.” 12
- “Four-hundred thread count Egyptian cotton and fluffy down duvets make for plush beds, and each room comes with posh bathrobes and slippers.” 10

- “we going to look one more time out this at this foliage before we wrap up this video I'm going to actually go ahead and take the camera and put it outside hopefully I don't drop it but I'm going to go right outside the window just so you can see this gorgeous view” On camera813:44
- “The rooms, while nicely appointed, are a bit small, especially if you are in a standard room with a family as I was on a previous visit a couple of years ago.” 24
- “nice big table you can sit on the couch and order your in-room dining and your room service” On camera181:06
- “this is a great Suite if you're coming with your family CU there's a two-bedroom over there and then there is a I don't know if it's a one or two there so you could have a family here and have three rooms” On camera81:29
- “Entry-level rooms span just 300 square feet, so if you crave space, it's worth upgrading. Bi-level lofts are great for friends or families, and the three-bedroom penthouse suite feels like a private chalet.” 14
- “My upgraded room featured a mix of modern and rustic elements, including wooden window trim, metal light fixtures, a sleek leather-upholstered headboard and a stone fireplace with antlers mounted above the mantel.” 24
- “From the moment I walked into our suite (complete with the king bed of my dreams), I felt like I was being enveloped in a knitted sweater. The wood accents, the plaid pillows, and the moody lighting left your girl snug as a bug in a rug.” 5
- “We love a hotel that cares about our furry friends as much as we do. Our Suite had 2 balconies which boasted grandiose views of the snow dusted Rocky Mountains.” 12
- “The opening of the Hythe levels the playing field, and you can't beat the hotel's location-a short walk from the Eagle Bahn Gondola and ice skating rink.” 14
- “The renovated common spaces were very well done and perfectly blend the area's history with modern-day touches that feel authentic to the location, so you'll feel comfortable as you enjoy all that Vail has to offer.” 24
- “Location was another obvious strength of the property, not only in proximity to the lifts but also to restaurants, some shops and the outdoor ice skating rink.” 24
- “1 to five pearls on location oh five five pearls yeah you can't give this any more or any excuse me any less than five pearls just location's incredible” On camera83:33
- “The location is unbeatable, wedged between its superior sibling and neighbor, Ritz-Carlton Club, and the fabulous Four Seasons, and part of Lionshead Village.” 26

- “comfy cozy bed to sink into and snooze all night long good rest so you can wake up refreshed every morning for more snowboarding” On camera181:19
- “I also appreciated having access to multiple outlets by the king-size bed, which was topped with crisp white linens and plenty of pillows to drift away on while dreaming of the next day's runs.” 24
- “I had the most stunning view of white mountains and snow-dusted pine trees, but the swankiest part?” 5
