4- and 5-star hotels in Keystone
Four- and five-star hotels in Keystone, Colorado: two resort addresses run by Vail Resorts plus condos, townhomes and private homes across the base areas. It is for skiers, summer golfers and families who want space, kitchens and parking close to the lifts.
Staying in Keystone
Keystone is a resort community rather than a town in the usual sense, unincorporated and spread across several villages in Summit County. The Snake River runs through the valley, the resort's two golf courses are laid out along it, and White River National Forest trails and scenery sit around the whole area. Winter brings skiing and snowboarding, with night skiing on Dercum Mountain; summer shifts to golf, hiking and biking, and the Keystone Conference Center draws meetings and events. For groceries, restaurants and a marina on Dillon Reservoir, Dillon is a few miles west, with Silverthorne and Frisco also close by.
The hotels here cluster in River Run and at the eastern addresses along the US Highway 6 corridor. River Run is the main base area, where condominiums, shops and restaurants sit within walking distance of the River Run Gondola; Lakeside Village is quieter, near Keystone Lake, the conference center and the golf courses; East Keystone is residential, with private homes and townhomes along the Snake River. Couples can pick a gondola-side condo, families the homes with kitchens and family rooms, and groups the multi-bedroom houses. Business visitors are well placed for the conference center.
