The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch
At the base of Beaver Creek Mountain, The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch is a true ski-in, ski-out lodge with stone-and-timber rooms, a 21,000-square-foot spa and year-round Rocky Mountain adventure.
The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch sits directly on Beaver Creek Mountain above Avon, with ski-in, ski-out access through the Bachelor Gulch Express lift. Its timber-and-stone architecture gives the property the scale and atmosphere of a grand Rocky Mountain lodge.
Rooms and suites have been refreshed with fireplaces, wood accents and modern mountain furnishings, while larger residences and multi-bedroom penthouses provide apartment-style space for families and groups.
Winter is the most obvious draw, with more than 2,000 acres of Beaver Creek terrain accessible from the hotel. Summer shifts toward hiking, mountain biking and other alpine activities, making the resort genuinely year-round.
The 21,000-square-foot spa includes saunas, steam rooms, hot and cold plunge pools, a Himalayan salt wall, yoga and Pilates studios and a heated outdoor pool. Several restaurants and lounges provide the expected après-ski energy without requiring guests to leave the property.
Bachelor Gulch is best for travelers who want mountain luxury built directly around access to the slopes. Its lodge atmosphere, substantial wellness facilities and residential accommodations make it especially strong for longer family ski trips.
