Memorable Old World architecture and an actively European lifestyle were an inspiration when soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division returned to establish the ski resorts in North America. They were forever changed by their European travels and set about recreating these experiences as they started building new ski resorts. In Colorado the result was Vail – a resort that has been consistently recognized as the #1 Ski Resort in North America.
Evoking the romance and charm of this alpine heritage, the Founders of Vail saw their dream of a quaint European-inspired, pedestrian village become reality. Today, as a part of the Vail’s New Dawn, redevelopment plans for LionsHead will make way for the construction of The Arrabelle at Vail Square. Construction on The Arrabelle at Vail Square is scheduled to begin after the end of ski season in the spring of 2005, and its architecture and ambiance will continue to honor the European alpine roots that have made Vail such a beloved resort for over 40 years.
Vail, Colorado – 100 miles west of Denver on Interstate 70. 15 minutes east of Beaver Creek and 35 minutes east of Vail/Eagle County Airport.
Located at the heart of Vail Square only steps from the Eagle Bahn Gondola, and inspired by the ambiance and elegance of the grand hotels of Europe, The Arrabelle at Vail Square evokes the romantic heritage of the European Alps. This luxurious hotel will be owned and operated by RockResorts – which was recognized in 2004 with two of the highest rated ski resort hotels in North America (The Lodge at Vail and The Pines Lodge in Beaver Creek).
RockResorts will showcase its legendary personalized service at The Arrabelle and provide distinctive accommodations that have been richly appointed to embrace the European style that was its inspiration.
