I travel to Vail annually and usually go in shoulder season which is in May. It is such a joy to be there without the crowds and at very reasonable prices. I will make Christiania my usual place since my visit this past week was perfect. The clerk up graded me to a suite for the same price as a... More

If you are looking for a boutique type hotel, there is none better in Vail. The best location with a caring staff. The property is less than 30 yards from the new gondola. The suites are spacious and are perfect for a family.

We have returned many years to the Christiana due to great location, excellent service and alpine atmosphere. This year's visit was most memorable. Service was warm and helpful, from the front desk to the guy who put away boots and skis, to the warm greeting we received each morning in the restaurant. Other review suggest the hotel is "dated". We... More

Probably best location in Vail. Essentially ski-in, ski-out. We liked our suite for ourselves and adult daughter, particularly having two bathrooms made it easy to get going every morning and night. Very good staff in the ski room. Helpful with boots and anything else. It has been over ten years since we were last at Christiania, and it still suits... More

Live in Colorado and have stayed in many hotels in the Vail area. Christiania is the worst property I have stayed in by far. Property is over-priced, dated, and the staff was not the least bit warm or friendly. Other than the location, there is nothing positive I can say about my experience at this hotel. Even the breakfast was... More

The location is great: Just a few steps from restaurants, shops, and the new Gondola One. The room was spacious, and the bed comfortable. But everything was a little dated. Especially the carpet and the bathroom. And I missed a coffee /hot water maker in the room. I booked a mountain view room, but I felt it was overpriced. It... More

We stayed in Unit 11 of Villa Valhalla and I posted a separate detailed review there (if anybody is interested in that particular unit or building you can search for it) so this review will be more general. I will not go into the details of the unit, as it’s privately owned and other units maybe different, but the building... More

Finally found a place with the atmosphere of our old favorite, Willows, before it was changed into 5 million dollar condos. Staff ever ready to handle every need. Lovely continental breakfast with fresh berries, hot homemade oatmeal, great pastries, and good coffee. Large hot tub, right on the slope at the village.

Thank you for your kind words... Just for clarification we are ski in/ ski out property. The new Gondola One is right outside our back door. It is 30 yards away and takes less than 30 seconds to walk there. Thanks again and hope to see you here again soon. More
