We visited the brand new Arrabelle at Vail Square resort and retail plaza yesterday for the first time since its January 5th completion, expecting to be blown away. Instead, dust was blown in our faces from all the construction.

We had our eyes peeled for the fabled Ski Nannies (we assumed they would morph into like, hiking nannies or rafting nannies or something since it's summertime), but they were nowhere to be found.

But that was the least of our problems: we couldn't find the front door, either. ]]> Jenna 2008-06-19T16:45:01-05:00 39.642812 -106.39038 Avon: Vail Hotel Scene :: The Westin Riverfront Is Coming Along Slowly http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/6/17/124439/598

Last summer, we checked up on the Westin Riverfront Resort and Spa, a massive 19-acre condo-hotel development at the base of Beaver Creek Mountain (near Vail) slated to be completed "Summer 2008."

It's gonna be a stretch. ]]> Jenna 2008-06-17T13:40:42-05:00 Vail: Ski Nannies on Hand at the Arrabelle Resort in Vail http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/11/13/125127/42 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/ArabelleGuest_copy.jpg" class="imgborder"><p>Vail is getting a little bit of Aspen-esque luxury digs for its snow bunnies with money.<p><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Arrabelle+At+Vail+Square/ian/261355"><b>The Arrabelle at the Vail Resort</b></a> will open on January 5, 2008.
