The Best Breckenridge Ski Hotels

One Ski Hill place is widely regarded as the most luxurious condo-style accommodation in Breckenridge. The property owes this reputation to its spacious, well-appointed units and a staggering list of on-site amenities. Condos come in configurations ranging from studio to three-bedroom units and feature private balconies, huge bathrooms with soaking tubs, fireplaces, and fully-equipped gourmet kitchens.

If you’re a true ski fanatic, you will love the easy walking access to four different lifts, and amenities like a ski concierge and gear lockers are the cherry on top. For those skiing with a half-day ticket, there are probably more activities located within this property than you could get to during your stay, including pools, a spa, three in-house restaurants, and a charming bowling alley (shaped like a mine shaft).

The one factor that makes all the difference when traveling with kids is convenience, and convenience is where Beaver Run excels. Want the option of making your own meals, or being able to say, “Get it yourself!” when your kids complain about needing a snack for the 17th time? The condo units at this property come with fully-equipped kitchens and large common spaces, which are perfect for family groups of any size. When you feel like letting someone else do the cooking, there are four on-site restaurants, all with kids' menus.

If you’re looking to travel farther afield for food and entertainment, there’s a free shuttle to Main Street. Between the on-site activities like mini-golf, pools, hot tubs, and an arcade, nobody will ever have an excuse to complain about being bored during downtime at Beaver Run. 

Beyond dining and on-site activities, the most important convenience factor at this property is the access to ski slopes. Ski-in, ski-out access and lockers make this the perfect option for those skiing with little ones who might need to avail of frequent hot chocolate breaks. For parents looking to unwind with some alone time, the concierge can arrange to send the kids off for a day at ski school, while you kick back at the on-site spa—80-minute “Colorado CBD” massage, anyone?

The Bivvi is an excellent option for those seeking a Breck experience on a budget; it is also the best place in town for the most outdoorsy visitors to meet like-minded travelers. If the hostel’s name, an ode to mountaineering equipment, doesn’t give you the hint, then the section of the website’s FAQs dedicated to amenities for thru-hikers should. Despite the low price points, the rooms at this hostel look nothing like the associations you might have of barebones bunk beds and broken lockers. 

The eight rooms can be booked as shared rooms or private rooms, and for those willing to pay more, there’s the hot tub suite, which includes a fireplace as well as a private jacuzzi. All rooms have Norwegian Pine beds, bedside reading lanterns, and funky, rustic decor—think Pendleton-style blankets and log cabin walls. Travelers may come to the Bivvy for the competitive prices, but what brings them back is the warm and welcoming social scene. Fellow wanders can be found nightly around the fire on the back deck, comparing trail stories and gear recs over Colorado microbrews.

The Mountain Thunder Lodge is nestled amongst the aspens, a short walk away from the busy ski lift areas and downtown Breck. The hotel offers ski-in access, although skiers have to take a gondola out. But the sweeping views, fireplaces, outdoor pools, and exceptionally cozy rooms are worth the few minutes of extra walking (or shuttle-riding). There are lots of family-friendly amenities at this property, but the overall feeling of serenity and slight separation from the activity of the rest of Breckenridge makes it a great choice for those looking to turn their ski trip into a romantic getaway. 

After a long day on the slopes, couples can enjoy the warm glow of in-room stone fireplaces, enjoy some après wine and cheese from a private, mountainside patio, or soak in the outdoor hot tub. Condo-style units are individually owned, but feature uniform, rustic decor. There is no on-site restaurant, but the plethora of options on Main Street are just a short walk or shuttle ride away.

• Fitness center
• Laundry on-site
• Year-round pool and hot tub
• Private patios

Getting up early to catch the first lift isn’t for everyone. For visitors to Breckenridge who would prefer to skip straight to the après ski, the Residence Inn is the perfect home base. The hotel is located adjacent to the lively downtown area and Main Street. After enjoying the complimentary hot breakfast, non-skiing guests can head up to the hotel’s year-round outdoor rooftop pool to take in the views, stroll around the gear shops, breweries, and cafes in historic downtown, or hike along the nearby Blue River Recreation path, which runs parallel to Main Street. 

For those who are intent on hitting the slopes, the Residence Inn offers access to lifts via shuttles, and a convenient storage space for gear in the lobby. Rooms are clean and comfortable, with standard Marriott-style furnishings. Many rooms feature fully equipped kitchens. Downtown Breck is chock-full of charm, and those looking to explore the area beyond ski terrain could do worse than putting themselves at the heart of this lively village. 

• Complimentary breakfast
• Fitness center
• Year-round rooftop pool and hot tub
• Free shuttle to ski lifts
  

Gravity Haus is the perfect place to keep the fun going even after the chairlift stops running. The spaces at this newer boutique property feel a little different than the rustic-chic atmosphere you’ll find elsewhere in Breck. Rooms and common areas have a minimalist, industrial vibe, with decorative touches like barn doors and dramatic, large-scale black and white photographs. Groups of friends traveling together can take advantage of rooms with queen bunk beds, for a real “grown-up summer camp” vibe.

If you’ve ever watched competitive skiers and snowboarders training flips on a trampoline and wanted to try the same, you’ve got your chance at the huge Max Air Trampoline on the hotel’s third floor. After a long day on the trails, guests refuel and unwind over a family-style meal at the on-site restaurant Cabin Juice. 

• Max Air trampoline
• Fitness center, hot tub, and sauna
