Austria Haus
About
Austria Haus sits on Gore Creek next to Vail Village's Covered Bridge, a two-minute walk from Gondola One. The family-owned property holds a 25-room boutique hotel, 18 private club condominiums and a few independent shops, and it has welcomed guests since the mid-1960s, with the feel of a family-run chalet in the Austrian and Bavarian Alps.
It suits couples, small families and wedding parties who want a central, walkable address and personal service rather than a large resort. No two of the 43 rooms, suites and condos are quite alike.
Rooms and residences
Hotel rooms have exposed beams, private balconies and heated marble bathroom floors, and some add a fireplace. Suites add a sitting area, and the largest sleeps six with a king, a queen Murphy bed and a sleeper sofa. From time to time, some of the two- and three-bedroom Austria Haus Club condos overlooking Gore Creek are also offered through the hotel's website, which suits families and groups who need more room.
Skiing
Gondola One is a short walk away, and the hotel keeps a complimentary ski valet with slopeside storage at the gondola base, so skis and boots are waiting there each morning. That is walk-to-lift, not ski-in/ski-out.
Breakfast and the lounge
A hot and cold breakfast buffet is included and served in the Gore Creek Lounge and Library, which looks toward the mountain and has coffee and tea all day, fresh cookies and an après bar. There is also an outdoor gas grill for guests who want to cook dinner, and a heated outdoor pool and hot tub over Gore Creek, open year-round.
Before you book
A daily destination fee per room covers breakfast for up to two guests, and a per-person fee applies above two. Valet parking is on site at a seasonal rate; oversized vehicles use the town parking structure across the street. Pets are not allowed, except service animals, and cancellation terms vary by season and length of stay. The FAQ below has the details.
Weddings
Austria Haus presents itself as a wedding-weekend base rather than a venue: the 25 rooms keep a party together within walking distance of village venues, and the hotel takes wedding room requests.
Connected establishments
Loaded Joe's operates on the Austria Haus property, serving specialty coffee, lunch and later-day meals with a happy hour. It suits a casual lunch or an early evening drink without leaving the building.
Sundae's Ice Cream Shop is also on the property, for ice cream after a day out. It has no VailVacay listing yet.
Also among the shops at Austria Haus: Blitz Boutique and Skipper & Scout.
