The Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch

Tucked in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Colorado is a place where rugged peaks, pine forests, and wide-open skies set the scene for serious relaxation. Towns like Aspen, Vail, and Steamboat Springs mix small-town charm with a love of the outdoors, making the lure of a spoiling spa even greater after a strenuous day of activity. Here, spa resorts range from upscale mountain lodges with world-class wellness facilities to laid-back hotels offering hot springs and locally inspired treatments. Whether you’re after luxury, value, or a little mountain magic, these are the best spa resorts in Colorado.

For a mountain lodge

The Hythe

  • Modern mountain chic combines with playful sophistication at The Sebastian, a vibrant Vail Village resort. Expect art-filled interiors, a lively bar scene, and a stylish outdoor pool overlooking the slopes. After a day on the mountain, unwind at Bloom Spa’s steam rooms and saunas before dining on global tapas beneath Leonora’s glowing wine tower.
  • The Hythe is an elegant alpine escape where rustic charm and refined luxury converge. Suites feature fireplaces, soaking tubs, and balconies with Rocky Mountain views. The spa feels like a mountain apothecary — CBD treatments and oxygen therapy soothe ski-weary muscles. Four inventive dining spots, a lively Après Deck with firepits, and adventure concierge experiences complete the indulgence.

For families

The Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch

  • Adventure and alpine elegance meet in the heart of the San Juan Mountains at Telluride's Madeline Hotel. Rustic wood furnishings and chic marble bathrooms set a warm, luxurious tone. Dine at Black Iron Kitchen & Bar for elevated American classics, then unwind in the tranquil spa where you can experience nature-inspired therapies, designed to restore the body after outdoor exertions. A year-round kids’ club, mountain trails, fishing, and tennis make it a family favourite.
  • The Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch offers a modern mountain retreat with chalet-inspired interiors, stone fireplaces, and sweeping alpine views. Families can dive into endless outdoor adventures — from rafting to skiing — while the spa pampers with Colorado-inspired treatments.
