Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch
With its own high-speed lift steps from the hotel and Wolfgang Puck's only Colorado outlet, the Ritz-Carlton—a giant lodgepole-and-timber cabin built in classic National Park-lodge style—is Beaver Creek's answer to convenience and luxury. It dominates the base of Bachelor Gulch Mountain, creating a postcard-pretty image as skiers schuss down the corduroy Cabin Fever trail to it, where ski valets stand at the ready. The 180 guest rooms and suites are decked out in Colorado rustic, with custom millwork and plenty of wood, while the marble bathrooms all have soaking tubs. Dip into the Bachelor Gulch spa, with 19 treatment rooms and a relaxing rock grotto with a lazy river hot tub running through it, before dinner at Spago, which opened here in 2007. <p><strong>Tip:</strong> Stop by the outdoor fire pit, stocked with marshmallows and roasting sticks; it's a popular après-ski activity.</p> <p><strong>Room to Book:</strong> King rooms have fireplaces and balconies; booking a mountain view is a no-brainer.</p>

You can even pretend you're in the Alps and ski village to village from Beaver Creek over to Arrowhead and Bachelor Gulch, two recently developed, intimate, and ultra-tasteful enclaves in the next valleys over. But be warned: You will be overwhelmed by the urge to immediately check into the Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch, a peak-roofed palace modeled after the grand national-park lodges of the American West.
