Austria Haus Hotel

Vail has a great ski area and the lifts are within walking distance (also in ski boots ) ( circa 400m walk ) . The hotel is only about 150m from the shopping center and equipped with a underfloor heating car is not necessary, because it also ski bus stops, the we didn't require, run. All the restaurants and shops are within walking distance.

The staff is very friendly and always put in a lot of effort. We felt very welcome and valued guests and not just as cows. One receptionist even spoke excellent German. For a broken lamp in the room were taken care of immediately.

The Frühstückangebot was very comprehensive, different kinds of sausage and cheese. pretty good for US standards. The room felt more like a private living room with various sofas and a fireplace. In the foyer always coffee and water. The bar was alright D. R. Not busy, but the cozy breakfast room ( including 2 internet PCs) State for a private complimentary wine evening which is also available.

There is a small outdoor pool with jacuzzi and a well equipped fitness room. We did not use. The snow was exactly what we were expecting. Plentiful and fine, as it is not in Europe. This is the Anreiseaufwand worth it.

The rooms are not huge, but big enough. The Ski-boots will on the room, as there is no special room for them. Free wireless internet is available throughout the hotel and quite fast. Some have balconies, even a gas fireplace. Nice furnished, comfortable and warm. Because of the dry air was there will be strong Luftbefeuchten, which was very pleasant. The cleaning was carefully and free bottled water each day.

At Vail sports right on the elevator could be discontinued the ski free overnight. The Red Lion is great for apres ski and typical American food. The steakhouse at the bridge Russels has great steaks, but we had to book in advance as well visited. Tips are often automatically will be charged.
