About

Pivot62 is the lobby lounge and restaurant of Highline Vail, a DoubleTree by Hilton, on the North Frontage Road in West Vail. The name comes from 1962, the year Vail opened, and the room is built for the in-between hours of a mountain trip: brick-fired pizzas and shareable plates, a bar with a long wine list, and a fireplace the hotel invites guests to work beside.

It suits hotel guests who want dinner without getting back in the car, groups splitting pizzas after a ski day, and anyone in West Vail looking for a relaxed drink. It is a hotel lounge rather than a destination restaurant, and that is its appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the hours of Pivot62, and do they change by season?
The hotel does not publish fixed hours for Pivot62 and asks diners to call the front desk for the latest times, (970) 476-2739, and that official position comes first because the schedule moves with the season. The documented pattern is dinner service from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.: daily through the main seasons (the Town of Vail's Fall 2026 guide lists Pivot62 daily 5-9, with no fall closure), reduced to Thursday to Sunday in the spring shoulder (the Town's Spring 2026 list). There is no breakfast service at Pivot62; breakfast at the hotel is at Westside Café. In the shoulder seasons especially, call before you go.
Which hotel is Pivot62 in, and where do I park?
Pivot62 is the lobby lounge and restaurant of Highline Vail, a DoubleTree by Hilton, at 2211 North Frontage Road West in West Vail. It is not part of The Hythe; the confusion is common and the answer matters because the two hotels are across town from each other. The name comes from 1962, the year Vail Ski Area opened. The hotel has on-site parking (it advertises ample parking as a West Vail advantage; no diner parking price is published), and hotel guests ride The Lift, the hotel's complimentary on-demand shuttle to Lionshead, Vail Village, and Golden Peak. The hotel's other dining is in the same building or beside it: Del Toro Mexican Cuisine, the Westside Café, and the 24-hour Made Market.
What is on the menu at Pivot62, and which pizzas does it serve?
Brick-fired pizzas and shareable Colorado-sourced plates. The nine pizzas are classic pepperoni, prosciutto with blue cheese and fig vinaigrette, Hawaiian, meat lovers, vegetarian, Margherita, BBQ chicken, cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, provolone), and buffalo chicken. Starters run to hand-breaded chicken tenders, wings, truffle fries, Brussels sprouts with bacon and balsamic, and empanadas (spinach and cheese, spicy chicken, or beef steak). There are sandwiches (the half-pound Snowboarder Burger, a fried chicken sandwich, Philly and Italian cheese steaks, grilled cheese with tomato soup), beef chili, beet and Caesar salads, and two desserts: New York cheesecake and a sundae built on warm DoubleTree cookies. The full menu is on the restaurant's page at highlinevail.com/pivot62; note that the hotel prints no prices on it (see question 6).
Is there a bar at Pivot62, and what does it pour?
Yes, a full bar and lounge around the lobby fireplace, and après is its home hour. The cocktail list runs to 13 drinks, including the Pivot 62 Old Fashioned, the Game Creek Manhattan, a Carajillo, mezcal drinks (Illegal Paloma, Oaxaca Caipirinha), a French 75, and a Rocky Mountain Mudslide. Wine pours by the 6-ounce or 9-ounce glass or the bottle (Cakebread and Hess chardonnays to Veuve Clicquot; Rodney Strong and Unshackled among the reds), draft beers pour in 16- or 20-ounce glasses with a strong Colorado bench (Upslope, Vail Brewing Company, Tivoli), and there is a dedicated mocktail list (Passionfruit Coconut, Shirley Temple, Coconut Lemonade Basil). The lobby also has shuffleboard, and the hotel invites guests to work by the fireplace during the day.
Do I need a reservation, and can I eat at Pivot62 if I am not staying at the hotel?
No reservation channel is published: Pivot62 is not on OpenTable or Resy, and the hotel takes no online table bookings for it, so treat it as walk-in and call the front desk, (970) 476-2739, for current hours and busy nights. You do not need to be a hotel guest: the hotel describes Pivot62 as a gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. Hotel guests have one extra option, a to-go order to take back to the room, which the hotel's dining overview offers. There is no delivery service. Groups and events are the exception to walk-in: those book through the hotel's events team (see question 9).
How much does a meal cost at Pivot62?
The honest answer starts with a gap: the hotel prints no prices on Pivot62's menu, so no exact figure on any page is sourced. The third-party signals agree with each other: Google's panel labels it $20-30 per person and Places rates it moderate. Read it as a mid-priced hotel lounge: pizzas and shareable plates, sandwiches and a half-pound burger, cocktails and a deep wine list, at West Vail hotel prices rather than Vail Village fine-dining prices. If a firm number matters, the front desk, (970) 476-2739, has the current menu with prices.
Is Pivot62 good for kids and families?
Yes, in the way a pizza lounge is: Hilton's family travel guide calls Pivot62's truffle fries and brick-fired pizzas "kid-approved" and frames it as the family dinner after a ski day, the room is casual, and the menu (pizzas, chicken tenders, fries, a warm DoubleTree cookie sundae) is built from food children actually eat. The caveats: there is no children's menu on the official menu, and evening service runs 5 to 9 p.m., so it suits an early family dinner rather than a late one.
Does Pivot62 have vegetarian or gluten-free options?
Vegetarian, yes: the menu carries a dedicated Vegetarian pizza (tomato, onion, mushroom, bell pepper) alongside the Margherita and four-cheese pizzas, spinach and cheese empanadas, truffle fries, beet and Caesar salads, and grilled cheese with tomato soup. Gluten-free needs the honest version: no dish on the official menu is labeled gluten-free and no gluten-free pizza base is mentioned, so this page does not claim gluten-free options the restaurant does not. Call the front desk, (970) 476-2739, before visiting if gluten is a hard constraint.
Can Pivot62 host a group dinner or a private event?
Yes, through the hotel's events team rather than the restaurant. The hotel sells Pivot62 together with its Fireside Lobby as 2,490 square feet of event space for welcome receptions, social gatherings, and corporate meetings; the Pivot 62 space alone is 1,225 square feet with a reception capacity of 100. Enquiries go by request for proposal through Highline Vail's meetings and events pages, and the hotel's Terrace Ballroom and Terrace Patio sit next door in the same events program for larger formats. Ordinary group dinners without an event booking are the lounge's everyday business: pizzas and shareable plates are built for splitting after a ski day.
