The Best Ski Hotels in Vermont

The Lodge at Spruce Peak sits at the base of Vermont’s most glamorous ski resort and provides spacious lodging with high-end fixtures.

Stowe is arguably Vermont’s swankiest ski town and the Lodge at Spruce Peak is where you go for a premiere stay. The property has spacious accommodations that start at 450 square feet and feature balconies and marble-finished bathrooms. Suite and penthouse guests get the perks of multiple bedrooms, kitchens with Cuisinart appliances, and a separate living area. At this hotel you’ll also find a full-service spa with an extensive treatment menu, a spacious outdoor heated pool with hot tubs, a mix of gourmet and casual dining options, and access to the property's mini "village" at the bottom of Spruce Peak Mountain. It's a veritable winter wonderland.

In addition to hitting the slopes, the resort also offers a bevy of winter activities like ice skating, snow biking, and snowshoeing tours. And as a Destination by Hyatt hotel, members get discounted rates on rooms or can look into using their points for their stay.

Located right next to one of the largest ski resorts on the East Coast, Killington Grand Resort Hotel sets guests up for a thrilling snow adventure.

Killington is dubbed as the “Beast of the East,” and for a very good reason. With 1,509 skiable acres, it’s one of the largest ski resorts on this side of the United States. Plus, it boasts the second-highest peak in Vermont at 4,241 feet, with an accompanying 3,050-foot vertical drop. Experts will revel in its double black diamonds trail, but there are also plenty of green runs for beginners.

If you’re hoping to scale this behemoth, Killington Grand Resort Hotel is the ideal place to stay. While it’s not a true ski-in, ski-out hotel, the property has direct ski bridge access to the slopes and they also offer a shuttle service on Saturdays, Sundays, and during the holidays. The accommodations are simple in appearance and have everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay—a majority of them come furnished with fully equipped kitchens, too. At the hotel, you’ll also find a health club complete with a 75-foot heated outdoor pool, two hot tubs, sauna, and a steam room, as well as an on-site spa for relaxing and mending sore muscles.
