Nineteen acres on the Eagle River with a private gondola to Beaver Creek Mountain, the saltwater outdoor pool and three infinity hot tubs run year-round.
"Nineteen acres on the Eagle River with a private gondola to Beaver Creek Mountain, the saltwater outdoor pool and three infinity hot tubs run year-round."
The Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa opened in 2008 as the anchor of the Riverfront Village development in Avon, the cross-river-valley town that connects to Beaver Creek Mountain via a private gondola, a six-minute ride that has become the property's signature operational asset. The architecture is a deliberate modernist counterpoint to the timber-and-stone vernacular of the Beaver Creek village core: glass, steel, river-rock cladding, and a long lobby gallery that looks out across the Eagle River to the mountain. The site occupies nineteen acres along the river bend, the largest single-property footprint in the Vail Valley.
The 261 rooms and suites run across seven floors. Standard Mountain View rooms (440 square feet) are slightly larger than the Marriott portfolio average; the Premium River View rooms add deeper-set balconies looking onto the Eagle River. Suite categories begin at the Junior Suite (700 square feet) and run up through the Riverfront Suite and the named Eagle Suite (the property's flagship, 1,400 square feet, top-floor corner). Connecting Premium River View rooms are the standard family booking; suite categories cover the wedding-party, business-group, and anniversary brief.
Spa Anjali is the off-snow centrepiece, 21,000 square feet, with a treatment menu that draws on healing traditions from four continents (the Himalayan stone massage, the Alpine bee-pollen facial, the European hot-mineral hydrotherapy), and a hydrotherapy circuit that includes a Roman waterfall, eucalyptus steam, dry sauna, and the heated outdoor saltwater infinity pool that operates year-round. The three outdoor infinity hot tubs sit at the south edge of the pool deck looking onto the Eagle River. The Athletic Club (a 24-hour fitness centre) includes Pilates and yoga studios; a daily group-fitness programme runs from June through September.
Dining is anchored by Maya, Richard Sandoval's modern-Mexican restaurant on the lobby level, the only Sandoval property in the Vail Valley; the lobby fireplace lounge handles all-day informal dining and après-ski. The private Riverfront Gondola operates daily during the ski season, connecting the property to the Beaver Creek Landing base, and the property holds 19 acres of summer river access for paddleboarding, fly-fishing, and family programming. Forbes Recommended; AAA Four-Diamond. The property's signature operational asset is the gondola: Beaver Creek skiing without the village-floor pricing.
Family travel to the Vail Valley often defaults to the Westin Riverfront for the gondola alone: a private six-minute ride to the Beaver Creek base, with no public parking shuttle queue. The connecting Premium River View rooms cover the family-of-four configuration; the year-round saltwater pool runs as an in-property attraction in the off-snow months; Spa Anjali's family-and-kids programming covers parent treatments paired with children's recreation. Maya's children's menu is the most-developed of any Sandoval property.
Spa Anjali is the proposition: 21,000 square feet, a hydrotherapy circuit (Roman waterfall, eucalyptus steam, dry sauna, heated outdoor infinity pool), and a treatment menu rooted in four-continent healing traditions. The Spa Anjali signature ninety-minute Alpine Stone treatment uses heated river stones quarried from the Eagle; the Himalayan Salt Cave eight-person session is the property's most-distinctive group offering. Daily yoga and Pilates run year-round; the summer river-and-mountain programme adds paddleboarding and fly-fishing.
The Westin's 19,000 square feet of meeting space is the largest in the Vail Valley after the Hyatt Regency, with the riverside ballroom (capacity 600) the most-booked corporate-and-wedding venue in the valley. The lobby Wi-Fi, the dedicated business centre, and the lower-level conference rooms cover the working brief; the gondola-to-Beaver-Creek lift handles the team off-day; the Maya private dining room is the post-meeting venue.
