Scene
Simple budget property with rustic lodge look inside
The two-story hotel feels quaint and comfortable compared with other larger Vail Resort-owned properties in town. With brown siding, pitched roofs, and a bay window above the entrance, the building has a homey appearance. Inside, the lobby features a rustic lodge aesthetic that includes a log accent wall decorated with a large stuffed deer head. Brown leather seating surrounds a wooden coffee table and stone fireplace. The space extends to an area with stools and cafe tables where guests can eat breakfast. There are also some patio tables and chairs outside on a stone terrace with views of the slopes. The privately-owned property is geared toward travelers who want a simple place to stay while spending their days skiing.
Location
Across the street from ski lift, near restaurants
The Alpine Slopes Lodge is just off a main road and unlike most other budget properties in the area, is within walking distance of the chairlift (Peru Express). Ski lifts and other Keystone hotels are across the road from the property. There are also a few restaurants within a five-minute walk. The hotel is a four-minute drive or 15-minute walk from the Keystone Conference Center, making the hotel a decent option for business travelers on a budget. A free shuttle service for transportation throughout Keystone and the A-Basin stops at the front of the hotel. Denver International Airport is an hour and 45 minutes away by car. Vail is a 45-minute drive from the hotel.
