TLDR: 
Massive Update: The property recently finished a $40 million renovation, transitioning to a "modern alpine chalet" look with 190 rooms and 23 suites.
Ultimate Location: For families, the resort is virtually unbeatable; the entrance is only 45 steps from the ski school.
Altitude Hack: Booking a Pure Wellness room ($10–$25 premium) provides medical-grade air purification and lower humidity, which can significantly reduce altitude sickness.
Suite Luxury: The Rial Oxford Suite is the premier choice, featuring two bedrooms and a 1,500-square-foot wrap-around balcony overlooking the village.
Summer Savings: While winter rooms can exceed $2,000, summer rates can drop to approximately $231/night with Hyatt Privé benefits included.
The "Cookie Rule": Every day at 3:00 PM, the village serves free warm chocolate chip cookies—but be prompt, as they vanish within 15 minutes.
Exceptional Service: Despite the "circus" of peak season, the staff earned high marks for handling a "missing ski boot" crisis by fully reimbursing the guest and providing bonus points.
Donut Deal: Visit Northside Kitchen in Avon for half-off donuts and pastries after the ski day ends.
Wellness Ritual: The Exhale Spa offers a signature water ritual, a five-step process involving Roman baths and thermal plunges.
Laundry Lifesaver: Unlike most luxury hotels, there is self-service laundry on-site for roughly $3 a wash, making it much easier to pack light for bulky ski trips.
