Property Spotlight: Park Hyatt Beaver Creek

Location

One of the major selling points of The Park Hyatt Beaver Creek is its location right at the base of the mountain in the charming village of Beaver Creek. Shops, galleries and restaurants are right outside your doorstep. If you like sushi and seafood don’t miss dining at Hooked where fish is flown in within 24-hours of being pulled from the ocean. While known for their seafood and extensive drink list, I highly recommend saving room for the strawberry and cherry cobbler topped with vanilla ice cream and sweet potato (unexpected and oh so delicious).

The hotel is about 2.5 hours from Denver International Airport. During the winter months when contending with potential highway closures it’s especially recommended to fly into Eagle Airport which is 30 minutes away.

Room Categories

Rooms are scheduled to be renovated in the upcoming year so be sure to book with your advisor who can confirm details about your room, view and possibilities for connecting rooms. I absolutely loved my view over the village center, but some guests may prefer the pure serenity of the mountains to the bustling town or slopes lit up at night. There are 80 connecting rooms/suites with either King, Two Queen or Two Double beds.

Property Amenities

A little more on the apres-ski activities. The award-winning spa includes the famous Aqua Sanitas Roman Bath experience which includes five steps of soaks, steams and saunas. Ending with a rest on the heated stone chairs successfully convinced me to go ahead and book that last minute massage. You’ll want to make reservations in advance during peak season though. Other places to unwind include the outdoor heated pool and five hot tubs. Just past the lobby, is the Brass Bear Bar with floor to ceiling windows offering stunning views of the mountain, especially at sunset.

As mentioned, the hotel rooms are being renovated in phases. If you have specific requests be sure to mention them to your travel advisor. In room dining is available until 9 PM, but the Fall Line Epicurean Market located next to the lobby is open 24/7. Bar service at the Brass Bear Bar ends at 10 PM to be respectful of noise levels for guests staying in second floor rooms in close proximity to the lounge seating overlooking the bar and lobby. Pool seating is first come, first serve unless reserving a private cabana (summer only). Dining reservations are recommended for restaurants in the vicinity during peak season.

The concierge and your travel advisor are great resources to help organize seasonal activities during your stay at Beaver Creek. The Park Hyatt Beaver Creek is great for all ages, but the added convenience of getting on / off the slopes, as well as, the ski training area for beginners make it an ideal property for families to enjoy in the winter season.
