Going to Vail the end of March, have 3 packages to choose from...Chateau Vail, Evergreen or Vail Raquet Club.Can anyone tell me about any of those. Any dining tips would be great. Can you get around Vail easily?
Is it worth the money???? Thanks for any help.

Jef I am not that familiar with condos in Vail, But I think that Chateua Vail and Evergreen will be closer to the village, The Raquet Club is in east Vail which will require a shuttle or drive to the lifts. I would pick one within walking distance to the Village if you can.

Jef,

I would check on the Chateau Vail - the Holiday Inn used to be called the HI Chateau Vail and closed a year or two ago. The Evergreen is a nice hotel - used to be part of the Doubletree chain so is that level of accomm. Its about 1/2 way between Lionshead and the Village - about 500 yards to lifts. Theres a free town bus system that will take you closer. Walkable to restaurants and shops. The VRC is in East Vail on the free bus system but is a few miles from the town and slopes. Their units are full condos though vs. the hotel rooms of the Evergreen.

The town's easily walkable with a ton of restaurants. Best bet is to walk around and see what looks good.

Thanks for all your help everyone.
Any recommendations for dinner spots.Is Chateau Vail a nice place? Close to trails? thanks again.

We stayed at the Vail Racquet Club this summer. I would choose the Chateau or Evergreen over the Racquet Club. It is too far out of the Village and right on the interstate. We had to change rooms because I could not sleep due to the interstate noise. Our new room was fine but I would not stay there again.

Sweet Basil's is a favorite restaurant of ours.

Second Sweet Basil's!!
