The flights out of Newark to Denver run under four hours. That's worth remembering when February has gone on too long. The Rockies are still blanketed in snow while New Jersey is stuck somewhere between mid-week slush and weekend mud. A trip out west doesn't ask you to wait for the right moment—the mountain towns are ready when you are. From the slopes of Vail to mountain relaxation in Jackson Hole, these stays offer slopes, world-class dining, spas, and everything in between. | |  | | Grand Hyatt Vail Resort and Residences Vail, CO Cascade Village sits at the base of Vail Mountain, and the Grand Hyatt Vail Resort and Residences' private chairlift means a ski session on the slopes is never more than a few steps from your door. In the summer, guided nature walks, fly fishing, and on-site bike rentals keep the outdoors at the forefront. Suites lean into mountain-modern warmth—layered textures and décor that earn the setting. For dining, Makoto draws people in from the valley for its sushi and Wagyu. A Topgolf Swing Suite handles après-ski for groups who aren't ready to call it a night. The spa, the Rockies out every window, and a Travel + Leisure readers' nod in 2024 round out the case.  |  | | Omni Interlocken Hotel Broomfield, CO Positioned between Denver and Boulder with the Rockies as a backdrop, the Omni Interlocken Hotel earns its resort designation. The 27-hole championship golf course is the centerpiece, but the property doesn't ask you to choose—spa treatments, resort pools, and 40,000 square feet of event space all share the same grounds. Five dining and drinking options cover the range: The Camper handles elevated breakfast with local ingredients and a campfire sensibility; Fairways puts you on a terrace overlooking the 9th green; Shep's pours craft beer flights against a mountain-chic backdrop. Denver and Boulder bracket this must-visit hotel on either side.  |  | | The Lodge at Jackson Hole Jackson, WY Wyoming doesn't do anything halfway, and The Lodge at Jackson Hole doesn't either. Experience world-class skiing, dogsledding to the Continental Divide, snowmobile runs through the hot springs, and sleigh rides through the National Elk Refuge. When the day's done, elegant guest rooms and a state-of-the-art pool complex handle the relaxation portion. The hotel runs its own activity concierge, so finding your next adventure is never a chore. A Snow King planetarium and observatory add a different kind of spectacle after dark, and summers bring wildlife tours, nature-filled bike rides, rodeos, and mountaineering into the fold. Jackson Hole demands full commitment. This is the right base for it.  |  | | The Fold, Steamboat Springs Steamboat Springs, CO Steps from the gondola and surrounded by Steamboat's shops and restaurants, The Fold, Steamboat Springs, first draws you with its location. But that's only half the allure. One- and two-bedroom suites come with full kitchens, room to spread out, and a grill for when you'd rather eat in. After the slopes or the trails, the hot tub and Himalayan salt sauna handle recovery. A mini-golf setup and dedicated dog zone keep the energy going without requiring a single step off the property. Whitewater paddling, horseback riding, and hiking are all close by. This is a suite-style property built for groups and families who want space as much as they want adventure.  |  | | Sentral Union Station Denver, CO Four minutes on foot from Union Station puts you at the center of LoDo's dining, nightlife, and transit connections—Coors Field and Ball Arena are both under a mile away. The apartment-style suites come equipped with full kitchens, in-unit laundry, and enough space to settle in for more than a night or two. The rooftop pool and communal lounges keep the property social and accommodating. Gyu Kaku handles dinner when you'd rather not venture out. For travelers who want the flexibility of an apartment with the amenities of a hotel—and a location that makes a car largely optional—Sentral earns its spot.  | | Interested in advertising in this newsletter? | |
