Colorado’s First Upscale Sustainable Hotel
Opens with Unique Location, Refreshing Amenities
The Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa, Vail Valley’s
newest “green”
resort, opens today. The upper-upscale resort will awaken guests’
senses with breathtaking views of Beaver Creek Mountain, unparalleled
access to the Eagle River and signature Westin services and amenities.
The Westin Riverfront is on track to be the first upscale resort in
Colorado to achieve coveted LEED certification from the U.S. Green
Building Council. Unique “green”
programs include guest recycling stations on every floor, preferred
parking for hybrid vehicles, an on-site organic garden and the
protection of open space through the donation of a five-acre park to the
Town of Avon.
The cornerstone of a $500 million condo hotel development, The Westin
Riverfront features 210 finely appointed guest rooms ranging in size
from studios to three-bedrooms. The contemporary guest rooms are
designed to promote balance and well-being with wireless Internet,
expansive windows, custom kitchens, spa-like bathrooms and gas
fireplaces. Every room also features trademark touches like the Westin
Heavenly Bed®, 24-hour Westin WORKOUT®
fitness center, Westin Heavenly Bath® and
Westin Service Express®, which allows guests
to request every hotel service with one call.
The Westin Riverfront is connected to Beaver Creek Mountain via the
Riverfront Express Gondola, which delivers skiers and snowboarders to
world-class terrain in less than three minutes. Other amenities include
a ski valet, on-site ski rental and fly fishing shops, a 25-meter
outdoor lap pool and three oversized riverside hot tubs. The hotel’s
4,000 square feet of meeting space features floor-to-ceiling windows
showcasing mountain views.
To celebrate its grand opening, The Westin Riverfront is offering fall
rates beginning at $119 per night and early ski season rates from $249
per night.
The Westin Riverfront’s 23,000 square foot
Spa Anjali offers signature spa treatments inspired by healing
traditions of the mountains. Spa Anjali has 14 treatment rooms, a
full-service salon and a complete fitness center with yoga, spin and
Pilates classes and extensive exercise equipment. As the premiere “green”
spa in the Rockies, Spa Anjali carries only environmentally-friendly
products, including Amala Beauty and Anakiri.
Restaurant Avondale, led by acclaimed chef Thomas Salamunovich, will
delight diners with its West Coast-inspired seasonal menu that focuses
on purity of ingredients and simplicity of preparation.
Developed by East West Partners, The Westin Riverfront was designed by
the architectural firm of Hornberger & Worstell of San Francisco in
conjunction with OZ Architecture in Boulder, Colo. The interior was
designed by internationally recognized leader Skidmore, Owings &
Merrill, LLP.
