The Sebastian, Vail

Looking for a hotel in Vail, Colorado? A staycation in the mountains? A luxurious retreat with 3,000-acres of skiing in seven huge bowls? The Sebastian, Vail is a 5-star resort located in the heart of Vail, Colorado & it's the perfect place for you (and your furry friend) to enjoy & unwind in the Rocky Mountains.

Ross and I stayed at The Sebastian for the first time this year and it certainly won't be the last. During our stay we were in a One Bedroom Residence and we brought our dog Forbes along with us.

Upon arrival at The Sebastian, we truly felt like we had arrived somewhere magnificent in the mountains (because we had); the Porte-cochère & lobby of The Sebastian is quintessential Vail in all of it's grandeur with large wooden beams, beautiful stonework, a rod iron chandelier and a blazing rod-iron fireplace.

The Sebastian's staff is certainly 5-star and catered to us with speed and professionalism. The valets & front staff greeted us and got us sorted for our stay. Our bags were retrieved from the car and we valeted our car for the weekend - valet parking costs USD 45 per day with in/out privileges. The front desk allowed us to check-in early at 2pm. Check-in is normally at 4pm.

Before we headed to our room, the front desk staff gave Forbes a treat (we loved this thoughtful touch). Pets are allowed at The Sebastian for an extra charge of $150 per pet, per stay (Service animals are exempt from fees). For additional details on pet restrictions and to request pet-friendly rooms, contact the property prior to your stay - this is what we did and everything had been taken care of upon our check-in.

We chose the One Bedroom Residence for our stay at The Sebastian. The One Bedroom Residence had a bedroom with 1 King Bed, 2 full bathrooms with walk-in showers, a dining area, a sitting area and a porch looking out onto the mountains.

The bedroom was nice albeit a little dark (but that's me being incredibly picky lol, I wish the windows in the bedroom were a BIT larger to allow in more natural light). The king bed was super comfortable and we slept like babies.

We loved that there were two bathrooms in the One Bedroom Residence so Ross could get out of my hair (literally lol) while I got ready each morning and evening.

We all (especially Forbes) loved the porch that was accessible from the dining area. The view and fresh air gave us the full Vail experience. We enjoyed drinking our morning coffee out on the porch and listening to Vail wake up.

Room Service at The Sebastian was speedy & delicious. We recommend getting some wine and a charcuterie board to start off your stay. For some late night dining, try the elk burger; it was amazing.

The One Bedroom Residence is a great spot to entertain if you have friends and family staying in The Sebastian as well. We ordered several drinks from room service and had a little late night cocktail hour one night - so fun!

Pick your poison!

For photo ops within The Sebastian, the lobby & the fireplace makes for a great bouj background.

The Sebastian has a gorgeous pool with multiple hot tubs that are heated and ready to use year round. There are several biking and hiking trails right by the hotel that the front-desk can advise you on. The hotel offers bicycle rentals on site.

During the winter ski season, Vail Ski Resort is a 2 min walk from the hotel and the Born Free Express Lift is a 15 min walk from the hotel. There are free shuttle services from the hotel to the ski lifts. The Sebastian offers ski equipment rentals and storage for hotel guests.

The Sebastian is in the perfect location in Vail to walk to some of my favorite places:

  • Leonora - located within The Sebastian. Go for dinner and make sure to get the churros for dessert!

  • Vintage - my favorite place for brunch in Vail. Get the bottomless mimosas, avocado toast & pancakes.

  • Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory - sweet snacks. The milk chocolate fudge slaps!

  • La Tour - French Bistro. Amazing dinner spot with superb wines and a fun knowledgeable staff.
