The Perks

Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits at Four Seasons Vail

The program benefits are the same at every hotel. What changes is what they are worth. This is how each one works at this property.

01

Breakfast for two at Tavernetta Vail

Served daily from 7:00 to 11:00 am at Tavernetta, the Italian restaurant that opened in December 2024 with Frasca Hospitality Group. The resort sells the same breakfast as its Bed and Breakfast rate.

02

$100 hotel credit, $200 in suites

One credit per stay, for dining or the spa. It covers an après round at The Remedy or goes towards a treatment at the spa, which Forbes rates Five-Star.

03

Upgrade priority

Every guest room measures the same 53 sq m (575 sq ft), so an upgrade here is about the view: from a Resort or Deluxe Room on the lower floors towards a Premier or Peak Room facing the mountain.

04

Early check-in and late checkout

Priority for both. An early room on arrival day means time to get fitted for skis, and a late checkout helps with the drive back to Denver after a last morning on the mountain.

05

VIP recognition

A welcome amenity and a VIP note on the reservation. We pass on ski sizes, lesson bookings, children's ages and any celebration, so The Chalet has everything ready.

06

Combines with Four Seasons offers

The benefits apply on top of Stay Longer, with the fourth night free on stays of four nights or more, and Advance Purchase, with up to 20 percent off non-refundable rates.

Advisor Picks

Best rooms to book at Four Seasons Vail

The resort has 10 storeys around a sunken pool courtyard. Every room and suite has a gas fireplace, and most open onto a balcony or terrace.

Best value

Resort or Deluxe Room

53 sq m (575 sq ft) with a king or two doubles, a soaking tub and a walk-in closet. Resort Rooms are on floors three and four, and Deluxe Rooms on four to six face the courtyard.

The room to book

Peak Room

The same size, on floors six to eight, with views over Vail Mountain and the pool. King beds only; the Premier Room, with partial mountain views, also comes with two doubles.

Suite with extras

Crestone or Maroon One-Bedroom Suite

99 sq m (1,065 sq ft) facing the mountain and pool, with daily in-room breakfast, laundry and a stocked MyBar included. The Maroon has two balconies and two fireplaces.

Families and ski groups

Private Residences

23 homes with one to six bedrooms, from 146 sq m (1,573 sq ft) to about 534 sq m (5,743 sq ft), with full use of the resort. Pets and rollaways are not allowed in them.

The standard One-Bedroom Suite, 94 sq m (1,017 sq ft), faces the resort and courtyard rather than the mountain.

Before You Go

Advisor tips for Four Seasons Vail

01

Use The Chalet, not the lobby

The resort is about a 10-minute walk from the lifts. Its Chalet, steps from Gondola One, stores skis and boots overnight in warmed lockers, so you walk over in shoes each morning.

02

Check The Chalet's season

The Chalet closes from April to early June and from Labor Day to mid-November. Outside those months, rentals, bike hire and gear storage need another plan.

03

Budget for the resort fee and valet

A resort fee charged as a percentage of the room rate is added, and parking is valet only, charged per night. Our quote shows both alongside the 10.8 percent tax.

04

Compare the specialty suites

The Crestone and Maroon suites cost more than a One-Bedroom Suite but include daily breakfast for the whole suite, laundry and the MyBar, and they face the mountain rather than the courtyard.

05

Book a room if the dog comes

Pets are not permitted in the private residences, but rooms and suites accept them. Tell us at booking so the right category is held.

Shoulder seasons
Late October and early November have the lowest rates, from about $420 a night in October 2026, but The Chalet and the lifts are closed.

Four Seasons Vail FAQs

What is the best way to book Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail?

The best way to book Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail is through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner travel advisor. The advisor books the official Four Seasons rate, with no booking fees, and the reservation adds daily breakfast for two, a $100 hotel credit and upgrade priority.

What are the Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits at Four Seasons Vail in 2026?

Daily breakfast for two per bedroom at Tavernetta Vail, a $100 hotel credit per stay ($200 in suites), a one-category upgrade when available at check-in, priority for early check-in and late checkout, and a welcome amenity with VIP recognition. The benefits combine with the resort's own offers, such as Stay Longer.

Is Four Seasons Preferred Partner an official Four Seasons program?

Yes. Four Seasons Preferred Partner is Four Seasons' own program for invited travel advisors. The benefits are confirmed by the resort on the reservation, not added by a third party, and the rate is the official rate Four Seasons publishes.

Travel advisor vs Amex FHR vs booking direct: which is best for Four Seasons Vail?

A Four Seasons Preferred Partner advisor and Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts (FHR) both add breakfast for two, a $100 credit and upgrade priority at Four Seasons Vail. FHR also guarantees 4:00 pm checkout, but needs an Amex Platinum or Centurion card and a booking through Amex Travel. Preferred Partner needs no card, doubles the credit to $200 in suites and adds VIP recognition. Virtuoso advisors can book Four Seasons Vail with the same core benefits, but Preferred Partner is Four Seasons' own in-house program, and its bookings get higher priority for upgrades and recognition. Booking direct at fourseasons.com costs the same and adds none of these, because Four Seasons has no points programme.

Is Four Seasons Vail ski-in/ski-out?

No. The resort is at the entrance to Vail Village, about a 10-minute walk or short shuttle ride from the lifts. Its slope-side Chalet, steps from Gondola One, stores your skis and boots overnight, handles rentals and tuning, and serves breakfast and lunch in a top-floor lounge.

Which room should I book at Four Seasons Vail?

A Peak Room, on floors six to eight, facing Vail Mountain and the pool. All guest rooms are 53 sq m (575 sq ft) with a fireplace, so the view is what you pay for. For a suite, the Crestone and Maroon face the mountain and include breakfast and laundry.

Which airport is closest to Four Seasons Vail?

Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE), 56 km (35 miles) away, is 30 to 45 minutes by car and has nonstop flights on American, Delta and United in season. Denver International (DEN) has far more flights but is about 2 hours away over mountain passes.

Does Four Seasons Vail charge a resort fee?

Yes. Four Seasons Vail adds a resort fee charged as a percentage of the room rate, and Vail's sales and lodging taxes add 10.8 percent. Parking is valet only and charged per night. We show the full total, with fees and taxes, before you book.

Does it cost more to book Four Seasons Vail through Four Seasons Preferred Partner?

No. The Four Seasons Preferred Partner rate matches the rate the hotel publishes itself, and we charge no booking fees. The benefits are added at no extra cost.

Can Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits be added to a Four Seasons Vail booking I have already made?

Usually, yes, if you booked directly with the hotel. Send us your confirmation and the benefits can be added with the dates, rate, room type and cancellation policy unchanged. Bookings made through an online travel agency cannot be moved.
