Gravity Haus Vail

Gravity Haus Vail is a hotel-based wellness and fitness club in the middle of Vail Village, on E Meadow Drive near Gore Creek. It's built around a mix of recovery amenities and active fitness rather than a traditional treatment-heavy spa, though massages and bespoke treatments are offered too.

The self-guided side of things includes open-air hot tubs, a cold plunge, a sauna and a salt room, all meant for loosening up after a day on the mountain. There's also a full gym with locker rooms and showers, plus expert-led strength, fitness and yoga classes. A coworking space with fast WIFI and coffee rounds out the building, useful if someone's splitting the day between slopes and a laptop.

Access is normally limited to hotel guests and Gravity Haus members, but a day pass opens up the gym, classes, locker rooms, hot tubs, cold plunge, sauna and coworking area to outside visitors. The day pass runs $65. Parking isn't included and isn't cheap - self parking is about $60/day, valet is $80 ($70 for members) - so factor that into the cost if driving in.

Gym and coworking hours run 6am to 9pm. The property also houses Sloperoom, a restaurant serving coffee from 7am to 3pm and dinner/aprés from 5 to 9pm, open every day, with dinner reservations recommended. This is a good option for travelers who want recovery amenities and a workout without committing to a full hotel stay, especially groups splitting lodging and wellness across the Gravity Haus network.
