Dear Journalist,

It is with great pleasure that I present a press kit for a lodging experience that delights, inspires and cleanses the minds and bodies of guests. Welcome to the Vail Mountain Lodge & Spa (VMLS).

In a world where “bigger is better,” the VMLS prompts a reevaluation of the phrase. Our intimate and invigorating atmosphere will leave you with a feeling of comfort and importance. From the moment that you check in, you become an acquaintance for this visit and those to come.

Housed within is our award-winning restaurant, Terra Bistro, our full service spa and the Vail Athletic Club, Vail Village’s only health club. The commitment to a healthy, mountain lifestyle is apparent in all the parts that are the VMLS. The authenticity of the mountain lifestyle will be evident as you get to know local patrons who have chosen to dine, exercise and receive spa treatments here.

Although it is true that one would never need to leave the VMLS to enjoy an entire vacation, I think that you should. The mountains are our inspiration and the village, the source of Vail’s energy, is right outside the door.

A short walk to Golden Peak and Vail Village, VMLS is a natural choice for those who wish to abandon their cars for the duration of their stay. All of Vail Village is accessible within a short five minute walk.

Please enjoy your stay.  Don’t hesitate to ask me or my staff for anything you may need.

Yours Truly,
Frank Johnson, General Manager

Story Ideas by Department

Spa at Vail Mountain Lodge

Mt. Divas offers members and guests a way to tone their bodies, achieve goals and open their minds.
The “Divas” program offers a variety of outdoor fitness options for Vail Valley locals and guests to Vail alike. Programs range from a bi-weekly running group to goal-oriented regimes that are custom tailored in length. Founder and director, Ellen Miller, is the first American woman to summit Mt. Everest from both the North and South sides. Ellen brings a Himalayan inspired, non-competitive way of training to the Mt. Divas.

Vail Athletic Club

Vail Athletic Club designs programming and classes to improve members’ and guests’ functional fitness in outdoor activities.
“Get in here to get better out there” is the motto of Vail Athletic Club’s (VAC) club manager, Shannon Smith. The VAC employs instructors and trainers who are also avid outdoor sports enthusiasts. Spin classes are taught by cyclists, climbing wall instructors are climbers and the goal of the Vail Athletic Club is functional strength training.

Terra Bistro

Vail restaurant, Terra Bistro, introduces the 1,000 year breakfast.
New for 2006, Terra Bistro will offer the 1,000 year breakfast. No, that does not imply slow service. Instead, it is a sit down breakfast that appeases the health conscious and the traditional breakfast eater with nothing but ingredients that could have been found on the planet 1,000 years ago. Breakfast is served with everything you want to eat and with none of the artificial ingredients used in modern cooking.  By avoiding artificial ingredients including nitrates, hi fructose corn syrup, artificial colorings and artificial flavoring, people can take the first step towards living well.

Lodge

Vail Mountain Lodge & Spa is Vail’s #1 life-style lodging property.
Vail Mountain Lodge & Spa incorporates every aspect of a healthy vacation into a guest’s stay. Guests seeking a rounded, healthy vacation experience should look no farther. The VMLS has Vail’s most progressive, organic spa, a full service athletic club and an award winning restaurant serving Vail’s finest organic and holistic foods. All elements work together to fulfill every aspect of a healthy mind, body and spirit.
