The Westin Riverfront Mountain Villas, Beaver Creek Mountain

We have stayed at this property several times before and love the hotel! It has the best gym in the area, a lovely lobby and excellent dining options. It is ski on/off but the gondola takes you to a transfer place, the hotel is actually not on the mountain but right center in-the town of Avon. However, on this off season visit in September we traded our time share in Cancun to stay in a studio apartment in the villas. We did have a nice time; our studio room had a lovely view of the river and mountain, a nice balcony, and a nice river trail with access right from the property. I would give 5 stars and actually do rate the hotel 5 stars and perhaps the very best Westin in the chain. BUT the villas are not actually attached to the hotel, one has to exit onto the street and walk through the public gondola plaza to access the hotel, or walk through the underground maze of a garage to get from villa to hotel. This might not sound like a big deal, but I felt it rather “ghetto” to walk onto the street and gondola area in my bathrobe to get to the gym and hot tubs. Meanwhile, the sales gallery for timeshares, of which they have none for sale at this property, has prime ground floor space and an outdoor deck with fire pits and chairs that are not part of the villas, just for fake show for potential buyers. What a waste!! Important to note; the villa building (unlike other Westin hotel/villas) has no facilities of its own, not its own hot tub, no pool, not a single outdoor lounge. I guess they feel the hotel is close enough, and yet there is no path to take between. On the other hand, in winter we would likely be thrilled to have an apartment kind of sort of connected to the hotel ski in ski off. My point is that I will return to this hotel but not the villas.

Elevators down and I was on 5th floor. No one told me I was in another building so I had to figure out myself while lugging my luggage around. No complimentary anything.

Wonderful property. Everything was perfect!

First stay at this property and it made ski access so easy. Only complaint was one hot tub was out of service and the hot tubs were uncomfortably full.

I love this property. It has been consistent for years in its cleanliness and wonderful staff.

Great spot close to the gondola. Shuttle service could be a touch better by removing the dead times. If you stay here, you're NOT on the Beaver Creek mountain, you're a shuttle ride away. With that said, I really enjoyed the hotel and everyone was great.

After checking and finding our room was very hard ; we got lost in the parking garage . Need more signs and directions to find places, rooms , etc

It’s pretty hard to find my room, because the instruction is very ambiguous.

This was our first time in Avon and we couldn’t recommend the Westin Hotel more! From the reception, to drivers, staff, house keeping, everything was truly amazing. The location is walkable to everything downtown. There’s also couple of jacuzzis and pool, perfect for relaxing after a days hike. We are definitely staying here again!
