The Ritz Carlton Bachelor’s Gulch is truly a skier’s paradise! From the moment we arrived under the log porte-cochère, we knew we had stepped into heaven. The entire lodge has the feel of a warm log cabin, with upscale features. Friendly faces are all around to tend to one’s every need. This ski in resort takes going to the slopes to another level. You are mere footsteps to the chair lift that will whisk you away to the best slopes we have experienced in quite a while. There is a ski shop right on property where you can buy lift tickets, rent equipment, and buy clothing items for your time on the slope. Very convenient! If other forms of exercise is what you are looking for, the Ritz has a wonderful workout facility adjacent to a spa that hosts a “grotto” for your relaxation pleasure. There is also a massive swimming pool and hot tubs if you would like to take a dip, while snow tumbles all around you. As far as restaurant choices go, we had the chance to experience Wyld-upscale dining with an open kitchen and views of the slopes. There are also other options such as Sakaba, the Japanese restaurant on property, The Market for quick bites, and the Fireside Bar for apres ski delights. The rooms have had a pleasant makeover and they are quite beautiful with a modern flair. The beds are very comfortable and the bath products smell terrific! The hotel has thought ahead by having humidifiers in the rooms since the air is dry, which is a special touch. Housekeeping did an awesome job at keeping things fresh and feeling like everyday was the first day. We stayed on club level which made meals and lounging time something that we didn’t have to plan for. The five food offerings met the needs of both adults and children, never leaving anyone hungry. This area took the stay to another level! Again, the Ritz knows how to give its guests a pleasurable stay with its service. In particular, Anna and Enrique on Club did an EXCELLENT job!!! We have stayed here in the past and this stay reminded us as to why we always keep coming back. You will not be disappointed with your trip to Bachelor Gulch when choosing the Ritz Carlton!

This hotel is more like a rundown, outdated ski chalet than your typical Ritz Carlton. We stayed there for a couple of days on a ski trip. Among the pros of staying there are the location, beautiful mountain views and easy access to skiing, basically you can store your skis and equipment with their storage service, then hop on the chair lift with easy subsequent access to many trails. But here is where the positives ended for us. We had a room with club lounge access. I don't think I am exaggerating when I characterize the food offerings in the club as borderline non-edible. They are serving chicken tenders in the club that looked and felt like rubber, cheese fries that were left there for hours, just to give some examples. The alcohol offerings were mediocre at best and downgraded from the same period last year. We complained to the management of the club about the food and alcohol offerings, and were promised improvements that never materialized. Upon following up, all we got was just lip service about how hard they are trying to meet our expectations, but nothing was done in the end. We ate at Wyld and Sakaba. At Wyld we literally waited 15 minutes to be seated while the only hostess was chatting with some self-entitled customers who had no regard of the fact that there were other customers waiting. Sakaba was out of quite a few items on the menu, with the justification of approaching the end of the season (so?). The ski service downstairs was better, but even they had issues with finding my ski and boots reservation - once they found it, it was a smooth process. In order to avoid a looming snow storm and drive safely to Denver, we decided to leave a day early and were promised not to be charged for that night. Sadly, this promise was not kept and they even charged us for overnight parking for that day, despite leaving before the check-in time (that charge was removed upon me calling to complain, but not the nightly charge). All in all, we will not return. The only thing Ritz-like at this hotel is the exorbitant prices they charge for the rooms and food on-site. I accepted these prices expecting the requisite value in return, which unfortunately was severely lacking.
