But when you&#8217;re ready to splurge on a ski trip near <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Denver.d178254.Destination-Travel-Guides\">Denver<\/a>, I suggest going big and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Denver-Hotels.d178254.Travel-Guide-Hotels\">booking a property<\/a> that offers not only a cozy place to rest your head at night, but also pampering spa treatments, fine dining, or rock-star access to the chairlifts so you can make the most of Colorado&#8217;s sunny ski days.<\/p>\n<p>Here are my picks for upscale ski hotels that are less than a two-hour drive from Denver International Airport. After all, once you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Cheap-Flights-To-Denver.d178254.Travel-Guide-Flights\">fly into Denver<\/a>, the last thing you want to do is spend an inordinate amount of time in the car (or a shuttle) getting to the slopes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One Ski Hill Place, Breckenridge <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This luxury property in Breckenridge opened in 2010 to great fanfare, namely because of its choice location at the base of the ski area&#8217;s Peak 8. When I stayed at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Summit-County-Hotels-One-Ski-Hill-Place.h3485510.Hotel-Information\">One Ski Hill Place<\/a> last winter, my family&#8217;s two-bedroom unit was literally a stone&#8217;s throw to the lifts; I could have tossed a snowball from our balcony onto skiers making their way to fresh tracks in the early morning.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"full-width-image-container lansdscape-206e34a7-50ee-63e1-bbde-ff000073f150\">\n<div class=\"full-width-image-shadow\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"full-width-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"landscape-206e34a7-50ee-63e1-bbde-ff000073f150\" src=\"\/images\/default-source\/user-kara-williams\/14-ice-rink-[size_1230x470].jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Guest rooms here range from studios to four-bedroom &#8220;residences,&#8221; and indeed, the multi-bedroom accommodations are incredibly homey, with full kitchens, living and dining areas, washer and dryers, and gas fireplaces. Other nice features include granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, large soaking tubs, casual breakfast-bar seating, and large entryways for easy storage of winter boots, ski jackets, and snowpants.<\/p>\n<p>Families flock to the large indoor pool with a shallow water-play area for toddlers. Two hot tubs&#8211;one inside the sunny atrium, one outside behind a private gate&#8211;are marvelous places to soak after a day on the trails. For still more family fun, One Ski Hill Place has a two-lane indoor bowling alley designed to look like a mine shaft. The attraction pays homage to the area&#8217;s history as a booming gold-mining town in the 19th century. Note that there is a $30\/night resort fee to cover some of these fun perks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keystone Lodge &amp; Spa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Summit-County-Hotels-Keystone-Lodge-Spa-By-Keystone-Resort.h16001.Hotel-Information\">Keystone Lodge &amp; Spa<\/a> does not have ski-in\/ski-out access&#8211;guests need to take a complimentary, five-minute shuttle ride to the gondola at River Run Village to reach Keystone&#8217;s slopes&#8211;but it is adjacent to Keystone Lake, the largest, Zamboni-maintained outdoor ice rink in North America. It&#8217;s easy for overnight guests to take some turns on this five-acre attraction, which sits at 9,321 feet in elevation.<\/p>\n<p>Rooms at Keystone Lodge &amp; Spa are alpine rustic, with pine furnishings, plaid drapes, and soft, striped bed pillows that set a snug, cozy tone. The $20 nightly resort fee includes some appreciated amenities and services (in addition to the private ski shuttle to the lifts), such as in-room WiFi, overnight ski check at the base of the gondola in River Run Village, and a &#8220;fast pass&#8221; to skip to the front of the gondola line before 10 a.m.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Viewfinder Tip: For more fine ski hotels near Denver, check out these profiles of luxurious properties in <a href=\"https:\/\/viewfinder.expedia.com\/denver\/upscale-hotels-in-and-near-vail\">Vail and Beaver Creek<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a spa goer, make time for a treatment at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.keystoneresort.com\/activities\/keystone-spa.aspx\">on-site spa<\/a>. All guests have access to an on-site fitness center, indoor hot tub, outdoor pool, sauna, and eucalyptus steam room (which I also highly recommend). But I&#8217;d go the extra mile and book a hot stone massage, moisturizing facial, or &#8220;Sweet Feet Pedicure&#8221; to help soothe sore muscles after a day of skiing. I also suggest an &#8220;add-on&#8221; service enhancement, such as a $15 pre-massage foot soak, administered in the warm relaxation room in front of a roaring fireplace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vail Cascade Resort &amp; Spa<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Vail-Beaver-Creek-Hotels-Vail-Cascade-Resort-Spa-Destination-Hotels-Resorts.h20567.Hotel-Information\">Vail Cascade Resort &amp; Spa<\/a>, in Cascade Village, fronts pine-tree-flanked Gore Creek in West Vail. The property may not be in the thick of the bustling pedestrian-friendly, shopping- and dining-centric areas of Vail Village or Lionshead, but I appreciate its slightly remote location for a retreat feel. Plus, it&#8217;s hardly inconvenient for skiers: The Cascade Village Lift 20 is on site, which means guests can suit up for the slopes and walk just a few steps from the lobby level to head up the mountain. An on-site ski concierge stores boots, boards, and skis overnight.<\/p>\n<div class=\"small-width-image-container lansdscape-f56e34a7-50ee-63e1-bbde-ff000073f150\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"landscape-f56e34a7-50ee-63e1-bbde-ff000073f150\" src=\"\/images\/default-source\/user-kara-williams\/14-gore-creek-[size_512x290].jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"Title\">Gore Creek from room at Vail Cascade<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Lodging options here are varied: You can stay in a hotel room with plush-down comforters, and overstuffed pillows that set a warm, homey feel; or you can book a condominium or private residence with full kitchen and access to amenities such as a shuttle to Lionshead and Vail Village and an infinity-edge, heated swimming pool facing Gore Creek. Kids love the free s&#8217;mores and hot chocolate a the hotel fire pit, a fun event that is held numerous times every week during the ski season. Fitness enthusiasts appreciate the Aria Athletic Club &amp; Spa, which offers an incredible array of cardio and strength-training equipment, plus a running track, basketball courts, indoor tennis courts, steam rooms, and indoor hot tubs. (A $27\/night resort fee is charged, covering the above amenities and services, plus internet access, too.)<\/p>\n<p>Dining at Vail Cascade is quite good. The main restaurant <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vailcascade.com\/atwater\/\">Atwater on Gore Creek<\/a> focuses on American favorites with a Colorado bent. For example, its grill features lamb chops and beef filet from meat sourced in-state. Other favorites include rainbow trout, duck breast, and crispy pork shank. Vegetarian items are available, such as an &#8220;herbivore&#8221; pizza (gluten-free crust is offered) or a yellow lentil hummus &#8220;small plate.&#8221; The restaurant&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vailcascade.com\/atwater\/vail-restaurant-craft-beer-menu.php\">craft beer list<\/a> is vast; each dinner-menu item is paired with a suggested international or domestic brew. Dine in the more casual, airy terrace area, or settle into a swanky leather booth in the modern main dining room.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Where do you like to overnight when you
