About
Austria Haus sits on Gore Creek next to Vail Village's Covered Bridge, a two-minute walk from Gondola One. It's a Destination by Hyatt hotel that is still family-owned: 25 rooms and suites with the feel of a family-run chalet in the Austrian and Bavarian Alps, welcoming guests since the mid-1960s. The building also holds the separate Austria Haus Club condominiums and a few independent shops.
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 hotel's rooms 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.
The hotel and the Austria Haus Club
The Austria Haus Club is a separate operation in the same building: 18 fractional-ownership condominiums, run by the Club rather than the hotel. Its two-bedroom, three-bedroom and penthouse residences over Gore Creek rent through CoralTree Residence Collection, which the hotel's website links to, and they suit families and groups who need more room. Hotel rooms book through the hotel or Hyatt. Ownership and resale questions go to the Club at austriahausclub.com or (970) 477-5800.
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.
What Austria Haus doesn't have
There's no spa on site, no hotel shuttle and no full-service restaurant. Vail Village's spas and restaurants are a short walk away, and the hotel doesn't need a shuttle because it's in the middle of the village.
Breakfast and the lounge
A full breakfast buffet is included for up to two guests per room, served Monday to Friday 7 to 10 a.m. and weekends 7 to 11 a.m. 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
The destination fee is $50 per room per day (the hotel says it's subject to change, and Hyatt quotes it plus tax). It covers:
- Breakfast for up to two guests, with discounts for extra guests
- Wi-Fi, local and domestic long-distance calls, and business services
- Ski and bike valet, plus on-snow ski storage
- The pool, hot tub (towels included) and fitness center
- Coffee, tea and afternoon snacks in the lobby
- Daily housekeeping
- 20% off bike rentals at Vail Sports and 10% off Resort Delivery grocery delivery
- Tee-time booking at the private Red Sky Golf Club
- In-room boot fitting and ski delivery from Ski Butlers, at extra cost
Each guest beyond two per room pays $25 a night (over age 2). Parking is valet only, one vehicle per room, $45 a night in summer, with a 6-foot-9-inch garage clearance; taller vehicles use the town parking structure across the street. Check-in is at 4 p.m. and check-out is at 11 a.m. Pets aren't allowed except service animals. The whole property is non-smoking, and cancellation terms vary by season and length of stay.
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, an 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.
