Late this summer, Vail Village, the 207-room Vail Plaza Hotel & Club, will open its doors. This will be the first hotel to open in the heart of Vail Village in more than 40 years, featuring standard guest rooms and four-bedroom suites. The architecture of the Vail Plaza Hotel & Club was inspired by structures found in the Italian Alps and includes copper towers and rooftops, gables and stonework. Too, the seven-story property features stone fireplaces, handcrafted chandeliers and beamed ceilings. Vail Plaza Hotel & Club will house two restaurants: Ristorante Da Vinci, offering Italian fine dining, and Galileo, providing American fare. Call 970-477-8000 or visit [www.vailplazahotel.com].
