Hyatt.com shows that Grand Hyatt Vail is category 7 - same as Park Hyatt Beaver Creek. Interesting to see them on the same tier. PHBC is right in the BC village with more stuffs to do and eat. They have much more expansive pool, hot tubs, and gym. From my experience in the past, breakfast at PHBC was FAR superior than Hotel Talisa's. We will see how Hyatt will change, if anything, to the GH Vail.

Cat 7 feels high for GH Vail. But, during the winter their nightly prepaid rate for the lowest room is still >$1000/nt. So realistically because of how seasonal their prices are it probably does make sense for them to be a Cat 7. It'd be great if they were lower... but for whatever reason Vail is the place to be so it commands a premium even for properties that aren't as high end or have the premium location (in the village)

Designed by the acclaimed LEO A DALY firm, Grand Hyatt Vail completed an extensive multi-million-dollar renovation in 2018. Influenced by the area’s surrounding mountains and history, the hotel’s contemporary guestrooms and common areas offer guests an elevated modern retreat with clean lines, gentle curves and subdued patterns with rich wood, stone and leather textures. The hotel’s artwork and unique interior design touchpoints pay homage to The Southern Ute Native American tribe through local artists and artisans. Striking floor-to-ceiling windows and thoughtful use of lighting and natural materials beckon travelers to pursue their inner adventurer. With more than 30,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meetings and event space, the property provides a great venue for everything from an intimate leadership retreat to theatrical events, weddings and more. The property also features Vail Residences at Cascade Village, comprised of 84 multimillion-dollar rental homes and condominiums which will be managed by Hyatt. Prior to becoming Grand Hyatt Vail, the hotel was branded as Hotel Talisa.

Also announced today is Grand Hyatt Vail’s leadership team: General Manager Dan Johnson and Director of Sales, Marketing & Events Vincent Vito. Johnson joins Grand Hyatt Vail from Hyatt Regency Austin where he served as general manager for the 448-room hotel. This year, he celebrates his 25th anniversary with Hyatt. Vito, an enthusiastic and effective sales leader with more than 23 years of experience, joins from Park Hyatt Beaver Creek, where he served in the same role.

“The Grand Hyatt brand celebrates the iconic in small details and magnificent moments, and Grand Hyatt Vail will confidently deliver on this promise,” said Grand Hyatt Vail General Manager Dan Johnson. “We are excited to bring the Grand Hyatt brand to the captivating destination of Vail and look forward to delivering moments of more for our guests, new colleagues, the Vail community, loyal World of Hyatt members, and beyond.”

The Fireside Lounge overlooks Gore Creek and its vast mountain vistas with floor-to-ceiling windows. Menu options include small bites and soul-warming soups, burgers and flatbreads, as well as a hot chocolate bar and innovative cocktails. The Market offers gourmet-to-go meals and snacks for those on the run.

The Spa at the Grand Hyatt Vail offers 10 well-appointed therapy rooms featuring treatments inspired by nature, a tranquil relaxation room overlooking Gore Creek and the nearby mountains, an upscale full-service salon, spa retail boutique and more. The Spa leads out to the resort’s creek-side infinity pool, hot tubs and firepits. The property features the freestanding 58,000-square foot Aria Club, which will be managed by the Grand Hyatt Vail team. Offering a full array of cardio equipment, group fitness classes, personal training and an outdoor saline pool and sundeck, The Aria Club is the largest fitness facility in Vail. Grand Hyatt Vail works with Venture Sports, which operates the ski valet and provides equipment at the hotel for all types of outdoor adventures.

Great news. I wonder if hotel can retain guest history during system migration? They need to migrate to Hyatt system (is it still OPERA?) but I hope they can retain my past stay history. I am tired of being asked "is this your first stay?" while I have been there dozens of times and can recall better rooms/suites by number. I have stayed under Westin, Destination, Intercontinental Partners, Cascade, Talisa.

I wouldn't hold my breath ... It seems Hyatt's system hides this information extremely well. I stay at 1 property at least once a month, and am almost always asked "Is this your first stay?"

I'll report back on this one in about 3 weeks. I just became aware that it is a Grand hyatt now. I typically stay in the Village during the enter winter, but if I can get points on stays now, I suspect that I will be staying here much more often this winter especially if they take care of top levels. Sadly, after the change in status, I let Hyatt lapse so I am going to have to climb the ladder again unless they honor at status match from Marriott.

They should hire better staff to draft a clear cancellation policy for the Standard Rate rather than this crap:

Cancellation Policy
To Avoid One Night Non-Ref Deposit Cancel 7dys Prior

Any recent stay reports? Glob treatment? I assume parking free and no resort fees on award stays?

Sexy deal for ski season -

jasonvr

Just booked here over Veterans Day weekend to use an expiring Cat1-7 cert. other 2 nights were so cheap couldn’t justify using points. Booked on corporate rate that is slightly higher then the special and is cancellable, but the inclusion of parking is a huge plus for this rate. Bookable directly on Hyatt site without going thru travelzoo (saw it while booking yesterday)

jasonvr

My plans are pretty firm now, so I can stomach the prepayment/no cancellation and switched the last two nights to this rate. $139/night with parking included
