Lion Square Lodge in Vail is a long-standing favorite for travelers who want the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and authentic mountain charm. Sitting right at the base of Vail Mountain in Lionshead Village, it’s one of the few true ski-in/ski-out properties in the area. Step out of your room, click into your skis, and you’re practically at the Eagle Bahn Gondola—ready to start your day on the slopes.
Accommodations range from hotel-style rooms to spacious one-, two-, and three-bedroom condos, many featuring full kitchens, fireplaces, and balconies overlooking the mountains or the village. The individually owned units each have their own style—some modern and sleek, others cozy and rustic—but all are well-maintained and comfortable. Some units boast in-unit washer/dryer while there is also a shared laundry facility.
The three buildings at Lion Square Lodge offer slightly different settings:
- The East Building is closest to the ski yard with the most direct ski-in/ski-out access.
- The South Building overlooks the mountain and Gore Creek and is close to the pool and hot tubs.
- The North Building is closest to Lionshead Village and houses the fitness centre and additional hot tub.
After a day on the mountain, guests can unwind in the year-round outdoor heated pool, sauna or one of three hot tubs while taking in views of the slopes. The on-site Trail’s End restaurant serves up gourmet Mexican cuisine and adds a lively, convenient option for après-ski drinks or casual dining.
Lion Square Lodge also offers handy amenities like ski valet service, ski rental store (Charter Sports), a fitness room, and a welcoming lobby lounge area. Families and groups love the space and convenience, while couples appreciate the slopeside romance and cozy atmosphere. It’s an easy walk or short shuttle ride into Vail Village for dining, shopping, and nightlife, making it an excellent all-around choice for Vail visitors.
With its true ski-in/ski-out location, spacious residences and excellent Lionshead amenities, Lion Square Lodge in Vail remains a standout choice for a convenient Vail family ski holiday.
