The Galatyn Lodge — Hotel in Vail

We loved so many things about this hotel:||* the friendly staff seemed to genuinely care that we were having a good time and were eager to help;||* the ski lockers were perfect for two people and we loved the supplies they provided (hand warmers, sunscreen, vents to heat our boots; snacks);||* the bed was incredibly comfortable and the room was spacious;||* the water pressure and hot water in the bathroom was awesome;||* it was an easy walk to/from Gondola One;||* the afternoon snacks were fantastic (oreos, nutter butters, milanos);||* while everything is walkable, there is a bus stop right outside the hotel if you don't want to walk; and||* easy parking right underneath the building.||||However, the hotel is surrounded on 3 sides by roads and every night we were there, between 3-6am, there were multiple loud vehicles that interrupted our sleep: garbage trucks, snowplows and who knows what else. It was basically 2-3 hours of intermittent sleep, which was exhausting (it was quiet in the afternoons for naps).||||We loved our stay but -- through no fault of the hotel -- probably wouldn't stay again because of the noise, though I'm not sure we can avoid it elsewhere (it seems possible in the middle of...

The Galatyn is our go to place in Vail. The layout of the lodge makes it perfect for families (both big and small.) The way it is laid out allows you to take over an entire floor, or just certain rooms - to adjust based off the size of your party. Beyond being customizable in that way, it is incredibly well taken care of and CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN. Whenever we stay there I feel like we are the only ones in the lodge, even if there are other guests - because it is so well kept, I dont know how they do it! I mean, being able to keep it that clean and polished - you feel like their number one priority at every turn! The service is so helpful and friendly - booking dinner reservations, ski lift tickets, activities, cars, etc. I actually cannot imagine staying anywhere else in Vail ! It is much better than any lodge - a hidden GEM. As I write this I wish I didnt, because now my secret will be discovered! But I hope it is discovered, because you can tell whoever oversees the property cares about their people - their staff and their guests. And how could i forget... the location - well - if there were any better location, I would be on top of the mountain. WOW! Ok, I guess i will end there. Happy to...

We stayed at The Galatyn Lodge this past weekend for the second time and loved every second of our stay. We have stayed at most of the lodges and Resorts in Vail. The Galatyn exceeds our expectations by far and fits every need of ours. My favorite part is how dog friendly they are. When you live in Colorado, you likely have a dog or two. We love traveling with our dogs. Josh and Brian are amazing with the dogs. We can hang by the 90 degree heated pool with them in the summer and we can leave them in the room for dinner (just make sure they’re not loud for extended periods of time). There are plenty of pet relief areas near the hotel too. Despite all of the pet accommodations, The Galatyn is sparkling clean and very comfortable. We found both of our stays to be quiet. The proximity to Vail Village is perfect and they have underground parking that is included with your room. The cleaning staff is SO SWEET. The Galatyn isn’t a big conglomerate ran hotel chain. It’s privately owned. You truly get that personal, intimate feeling when you stay here. This is the only place we will now stay in Vail. Josh is a great person. Be kind to him! Call and book with him directly. We have nothing but great...
