The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch

We really enjoyed our weekend stay! It was my husband and I for our anniversary. We really enjoyed our room, it had a lovely view. Even though it was the beginning of off season we loved the room service and lobby bar! We can’t wait to come back, maybe with our kids next time!

I have stayed in many Ritz Carlton‘s before, and I believe the housekeeping/maintenance did not live up to the standards. Our curtains were ripped both inside and blackout curtains. There were stains on the carpet. There were chips all around the bathroom mirrors and the bathroom doors were dusty and needed washed down . I understand they were getting ready for season however the hotel was not too full Capacity, not even close they could have checked the room and put us in one that was Ritz Carlton perfection.

Three words: Perspective. Context. Expectation. We are not who you’d usually expect to stay at a Ritz-Carlton. We’re a hard working middle class couple from rural Ohio. We saved up for a long time to finally have a honeymoon after 13 years of marriage. This was also our anniversary trip. Off season rates are the only way we could afford to stay at this gorgeous resort. We knew that the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Ritz-Carlton were renowned for their tremendous levels of service. What we did not expect was how warm, welcoming, and casual that personalized service would be. Unlike another luxury property we stayed at in Vail, the Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch welcomed us with open arms with no judgments of our status. The staff genuinely seemed interested to get to know who we are and make sure we were truly happy. Simply, everything exceeded our wildest expectations. We actually wished we spent the whole week here rather than splitting it with the other property in Vail. There was absolutely no reason to leave the resort. Everything we needed or wanted was here. We received truly tremendous service from Johnny and Matias at Wyld. Win from the Great Room. Nolan from in room dining. Angel from housekeeping. Nik from valet. Cheyenne from Sakaba. You all made us feel like we were visiting family. You welcomed us into your home.

What an incredible stay my husband and I just had at this beautiful resort. We decided to come for my birthday week, all the way from Florida, and it was one of the best trips we’ve had in many years. From the food, to the service, to the staff, this Ritz Carlton is absolutely top notch. Every single staff member there was exceptional in the way we were treated and the obvious way they took pride in how they feel about working for this beautiful property. When they found out it was my birthday, they went out of their way to make me feel special!!! The food at the bar and at Wyld was just delicious, and on my birthday, they sang to me, brought me a waffle with a candle, and a sweet gift. Diana and Hazel were just incredible, and greeted us each day with the kindness smile and phenomenal service. Our suite was gorgeous, the hotel is stunning, and the grounds are just so beautiful. I was so sad to leave after 5 days that I actually cried on the way to the airport. I would recommend you visit this magical resort and treat yourself to such a special time.

The Ritz never disappoints and this location more than lives up to that. Rooms are great, comfortable, newly decorated, outstanding mattresses and spotless. The people that work there are outstanding.....friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and go out of their way to accommodate you. The restaurant we ate at the most was in the hotel, Wyld, and the meals we ate there were some of the best we've had in years. The level of service is great. The spa is something you should visit, really outstanding and the daily guided hikes are something you don't want to miss. Looking forward to our next visit!!

The Ritz in Avon is definitely a Colorado classic worth seeing . This was our second time visiting this magnificent property . It is situated in the mountains with spectacular views . The staff is excellent and very friendly . The property is well kept. The lobby is an example of what a Colorado living room would look like - cozy , rustic and chic . You can literally walk out of the outside area and hike straight up the mountain . Bring water and a rain poncho for our normal Colorado weather . We live in Denver, so it is a quick trip for us . The gym is awesome and spa is beautiful. My gym rat of a husband said that it was one of the best hotel gyms - and he travels all over the world . Areas for improvement: 1) more lunch menu options -healthier foods 2) breakfast buffet could use a little expanding - more salads and protein shakes 3) Better hiking maps Overall a lovely get away
