Christiania Lodge

We love the ski in ski out option, closeness to slopes and the pool/hot tub facing the slopes. Auch a unique austrian looking property. Comfortable and plenty of space. One downside this year to our stay 4 years ago was no breakfast service, unless you paid for it. 4 years ago it was included and plentiful.

The hotel is located right in the heart of town and you can walk to everything in the village. There is a classic, old ski-lodge charm to the place that feels really charming. The staff is super friendly - it doesn't feel like a typical hotel, but rather a smaller European Boutique lodge. Will definitely go back!

Everything you may need for a great ski vacation. Location is awesome, our room was spacious and clean, the bed was comfy with a great view. Solid wood, handcarved furniture throughout and a true Swiss Chalet vibe. Heated pool and tub offer apres ski fun. Appreciated the protein bars that were out for grabs. Wish there was a microwave in the breakfast area that guests could use as well as a gym. All in all, I feel we got great bang for our bucks.

The location is excellent. It's right next to Gondola One. The heating in the room broke and the room was freezing cold. The bathroom made a loud whining noise a few times every night. The room was next to the street so you'll hear people late at night. The water temperature in the shower jumps up and down so you will freeze or burn yourself. To access the outdoor car park you must first walk inside to get a special key which is a bit inconvenient. Also you're not guaranteed a parking spot which is ridiculous if you're paying extra for it. The room is old and shabby but it's cozy.

Great property to stay during skiing trip. Very close to the lift and all the stores.

The "lodge" web site had noted more than a few things that are not true and were not available during our stay. Items and services that are standard at most other similarly priced lodging in Vail. This is not the way to retain clients.... I truly cannot recommend your lodge at this point. Falsities from the web site: -- "Breakfast will be offered and served by Big Bear Bistro in Sarah's Lounge at the lodge. (winter only - surcharge applies)" Not True- very limited and only on specific days of the week No juices....one poor young person cooking on a hot plate.....very sad showing for sure - "Bellman services (winter only): Did not exist and received no help with our bags on check in - "Complimentary winter ski valet" Yes a ski room but no Valet present or offered for our skis- and the room needed a good update and cleaning... many of the racks were broken and in disrepair. - "Full bar in Sarah's Lounge (open during ski season only for après)" Never open during our stay of four nights and did not appear to have been for a while yet you advertise it as such. The last insult.... - lodge reservations are subject to a 7.2% resort fee which covers varying services at the property. What services is this covering at this time? Very insulting.... for pool towels... that is the only thing offered outside of the trash being taken from our room daily. I know that my basic thought of this would be included in room cost. The only plus was the location near the gondi 1. If you folks will make this right it would be amazing... i can see why hyatt bailed... sent a note a month ago about it.

The room we were given was in the basement. I could easily touch the basement ceiling (I'm 5'9"). The windows were at the level of the front dirt-bed along a very busy sidewalk. The shades needed to be drawn at all times or else people could see in (like the first floor of a motel 6). At night, the area outside the front of the hotel is the spot for Uber's to pick up people leaving Vail Village. Needless to say, it was a drunk-fest outside our window until about 2am every morning. The lighting in the room was dark and the room was in desperate need of refurbishing/updating. The floor board radiators were broken and the carpet torn. We paid for the deluxe suite and requested a king-size bed as this was an option on the booking website. The manager told us that none of the deluxe suites had a king-size bed. The manager was rude and not interested in our repeated request for a different room. She also stated that we were given a basement room because we booked via a "third party". We didn't have the breakfast as this consisted of a person cooking on a single burner hot plate behind an old bar. You will be waiting in a single file line if you want something warm to eat. Certainly don't prepay for breakfast, as the menu options were all below $15 which was the cost of breakfast when we did our booking. In the end, we left a night early of our 4 night stay as the room situation became intolerable. This hotel needs a new hotel.

Location, location! So close to everything and yet it’s a step back in time. Charming furniture, artwork and common spaces. Beautiful decor, lovely bedding and a fireplace and private balcony in our room. What’s not to LOVE!! We will be back!

It is one of the oldest hotels in Vail, actually the third one built. Location can't be beat. Right in the core of Vail next to shops, restaurants and the main lift line.
