  • Located at 675 Lionshead Place inside Vail’s Lionshead Village—steps from Born Free Express and Eagle Bahn Gondola.
  • Compact village location puts you immediately among shops, cafes and lift access.
  • Preferred airport is Denver Intl. (supplier listing); Eagle County Regional (EGE) is the nearer commercial airfield to Vail.

Rooms: Space, types and family fit

Grand Hyatt Vail Resort and Spa – Rooms

Grand Hyatt has a wide mix of 285 rooms and suites including multi-bedroom suites and family-friendly room types.

  • On-site laundry and pet-friendly policies, with children up to 18 staying free in existing bedding depending on booking terms.

If you need more room options, suites, or interconnecting rooms for families or groups, Grand Hyatt has greater variety.

  • Room names include Deluxe Room, Premier Room, Executive Room, Junior Suite, Arrabelle King Suite and multiple residence configurations (1–4 bedrooms).
  • Many residences and suites include fireplaces and heated floors; units often appeal to families or groups wanting apartment-style space.
  • Smaller hotel footprint means fewer total rooms and a more intimate guest experience.

Pick The Arrabelle if you want residence-style layouts or a compact luxury inventory in the village.

Dining & drinks: options and style

Grand Hyatt Vail Resort and Spa – Dining & drinks

Grand Hyatt offers a range of dining from casual grab-and-go to a steakhouse and Japanese fine dining.

  • Gessner is the resort’s all-day Contemporary Mountain Grill (breakfast, lunch, dinner).
  • Makoto Vail provides Edomae-style sushi and Japanese dinner service (reservations recommended).
  • Fireside Lounge and seasonal pool bars offer après-ski cocktails and casual bites.

Grand Hyatt is a better fit if you want a resort with multiple culinary venues on site.

The Arrabelle, A RockResort – Dining & drinks

  • Tavern on the Square serves lunch and dinner; a coffee shop/cafe covers casual needs.
  • Room service is offered during limited hours per supplier listing.
