Austria Haus Club and Hotel
Rate: $810 for a two-night stay with continental breakfast, not including airfare, taxes or fees on Orbitz
Don't be fooled by the old-world charm and European-style architecture of this hotel on the banks of Gore Creek. Along with coffered ceilings in the guestrooms and gas-log fireplaces, there are also heated marble floors in the bathrooms, Bose radios and complimentary wifi.
Not to forget the task at hand, the hotel is also just steps from the Vista Bahn chairlift so you can enjoy some epic terrain as well as the shops and restaurants in Vail's pedestrian village.
