Thank goodness we found this place! The Osprey Lounge could easily be overlooked as a small hotel bar, but that would be the greatest mistake of your stay at Beaver Creek. The food is phenomenal and the service by Chris and Danny was superb. The tapas were very well thought out and the flavors and presentation were outstanding! We started with a mixed green salad and went on to the black bean tacos, flank steak, and shrimp with grits. Try this place on your next visit to Beaver Creek!

We had our annual Board Meeting at The Osprey and every one of our executives told me how impressed they were with the rooms, meeting room, food, and especially the employees. The employees go above and beyond to make sure we are comfortable.

Dana in the sales department is incredibly detail-oriented and really helped accommodate our many CHANGING needs! She did an fabulous job with all of our meeting details.

I look forward to working The Osprey for future events.

Noting that almost every review includes the word “amazing”, while impressed we were not amazed.

We had a great stay and loved the fireside bar (and the excellent bar service) as well as the tapa style menu. Also, there are plenty of great little touches – complimentary ski valet, tubs of sunscreen, energy bars and coffee (for those who like Starbucks?).

The rooms are warm and relaxing, we especially enjoyed the fireplace. The Jacuzzi and pool are also recommended. The location is fantastic, a very short walk to the village and genuinely ski-in/ski-out. The complimentary resort shuttle service was great for going out in the evening, they dropped us off at the restaurant (Vin48) and then returned to get us when we had finished.

The area that let the hotel down was the management and reception staff, young and not as experienced as you would expect for a hotel that markets itself as “The Osprey at Beaver Creek is the ultimate in Beaver Creek lodging” and as having “exemplary service”.

On arrival the first room were we shown to had an unmade bed and smelt of (very recent) smoking. The second room (an upgrade) was larger but lacked a fireplace (one of features that attracted us to the Osprey). Eventually the receptionist admitted there were no other rooms available so we had to spend a night in the second room, before moving to a third room the following day. Given we had just arrived in the US after a 24 hours journey from Australia this was not quite the relaxing start to our holiday that we had been looking forward to. Given the hotel knew we were arriving that evening we were somewhat astounded at the state of the original room! In the circumstances we also felt that the rather inexperienced receptionist (the only person who seemed to be on duty at 8.00pm) should have at least advised the hotel manager of the issue. Other than the manager introducing himself, the next day, and apologising the hotel made no other effort to make up for the issue.

However, if we return to Beaver Creek we would seriously consider returning to The Osprey despite the initial problems with the rooms.

A quick note on Beaver Creek:

Despite the slightly less than average snow fall before we arrived we thought the skiing conditions were excellent. The village itself is a bit contrived and kitsch, an attempt to replicate a European village but lacking genuine character and atmosphere.

We recommend that you avoid Beaver Creek Sports (the largest ski hire business in Beaver Creek); the staff who assist with ski boot selection and fitting are poorly training and inexperienced. On the third attempt to get boots correctly fitted did they get it right (but that required escalation to the store manager).

We (4 guys from London who ski Aspen every year, mainly for the food) were beginning to despair of finding a decent restaurant in BC ...... until we found The Osprey's restaurant. Worthy of a Michelin star, with very attentive and staff who cleealry love the osprey and its guests, we found the tapas style menu gave us aroubd 8 dishes of the most excellent seafood, steak and vegetables. Great job everyon! We'll be back Wednesday night for a second evening
