Gravity Haus Vail

Gravity Haus has been trying to sell us memberships for the past two years, but the numbers never made sense when I did the math in spite of the fact that we live in Colorado. We had a chance to stay at GH Vail without a membership over a long weekend and figured we'd give it a shot. The location is just on the edge of Vail Village and directly across the street from the Vail Village parking garage. The hike to Gondola One isn't bad, even in ski boots. In the evenings, you are less than a block from the covered bridge bus stop, so getting around is incredibly convenient. We enjoyed and appreciated the size of our single king room. It was much larger than similar properties we've stayed at across Vail over the years. Everything was clean and serviceable, but we would not consider this a very high-end property from the guest room perspective. The furnishings were "tired," room was very plain/bland, and the pillows were very uncomfortable. The bathroom was large and had both a tub and a shower. It was no problem for my wife and I to be in at the same time. The heated floor was a very nice touch on a very cold weekend. Our experience with the staff was hit or miss. One lady was incredibly helpful and seemed to jump at any request, always eager to help. Other staff would barely lift a finger. It was jarring, but we quickly learned who to go to and who couldn't be bothered. BTW - we never did see any of the famous "hot chocolate and cookies" at reception our entire time, not that it really mattered. The bar, restaurant, co-working space, and spa areas of the property are magnificent. It shows that attention is being paid to maintaining these areas, they must be the real money-makers for GH. The food quality is very good, we were impressed with every dish and drink. What knocked me over was my final bill and the "Resort Fee." I knew there was a daily fee, but was not prepared for how much of the bill it was. Basically, you are paying for spa day passes for each day of your stay. It was by far the MOST expensive "Resort Fee" I've ever spent (15%+ of your room rate), and I did not feel it was worth it in any way, shape, or form based on our other experiences across Vail Valley. I asked if even GH members had to pay the resort fee and was told that they are now applied to all guests, whether members or not. What does that get you? Access, to the gym/co-working spaces. I've stayed in 5-star resorts around the world with lower resort fees. It isn't justified for the overall quality of the stay. Any property will hike rates during peak seasons, but now there's a sliding percentage of additional fees. No, thank you. We've stayed at properties that were just as convenient in Vail, if not more so, with better quality rooms and parking included, and could pay an extra 1 - 2 hundred over GHV's peak rates and have been better satisfied with the amount paid. This was a one-and-done for us, and as far as the value of a membership, no way. You'd have to be an out-of-work tech bro to break even on that deal. Now, with the RTO mandate at most companies, I'm curious to see how long their tech bro co-work space model will last.

Our single king room at Gravity Haus was one of the nicest accommodations we have ever stayed at in Vail. The spacious room, bathroom with heated floors and hallway with beverage bar were perfect as well as the ambience provided by the gas burning fireplace. Bedside lighting for reading was excellent. Vail Village is steps away. Each fall we go to Vail to view the beautiful changing aspen and from now on will stay at Gravity Haus.

The room and staff were amazing. Everything about our stay was great. The vibe was very friendly and inviting. Everyone there is amazing. Highly recommend. The views are amazing and it's a 2 minute walk to Vail Village. I will be back very soon!

The hotel's location is wonderful. The staff and service was challenging: some great. others made us feel in the wrong place. The restaurant staff was clueless and totally rude, unlike our first visit a ear ago. I hope they have changed the management and are aware that some things need to be improved here.

Nope! Definitely not worth it. There was - surprise $150 resort fee for booking through a third party. The staff was down right rude about it. Very outdated, dirty, A/C didn’t work, and the beds were like sleeping on bricks. The only good thing about this hotel was the location.
