Gessner
About
Gessner Colorado Mountain Grill is the everyday restaurant at the Grand Hyatt Vail, set beside Gore Creek in Cascade Village, about a mile west of Vail Village. The kitchen cooks Colorado ingredients with a European accent, a fitting nod to a town that was modelled on an alpine village.
It suits hotel guests and Cascade Village visitors who want a sit-down breakfast or an easy dinner without a shuttle ride, and families who need one menu broad enough for everyone at the table.
Breakfast to dinner by the creek
Gessner is where the hotel's day starts: the hotel lists breakfast classics alongside seasonal dishes built on local ingredients, served in a room with views of Gore Creek. It is the resort's practical all-rounder rather than a special-occasion room, which is exactly what a ski morning or a tired evening calls for.
Getting there
The restaurant sits inside the hotel at 1300 Westhaven Drive. Hotel guests have it on the doorstep; visitors staying in Vail Village or Lionshead will usually drive, and the hotel charges for both valet and self-parking. The FAQ below has the figures.
Choosing between the hotel's restaurants
Gessner is the relaxed, all-day option. For a dinner occasion, the hotel's Japanese restaurant, Makoto Vail, is the destination, and the Fireside Bar & Lounge in the lobby is the après stop. Gore Creek Market covers grab-and-go coffee and sandwiches.
Inside Grand Hyatt Vail
Gessner is part of Grand Hyatt Vail, the resort beside Chair 20 in Cascade Village, with a creekside pool, a spa and seven dining outlets. The hotel's own listing covers rooms, parking, fees and the full line-up of bars and restaurants.
