Steamboat Gondola Residences offers one of the more convenient ways to combine condo-style accommodation with the amenities and location of a full-service mountain resort. The residences occupy the 6th and 7th floors of the Sheraton in Steamboat’s Mountain Village. As a result, skiing, dining and après are right outside the building.
The residences are individually owned and furnished, so there isn’t a single design style across the collection. Expect private balconies, full kitchens, living areas and comfortable bedrooms, with the size and configuration depending on the particular condo. Some residences are particularly well suited to families or longer stays, while others offer a more compact setup. Views are a consistent strength, with many units overlooking the mountain or village.
What makes Steamboat Gondola Residences especially appealing for a ski trip is the combination of private condo space and access to the Sheraton’s facilities. Guests can use the outdoor heated pool, hot tubs and fitness center. In addition, the building also has restaurants, bars and other resort amenities. There is underground parking for one vehicle per residence. Moreover, a complimentary winter shuttle is available for trips beyond the base area.
One caveat for staying at Steamboat Gondola Residences is that these are a collection of condos within a larger hotel rather than a conventional hotel stay. Hotel-style services such as the front desk, concierge, room service and valet are not included with individual residences. However, guests do have access to many of the building’s other amenities.
For skiers, the location is unbeatable. The residences have direct access to the Steamboat gondola and ski area, so you’re barely steps from the action. Ski rentals and storage are also available within the Sheraton complex. This adds another layer of convenience.
Overall, Steamboat Gondola Residences is a fantastic choice for families who want the space and flexibility of a condo without sacrificing the convenience of a major ski-in/ski-out base-area property.
