Kirkwood Mountain Resort

The Promenade essay

What it feels like to stay here

Kirkwood's booking map splits the resort into three lodging pockets — Kirkwood Village, The Meadows, and Timber Ridge — so guests choose a corner of the basin before they choose a room. The Mountain Club anchors Kirkwood Village as a true ski-in/ski-out hotel, placing guests steps from the slopes. The Sentinels complex is presented as Kirkwood lodging at its finest, sitting a quick walk or a short shuttle ride from the lifts and the village core. Timber Ridge gathers luxurious condo rentals in townhome form right in the middle of the resort. The Meadows region is described as the resort's most popular choice, an affordable and centrally located base that guests are reluctant to leave. Travelers can sort the inventory by hotel or condo and then layer on amenity filters for a pool, a hot tub, on-site dining, WiFi, or a kitchen. Proximity filters separate genuine ski-in/ski-out doors from lodging a five-to-ten-minute walk away, places served by the shuttle, and units that require driving to the lifts. Epic Pass holders pull 20 percent off lodging through Epic Mountain Rewards, with no sign-up and no restricted days. Those same rewards extend 20 percent savings to food, lessons, and rentals across the company's North American resorts. Guests who later find a lower rate can have the reservations team validate and honor it live over the phone at (844) 471-3753. Vacation Planning Experts answer daily from 8am to 4:30pm Pacific and can bundle lodging with lift tickets, lessons, rentals, activities, and transportation. The whole operation runs under Vail Resorts Management Company.
