The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch

Set in the heart of the majestic Rocky Mountains on a quiet mountainside, The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch offers guests the perfect alpine retreat. Here, no detail is overlooked - from the The Bachelor Gulch Spa complex to the myriad of dining options (three restaurants, two bars and a cafe!), this resort packs the luxury you'd expect from a Ritz-Carlton resort into every inch of the beautiful property. Guests will also enjoy unbeatable ski-in and ski-out access to the Beaver Creek resort, an exclusive partnership with Red Sky Golf Club and the Ritz Kids program, sure to entertain younger travelers.

The guest rooms, suites and penthouses at Bachelor Gulch all boast magnificent views of either Vail Valley or the mountain.

Enjoy activities such as golf, fly fishing, white-water rafting, mountain climbing, horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, hot-air ballooning and kayaking when the weather warms up.
