<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3873/Four_Seasons_Resort_Vail.jpg" class="top"> Last time we mentioned the future Four Seasons Resort Vail, we'd heard you could be skiing up to the Four Seasons' door by <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/4/7/144754/5140/hotels/Bright_Sun_Bitchin_Powder_and_A_New_Vail_Resort">2009</a>. Latest reports have the resort opening during summer 2010 (hmm, just not in time for the ski season!) but at least we can see on the <a href="http://residences.fourseasons.com/residence_clubs/vail/residence_club/floor_plans___views/construction_updates/">Four Seasons Residence Club</a> website that there is definite progress being made.For the non-residential guest (that means most of us), the Four Seasons Vail will include a choice of 121 rooms, plus tons of amenities like a full service spa and fitness club, a 75-foot lap pool in a sunken courtyard, a ski and snowboard concierge, fine dining restaurant and plenty of parking and gear

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/17697/vail_mountain_lodge.jpg" class="top"> For the ski bunny type, Vail might be synonymous with winter. But summer? Eh, not so much. The <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Vail+Mountain+Lodge+And+Spa/ian/219413">Vail Mountain Lodge & Spa</a>, however, begs to disagree. The 20-room boutique hotel, perched on the banks of Gore Creek in Vail Valley, has a few goodies up its sleeves to lure summertime guests. The Mountain Family Fun package makes the best of the season with rock-climbing access and climbing lessons, spa treatments, and organic fare for re-fueling. The package rates start at $445 per night, which includes three nights lodging (so really, we guess, $1,335 for all three nights), dinner for four at gourmet restaurant Terra Bistro, two semi-private climbing lessons, two spa treatments or two

Vail Gets More Luxury Hotels, We Get No Closer to Affording Them

The ritzy ski town of Vail, Colorado is in the middle of a "renaissance" — which, we assure you, is exactly what you may suspect: a lovely and fancy way of saying there is a lot of construction going on to build a few luxury hotels and to turn Vail Village into a cute little European-looking scene (it might look kinda like Disney world, but with more fur coats).

According to the Vail Daily News, the new Four Seasons on the way is slated for completion in late 2009 (hopefully in time for next year's ski season) and a new Ritz-Carlton will be ready in November 2010.
