The Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa sits along the Eagle River between Vail and Beaver Creek, with a gondola out back that carries skiers straight up to Beaver Creek Mountain. Rooms and suites look out on the water and the surrounding mountains, and the property runs a riverfront pool, hot tubs, and the Spa Anjali for massages and treatments after a day on the slopes or the trail.

The location puts you on the Eagle River Trail for walking and biking in summer, with fly-fishing and rafting close by, and a short hop to the shops and restaurants of Avon. In winter, the gondola access makes it an easy base for Beaver Creek without the drive to the main village.

On site you'll find dining at the resort's restaurant, a fitness center, and event space for weddings and gatherings set against the river. It works equally well for a ski trip, a summer mountain stay, or a quieter stretch of time by the water.
