If you’re traveling with children, book a hotel near the Pirate Ship Playground, a play area that has swings, slides, and climbing ropes. The Christiania at Vail hotel is only a 1-minute walk to the playground and a 9-minute walk to the Colorado Ski & Snowboard Museum. The Tivoli Lodge is a high-end hotel just a stroll from the park and the Vail Transportation Center.
