The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch captures the spirit of the AmericaN West in its grand scale, rough-hewn wood, and indigenous stone. Set outside Avon at the base of Beaver Creek Mountain in the Colorado Rockies, the four-season, five-diamond resort features instant access to an express ski lift in winter and entrée to more than a dozen Vail Valley golf courses in summer. A special arrangement affords preferred tee times for guests at the exclusive Red Sky Golf Club, home to two of Colorado’s highest-rated courses.
Ritz-Carlton ski and golf concierges ensure that groups can come together within minutes of leaving the mountain or greens. The 13,000 square feet of versatile event space includes a 7,107-square-foot ballroom for up to 600 attendees, six breakout rooms, and an executive boardroom. Creative catering choices complement a lineup of entertainment options like inspirational speakers, comedians, folk musicians, even rock-and-roll bands.
Rustic refinement describes everything in sight, including the 140 guest rooms and 40 suites. All provide downy feather beds and duvets, Frette linens, separate showers and marble tubs, and the latest electronics. Dining options start with in-room menus and go on to social settings in the Great Room, Daniel’s Bar, Mountainside Terrace, 7, Buffalo Bar, and Wolfgang Puck’s Spago. Guests between meals, meetings, team-building exercises, skiing, and golf can meet and greet Bachelor and Miner—the resort’s resident Saint Bernard and English cream golden retriever—or catch their breath at the 21,000-square-foot spa and fitness center.

Had a small group (35) there in September 2014. Excellent customer service from the entire team. Have been planning for this group for several years now and this property received highest reviews on customer service and quality of conference F&B. Vail in the fall has a wide variety of activities and the on-site DMC provided excellent service in activities and transportation.
Overall Rating: 4.8/5

Exceptional customer service! Everyone from the bellstand, to catering staff, to sales team were truly exeptional. GM, Abdullah, has an amazing presence and is always around speaking to guests. The food was superb. Love, love, love this resort! Guests of our conference provided exceptional feedback - looking forward to working with the team here again, as well as visiting personally. New favorite!

This was a small committee meeting with 15 attendees. The hotel and staff were great! The food was excellent. We were there in the summer so not too much activity going on with no snow around, but meeting-wise, it was great. I would highly recommend it as a summer meeting.
Overall Rating: 4.9/5
Kelly T. APGO Association Planner
The staff were extremely helpful to both the event staff and the guests during our 5-day program. In the planning process the CSM was flexible and assisted in creating custom menus, a custom Spago culinary class and allowed us to use the patio space in a way in had not been used before. They were accommodating to our request for enhanced outdoor decor lighting which was a challenge with the local home owners.
