With its stone walls and mesmer- izing lights, the cave-like setting had a somewhat euphoric atmo- sphere.

As the team promised, I imme- diately felt its healing properties as soon as my skin hit the water.
The spa oasis features 19 treatment rooms, relaxation lounges with steam rooms, saunas and plunge pools, and the co-ed grotto. I was in heaven and happy to indulge in the grotto on my own. Signature treatments incorporate locally sourced herbs, plants, and minerals, including activated charcoal sourced in Colorado mines. Tucked within Beaver Creek Mountain, the resort spa offers a 21,000-sq.-ft. At this resort, nature is a healer for both the body and spirit. Kids roamed the premises with just as much excitement as the adults.Īfter a quick tour of the resort, I dropped my bag in my room (which had a glorious view overlooking the outdoor pool and chairlifts) I was anxious to take a dip in the infamous stone-lined grotto. But, besides all of the wonderful amenities, one thing that struck me was the families milling around. From daily guided hikes with an on-site naturalist, high-altitude treatments at the world-class spa, as well as yoga and wellness classes-to a brand-new mountainside terrace, weekly Earth to Table outdoor dinners, private culinary experiences at Anderson’s Cabin, access to a world-class golf course, and featured special events and activities throughout the summer season, there’s never a shortage of things to do. The hotel caters to many visitors during the winter, but when the snow melts, there are a ton of exuberant activities, too. Right away, I knew I was in for a 5-star stay. Hence, the hotel was very warm and welcoming-and I noted that the staff obviously loves working there.
The décor reflected the perfect combination of eclectic and elegant. Even sans skiing, the atmosphere was extremely inviting. A talented musician happily entertained patrons by singing and playing his guitar almost like a campfire vibe, but much more upscale. I was immediately impressed by the open-concept lobby which led into the Great Room-boasting a beautiful wood-trimmed ski lodge feel with a bustling bar to the right. Note: If you’re not staying overnight, a day parking pass (particularly during ski season) can cost up to $500. When I arrived, I was greeted by the friendly concierge who offered to park my car. Surprisingly, smooth sailing all the way up the 1-70 despite being a Thursday afternoon. and arrived at the resort exactly 2 hours and 20 minutes later. I left my office in Englewood around 3 p.m. As a Denver transplant, the Rocky Mountains have become a safe haven of sorts-a place of tranquility for us city folk to relax and unwind.
Not only do I love Japanese food, but more importantly, I enjoy any chance I can get to immerse myself in “mountain life.” Not to mention, a picturesque drive was just what the doctor ordered at the time. When I was asked to try the new sushi lounge at The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch resort, I didn’t hesitate to clear my schedule.
