Lionshead Village's largest hotel — 343 rooms steps from the Eagle Bahn Gondola, recently rebranded from the Vail Marriott Mountain Resort to The Hythe, a Luxury Collection Resort, Vail under Marriott's Luxury Collection programme. Same building, full Luxury Collection re-spec.
"Lionshead's largest hotel — 343 rooms steps from the Eagle Bahn Gondola. Now The Hythe under Marriott's Luxury Collection, with full re-spec across the rebrand."
The property at 715 West Lionshead Circle has operated as Lionshead Village's largest hotel for several decades — through ownership cycles as the original Vail Lionshead Inn, then the Vail Marriott Mountain Resort across the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s, and now as The Hythe, a Luxury Collection Resort, Vail under Marriott's Luxury Collection programme. The Hythe rebrand brought a comprehensive re-spec of the property's public spaces and a meaningful refresh of the room inventory; the operational programme moved from Marriott Bonvoy core to the Luxury Collection brand standard, with white-glove service additions, the Luxury Collection Concierge programme, and an updated dining and spa programme. The building's footprint and lift access remain unchanged.
The 343 rooms span Standard Rooms (the largest inventory category), Junior Suites, One-Bedroom Suites, and the named multi-bedroom Suites and condominium-style accommodations that anchor the upper floors. Every room without exception has a gas fireplace, large soaker tub, walk-in shower, and either a Lionshead Village aspect or a Vail Mountain south-facing exposure. The Hythe rebrand re-spec'd standard rooms with new finishes and contemporary mountain-modern textiles while preserving the building's signature room dimensions. The Junior Suites with corner exposures and the One-Bedroom Suites with full kitchens are the headline upgrade categories for honeymoons and milestone-anniversary stays.
Dining post-rebrand centres on the property's contemporary American kitchen and the Luxury Collection-spec'd lobby bar; the seasonal pool café and the in-room programme through 24 hours round out the brief. Margie's Haas Spa runs the property's full treatment programme across multiple treatment rooms; an indoor pool, a heated outdoor pool with hot tubs, eucalyptus steam, and a fitness centre complete the amenity stack. The Eagle Bahn Gondola is sixty seconds on foot from the property's ski-storage room — the same gondola the Arrabelle accesses from its own ski-storage on the Vail Square pedestrian arc.
The position is the property's strongest argument and the second commercial pillar. The Eagle Bahn Gondola is sixty seconds on foot; Vail Square pedestrian core (and the Arrabelle's skating rink courtyard) is two minutes; Vail Village's Bridge Street and Gondola One are a six-minute walk along the creek path; Beaver Creek is twenty minutes by car; Eagle County Regional Airport thirty-five. For travellers who weight Marriott Luxury Collection cachet, the Eagle Bahn Gondola proximity, the largest single-property room inventory in Lionshead, and the post-rebrand re-spec equally, the Vail Marriott / The Hythe is the answer at this price point.
The Hythe's Two- and Three-Bedroom Suites with full kitchens, dedicated kids' rooms, and the Eagle Bahn Gondola sixty seconds from the door cover the family ski-week brief efficiently. The Vail Square skating rink is a two-minute walk; the Lionshead pedestrian core's restaurants are within five minutes; Vail Mountain ski school via the Eagle Bahn handles the kids' programme. The 343-room scale means inventory is generally available even on shorter lead times.
For Vail honeymoons at the Lionshead-position five-star tier, the Junior Suites and One-Bedroom Suites at The Hythe are the room category. Gas fireplace, soaker tub, balcony or terrace; the post-rebrand contemporary American kitchen handles the dinner; Margie's Haas Spa's couples' programme handles the morning. Marriott Bonvoy points booking is competitive on shoulder weeks.
For Vail bachelor and bachelorette weekends pricing the Lionshead hotels against each other, The Hythe's multi-bedroom Suites and condominium-style configurations handle group bookings of six to ten without compromising on private bedrooms. The Lionshead après-ski cluster and the Vail Square skating rink handle the on-property and adjacent programme; the Eagle Bahn Gondola at the door for ski mornings.
