New Luxury Resort Leads the Way in Redefining the Vail Experience
VAIL, Colo., Jan. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tomorrow marks the
official opening of The Arrabelle at Vail Square, A RockResort.
Located in Vail, CO, The Arrabelle, which is already being hailed
as the crown jewel of the RockResorts collection, offers guests a
magnificent hotel experience that combines Old World charm and the
timeless elegance of Europe's grand resorts with the romance and
world-class style of the region's alpine heritage. Centrally
located in Vail Square, just steps away from the Eagle Bahn Gondola
and the slopes, The Arrabelle features 36 luxury hotel rooms and 66
condominiums that are based on the Biedermeier design style, an
early 19th century German and Austrian art movement that evokes
simplicity, elegance and functionality. Additionally, the resort
boasts a traditional Germanic Glockenspiel that features a
celebration of snow. "Stimulated by numerous regions of Europe, The
Arrabelle at Vail Square utilizes these inspirations to create a
unique lodging experience specific to Vail and its environs," said
Stan Brown, executive vice president and chief operating officer of
RockResorts. "In addition to world class skiing and snowboarding,
off the slopes, Arrabelle guests will experience the highest level
of amenities and services." Furnishings and fixtures in the rooms
were chosen to be consistent with RockResorts' reputation for
luxury in design and amenities. The hotel rooms showcase an elegant
built-in wood closet offering generous storage space and a
floor-to-ceiling drapery canopy over the bed, a fireplace, lounge
chairs and flat-screen televisions. The spacious bathroom suites
feature a double door entry, a cast iron deep soaking tub and
separate shower, heated marble flooring, a double sink marble
vanity and a flat-screen television. Additionally, The Arrabelle
has 66 residences and penthouses with distinctive floor plans,
stunning views and plush finishes. Owners of an Arrabelle residence
or penthouse, along with resort guests, are able to use the hotel's
many amenities such as valet parking, concierge services, butler
services, ski/boot storage, the RockResorts Spa, fitness center and
the business library. Dining at The Arrabelle provides a memorable
experience at the resort's mountainside restaurant, Centre V, a
bustling, French-inspired brasserie with exposed brick walls, a
shellfish shucking station, groin-vaulted ceilings and curved,
wooden banquettes. Internationally-trained chef Thomas Salamunovich
created and spearheaded the menu with dishes such as steak frites,
trout almondine, fruits de mer platters, souffles and crepes.
Salamunovich is renowned as the owner and head chef of Vail's
award-winning Larkspur restaurant, which has received awards from
the Distinguished Restaurants of North America and Wine Spectator.
Chef Tyler Anderson, who joins The Arrabelle from The Equinox
Resort & Spa in Vermont, is the executive chef who will oversee
the restaurant on a daily basis, in addition to the 24-hour in-room
dining services at the hotel and the culinary options at the
conference center. Guests can enjoy pre-ski and apres ski offerings
in The Arrabelle's expansive Great Room, which offers a relaxing
indoor space with a grand fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows
looking out to the breathtaking mountain views. The Great Room
leads to an open-air, elevated veranda with a "front row" view of
Vail Mountain. Meeting facilities at The Arrabelle feature an
elegant conference and banquet facility with an approximate
2,622-square-foot Grand Ballroom that can be split evenly into two
rooms, four additional meeting rooms ranging from approximately
that range up to 1,200 square feet, and pre-function space.
Debuting in mid-February will be the 10,000-square-foot RockResorts
Spa(TM) at The Arrabelle, where guests will be surrounded by a warm
and inviting atmosphere. A dramatic water feature will welcome
visitors at the entryway, while rose-colored marble floors and
counters accented by yellow limestone will coincide to evoke a
soothing ambiance. Marble and glass tile mosaics will invite one to
indulge their senses in the rejuvenating spa treatments offered.
The spa consists of 11 treatment rooms, including a couples suite,
facial rooms, a water therapy room with Vichy and Swiss showers; a
fitness center with top-of-the-line TechnoGym cardio equipment,
personalized fitness trainer consultation services; a full-service
nail salon; men's and women's locker rooms, each with whirlpool,
steam room and dry sauna; private men's and women's relaxation
lounges; and a retail outlet. Perennially, the #1 ski resort in
North America, Vail's accommodations and village experiences are as
vast as its Back Bowls. Vail Square provides a slopeside,
European-inspired village atmosphere complete with a variety of
dining options, a town ice-skating rink, unparalleled skier
services and high-end retail outlets. "The Arrabelle's thoughtful
architecture and design inspired many surrounding properties to
assume its European atmosphere, which will be unique from other
parts of the Vail experience. The Arrabelle and Vail Square
reinforce Vail's position as the leading mountain resort in North
America, offering guests an exceptional vacation experience in a
spectacular natural setting," said Brown. The Arrabelle at Vail
Square is located in Vail, Colorado, 100 miles west of Denver on
Interstate 70 and 35 minutes east of the Vail/Eagle County Regional
Airport. For more information, please visit
