PB hotel design editorial

At 8,100 feet above sea level on a ski-in, ski-out slope in Beaver Creek's Bachelor Gulch village, a compound of hand-hewn log construction and rough-cut stone rises against the Gore Range in a massing that deliberately echoes the great National Park lodges of the early twentieth century. The Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch, designed by architect Barry Begel and opened in 2002, extends across roughly 180 rooms and residences arranged in interconnected wings that step down the mountain in a series of gabled dormers, stacked-timber balconies, and fieldstone chimneys — an approach that keeps the building from registering as a single institutional block and instead gives it the feeling of a high-altitude village assembled over time. Inside, a recent refresh has pulled the guest rooms away from their original dark-rustic register toward something considerably more considered: reclaimed-wood plank ceilings, warm linen-toned wallcovering, and leather-trimmed upholstered benches sit alongside Colorado-themed artwork — an elk portrait above one headboard, a high-plains landscape above another — that grounds the palette without leaning into kitsch. The restaurant spaces work a taller, more dramatic scale, with amber-stained leather wall panels and live-edge communal tables anchored beneath large-format aspen-grove canvases. The heated outdoor pool, steaming against winter air at dusk, frames the full timber-and-stone elevation in a way that makes the building's ambitions legible: this is mountain architecture reaching for permanence rather than novelty.

"My wife and I stayed at the Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch in early July. We traveled there to escape the heat of south Louisiana. We had no real agenda other than to be pampered. We reserved the Club Floor; when we walked in, we were kindly greeted by McKinely who escorted us up to the lounge on the 8th floor where she took care of our check-in. We were given Champagne during our brief wait for our room to get ready. We were well taken care of by George (Cosmin) and Rafael. They immediately made us feel at home - making sure our glasses stayed filled after our long trip. About two hours after we arrived, the electricity went out in the entire county. Other than emergency lighting, there was nothing. We had dinner reservations at WYLD - so we went down to see what was going on. To our surprise, the hotel started cooking hamburgers for everyone "on the house." The place was full of happy people. You would never know that there was a potentially serious problem going on. The service staff made everyone feel at home and comfortable during what turned out to be a 12 hour outage. I have personally never seen anything like this - the leadership at the Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch must be incredible because it was evident in the culture on display that evening. I would like to specifically point out Dragana, Arun, Isyana, and Jeff. Ryan Albin took care of us for most of the week in the Club Lounge. He was very focused on our needs including transportation to and from the various restaurants. Almira Takata was a superstar throughout our stay as well. She was unrelenting in her responsibilities of making sure that my wife and I and all the guests were taken care of. Other servers that were so dedicated were Yasmine and Almira. Always with smiles on their faces. On the last day, Julio Tapia took the time to make sure we had an awesome experience hiking up to Beaver Lake. He showed us where to go and how to get there. Overall - just incredible service from individuals who are clearly well-coached. We felt like we mattered the entire time we were there. Thank you to everyone who made our stay so special !"

"The arrival experience is magical. Turning past lush landscape into the auto court feels intimate and special. Valet guys in cowboy hats a nice western welcome. Front desk staff is friendly and helpful. Our 1-bedroom suite was spacious. Although it looked like the furniture had been refreshed, the bathroom is dated. The outdoor pool is in a beautiful setting but very small for the number of hotel rooms. Chaise lounge chairs filled up by 11:00 am. The outdoor furniture (sofas) on the patio seats are super deep, which makes them awkward to be comfortable. Not typical for Ritz's brand standard. Recommend getting out early for hiking. There are several loops that start from the hotel. Free on-call shuttle to Beaver Creek Village and other destinations is great. It is a very popular time of year for families. Lot and lots of kids under the age of 5. We should have thought of that before booking a couple's getaway. We might come back in the fall for a quieter experience."

"What a spectacular property -- all aspects of our stay were exceptional! Before we even arrived, Carla (with the concierge team) provided recommendations for activities, restaurants, and more, and, knowing we were celebrating a special occasion, really went above and beyond to ensure our stay was a special one. It was, and Carla was a star for us! Absolutely everyone we interacted with provided exceptional customer service. Ryan at the front desk made sure everything was perfect upon check in. The valet team was friendly, unbelievably quick, and always made sure we had everything we needed before heading out for our various outings. Housekeeping was incredible -- this had to be one of the cleanest properties we've stayed at! And the food. Wow. Wyld is a world-class restaurant and deserves all the positive recognition it has received. We were in Denver and Boulder prior to our arrival and had some outstanding meals -- without question, the best dinner of our trip was at Wyld. For that matter, the best breakfast of the trip was at Wyld as well...I guess we should have gone there for lunch to complete the trifecta! We felt so very lucky, felt so incredibly spoiled, and so sincerely enjoyed a magical trip to Bachelor Gulch. We truly believed the staff at this special property wanted us to have the perfect stay -- we really did."
