Our Take: This massive Ritz-Carlton resort near the Beaver Creek Ski Resort looks as though it's bursting from the mountainside. Guests love the traditional ski-chalet feel, from the exposed wood beams and stone walls of the lobby to the cozy fireplaces found in many of the guestrooms. For skiers, The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch features an in-house ski and snowboard outfitter and a ski concierge, and the $30 resort fee covers access to snowshoeing equipment, if you're so inclined. If the slopes aren't calling your name, spend a day rejuvenating at the 21,000-square-foot Bachelor Gulch Spa while your children participate in one of the resort's kids' programs. Then, regroup for dinner; visitors say that the cuisine at Spago (owned by famed Chef Wolfgang Puck) lives up to its reputation. And for a more casual atmosphere, guests recommend the Buffalo Bar. Because The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch is part of the Marriott Hotels Group, rewards points are accepted here.
