Fodor's Expert Review Purgatory Lodge

This mountain-luxe slope-side hotel provides an upscale retreat at a down-home resort, featuring roomy two- to four-bedroom suites decorated with contemporary furnishings. Each is equipped with a kitchen (think granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances), gas fireplace, and washer/dryer. A game area and a heated pool with a slide make it a hit with kids, while a hot tub and private club make it a perfect place for adults to unwind. A wide range of on-site and Village Center restaurants provide variety for longer stays, and Purgatory also offers condos and townhomes.
