The Grand Colorado on Peak 8 is the mecca for a luxury ski trip, ski-in, ski-out experience! It’s tucked away a little further from Main Street, but you can take the gondola right into town or a quick bus ride or a quick 5 minute drive. They have so many amenities and more of a resort like experience.

It’s steps away from the Colorado SuperChair, but my personal favorite thing about it is their slopeside hot tubs and pools. They have a spa, on-site restaurants, bars, coffee shops, an arcade, and even a private movie theatre (highly recommend reserving a spot.) This is one of my favorite spots for a treat yo’self staycation!

• On-site restaurants and bars
• Personal movie theatre
• Onsite spa
