Austria Haus in Vail is one of those boutique gems that perfectly captures the spirit of Vail Village—elegant yet inviting, luxurious yet relaxed.
Styled after traditional Austrian chalets, the hotel combines European alpine character with modern comforts, including exposed beams, plush bedding and heated marble bathroom floors. Rooms at Austria Haus are elegant and comfortable, featuring rich wood furniture, deep soaking tubs, and balconies overlooking either the mountains or Gore Creek. Select units feature fireplaces and additional living space. It’s small enough to feel intimate, with fewer than 25 rooms and suites, ensuring personalized attention and a home-like atmosphere. Guests enjoy a complimentary expanded European-style breakfast, along with afternoon coffee, tea and snacks.
Guests love the seamless access to skiing—Gondola One is just a two-minute walk away, meaning you can linger over breakfast before hitting the slopes. After a long day on Vail’s legendary terrain, the heated outdoor pool and creekside hot tub are ideal for a soak, especially when snowflakes are falling. Inside, the lobby lounge with its roaring fireplace feels like a private mountain retreat, and the complimentary après-ski snacks add a thoughtful touch.
There is no full-service restaurant on-site, but there is coffee and an artisanal ice cream shop within the property. Vail Village’s restaurants and famous après-ski spots are just steps away.
Whether you’re here for a romantic ski weekend or a relaxed alpine escape, Austria Haus in Vail manages to strike that elusive balance between sophistication and comfort. It’s a hotel that feels like part of Vail’s history yet delivers the modern amenities today’s travelers expect.
