The Arrabelle anchors Lionshead with a European village look, ski-in, ski-out access and the Eagle Bahn Gondola steps from the lobby. The heated rooftop pool and hot tubs look straight at Vail Mountain, and Tavern on the Square covers slopeside meals and après.
I recommend it for families and Epic Pass skiers who want slopeside convenience without the Vail Village crowds. The trade-off is that lower room categories face the village, and the pool and spa get busy in the afternoon.
