The Sebastian – Vail was recently named one of two hotels in the United States recommended by EliteTraveler for a late season luxury ski trip.

“The Sebastian is a boutique hotel nestled in the center of Vail Village. Colorado’s Vail Mountain has experienced a snowy fall and winter, which means there is likely to be plenty of powder throughout spring break. Guests have ski-in, ski-out access to the revered slopes as well as their very own adventure center, Base Camp.

Tired muscles can be treated in the hotel’s Bloom Spa, which recently launched a CBD oil enhancement from a Colorado based organic hemp company. The in-vogue treatment can be added to any of the spa’s services.

Guests can dine at haute bistro and tapas bar Leonora before grabbing a drink at the chic and progressive Frost Bar. The Sebastian’s decadent and signature hot chocolates are a must.”

Watch It Melt

An incredible early ski season is here in picturesque Vail, Colorado with 95% of the storied terrain open on December 7th. Thanks to nine and a half feet of natural snow so far, Vail has 26 lifts spinning providing access to 182 trails and 5,008 skiable acres.

On Thursday, November 29^th, Vail opened Blue Sky basin. That marks the second-earliest opening for Blue Sky in history, behind only the November 25, 2002 opening. The legendary Back Bowls are also open! Portions of Sun Up, Sun Down, China, Tea Cup, Siberia and Pete’s bowls are all open and primed for epic early winter turns.

One thing is certain, the beginning of the 2018-19 ski season has been legendary, including milestones such as the most open acreage in North America, opening early for the first time in more than a decade, the third time in the last decade that the Back Bowls have opened this early in the season, and the second-earliest opening of Blue Sky Basin in history.

Just in time for the first snowfall, this season’s high-country hot list of winter ski escapes includes stylish new accommodations and amenities.

The Sebastian – Vail
Vail Village has never lacked for large hotels and condominium complexes, but until The Sebastian — Vail opened its doors, the boutique-hotel niche had never been properly filled. The Sebastian offers all the elements of a classic slope-side lodge executed with a fresh, hip style. The lobby’s rustic stone walls and wood floors provide a warm backdrop for sleek furnishings and a sculptural fireplace. In the library, oversize works of abstract art hang on black, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. And at the Frost Bar, an icicle-like installation of frosted-glass shards is suspended above a bar that glows an icy blue.
