The newest club property is at the base of Vail Mountain in LionsHead Village and on the banks of Gore Creek. Featuring Vail’s traditional Bavarian-style architecture, which reflects ski resorts in Europe, The Ritz-Carlton Club, Vail offers two-, three- and four-bedroom Club residences.

Watzka, executive vice president and chief operating officer for The Ritz-Carlton Development Company, Inc. “Our Members have shared with us their desire to be in this exceptional location, and we are excited to bring it to them.”

Co-located with The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Vail, this spectacular property will afford Members all the comforts of a vacation home coupled with the personalized services and amenities of The Ritz-Carlton. Luxuries include the following: a dedicated concierge staff, including a ski valet and ski nanny; a fitness facility with a movement studio; Ritz-Carlton spa services and treatment rooms; Ritz Kids program; a great room with a fireplace and bar; a library; an outdoor heated pool and whirlpool spa; a fire pit and a heated underground garage with valet parking.

With an annual average of 350 inches of powder, more than 5,200 skiable acres, expansive back bowls and 15 miles of recreation paths, Vail has something for every member of the family including tubing, ski biking and ice skating. The new Ritz-Carlton Club, Vail is located within walking distance to the shopping and dining of LionsHead including the Arrabelle at Vail Square, and will eventually become part of the proposed pedestrian village named Ever Vail, the largest green and LEED-certified, multi-use resort project in the country.

Like most destination clubs, the Ritz-Carlton Destination Club members benefit from a high level of service as they are paired with their very own member experience manager who serves as their primary travel liaison and vacation planning consultant. The member experience concierge coordinates everything from airport pick-up and pre-arrival provisioning of the residence, to unpacking and pressing pre-sent garments and arranging a complete vacation itinerary.

The club offers two types of membership. A Portfolio Membership provides access to all the club locations and preferred access to more than 70 Ritz-Carlton hotels worldwide.
