Initially we had planned to take day trips using Beaver Creek as a base. This hotel is so conveniently located that we never took the car out of the garage -- walked to trail heads, was picked up in a van for white water rafting and walked everywhere else. The kids loved the pool. Guests at the Mountain Lodge can also use the facilities at the fancier Park Hyatt which is in the same area of the village. We enjoyed the Mountain Lodge because we were able to make our own breakfasts and some meals-to-go for hikes (vs. the park Hyatt). Our suite was extremely clean, the bedding was great, duvets and really nice pillows and we were given an ample supply of clean towels. The decor is attractive, kitchen was great -- granite counters, stainless appliances, very, very clean. There is no air conditioning, there is no need. Temperatures in August were in the upper 50s at night. Slept with the windows open and the ceiling fan on. Extremely comfortable. Absolutely no bugs either. Hotel staff were great, very helpful, some good suggestions about what to do in teh area. One of the desk staff shares a birthday with my older daughter and he shared his red velvet cupcakes with both of my daughters. Extremely nice.

My husband booked a room here to stay after he participated in a grueling 120 mile bike ride. We shared a 2-bedroom condo with another couple. The accommodations were absolutely perfect! While the unit was on the small side, it was very well appointed and cozy. Two bedrooms/baths on either side of a living/kitchen area with a balcony overlooking the garden, pool and mountainside. I've stayed at the adjacent St. James Place on numerous occasions and nearby Pines Resort as well, but the Hyatt Mtn. Lodge was by far the nicest! Great pool area with three hot tub pools: children, family and adults only. The "media" room was a nice touch with plush reclining leather chairs and large flat-screen TV & DVD player. Free coffee, tea, water, snacks and fruit in the lobby too. Our only regret was we stayed just one night. We'd like to return in the fall for an extended weekend of relaxation & outdoor activities.

We went to Beaver Creek in August for a wedding. 5 of us stayed in a 3 bedroom condo in the Hyatt Mountain Lodge and just LOVED it. From the moment we walked in the lobby, we were impressed. Our rooms were gorgeous, and the entire condo was fitted with fantastic ammenities. We spent most of our days playnig basketball/volleyball in the heated pool and lounging in 1 of the three jacuzzis. The staff was amazing and accomodating as well! We loved their warm cookies and milk bar and the ice cream around the pool services in the afternoon (all complimentary!). Our ONLY complaint is the apparent "continental breakfast" in the morning - just a bowl of granola bars. Just don't get your hopes up for that one! Overall, two thumbs WAY up!

Reception was adequate during our week stay, except for a few details.
they totally whiffed on a planned "pizza and movie night for the kids" event... they gave me this deer in the headlights look when i asked about it later

they have the main hotel coffee bar stocked within this armoire in the hotel lobby - - in the morning, you had to tussle with other guests to get a cup of coffee... that is after having waited for the hotel staff to refill the thermos. Just could use better attention and service in the morning.

otherwise, killer location and a great place for the kids. beautiful park area, nice pools, more relaxed feel... Not as "stuffy" as the park place across the street.
