Viceroy Snowmass has 173 "residences," so called because each can be individually owned. They are exquisitely designed with sleek, modern furnishings, flat-screen TVs with DVD player, gas fireplaces and granite countertops. The majority (68) of the rooms are studios with one king bed—cozy for a couple, but not recommended for families. For your family of four, book one of the 10 "one-bedroom/two bath with den" configurations, which have a nifty little "playroom" that can be outfitted with a kid-sized teepee upon request at check-in; kids can sleep on the living room's pull-out sofa, while parents bed down in the king bedroom. Otherwise, there are one-bedroom/one-bath (48 total), two-bedroom/two bath (36), three-bedroom/three bath (9) and massive four-bedroom/four-bath (2) configurations, as well. All have living areas with a pull-out sofa bed.
Studios have kitchenettes, but every other room type has a stocked kitchen (full refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, oven, stove cook-top and all cooking utensils, dishes, flatware and glassware) with top-of-the-line appliances, such as Viking and Wolf. All rooms but the studios have washer/dryers, too. One nice safety feature for families with young children: rooms feature induction cooktops, which mean they only heat the special pots and pans they are designed for (i.e. no little burnt fingers). More nice perks: the deluxe espresso machine with milk frother in each room, and daily maid service includes washing the dirty dishes in your kitchen.
All rooms have deep soaking tubs (and bath amenities by Neil George come in refillable 16-ounce bottles—no little travel-sized bottles clogging up landfills.) In another nod to the environment, the toilets save water with double-flush options. (The newly constructed, environmentally friendly Viceroy Snowmass, has been designed to be eligible for LEED [Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design] Silver specifications.)
The $30 per night, per room resort fee includes wireless Internet in the room (and lobby), daily newspaper delivery, in-room coffee, all day non-alcoholic drinks and treats in the lobby and airport shuttle service.
Be sure to let the Viceroy reservationist know the ages of your children, as in-room amenities should be delivered to your room before you arrive—those might be kid-sized robes, board games or a stuffed animal for use during your stay. The resort also has a limited number of Xbox and Wii systems and games available on a first-come/first-served basis (again, if you let them know you've got video-game-loving kids, the staff may have one set up in your room before you arrive).
If you ask for a crib in the room (or you otherwise tell the staff you have a baby or toddler), you have access to the following items for complimentary use during your stay: bouncy chair, bottle warmer, Diaper Genie, child-friendly bath spout cover, electrical outlet covers, baby bath amenities and baby first aid kit.
