Dining at the Arrabelle:
A French-inspired brasserie, Centre V is the Arrabelle's on-site eatery, conceived by the owner and head chef of Vail's award-winning Larkspur restaurant. Starting with breakfast, the menu — which includes lobster scrambled eggs and quiches du jour — is rich and creative. At dinner, choose from French favorites — sole meuniere, roasted baby chicken, duck leg confit. Each day a different specialty from the Gallic repertoire — coq au vin, beef bourguignon, bouillabaisse — tempts.

Nearby the Arrabelle:

Winter lovers can experience a wide variety of activities to enjoy outdoors, from skiing and snowboarding to back-country tours and dog sledding. Summer visitors can golf at the new Red Sky Ranch, go whitewater rafting, take horseback rides, and even participate in cattle drives. And lovers can float through the sky on a hot-air balloon.

Is the Arrabelle Right for You?:
The Arrabelle is a high-end resort, with amenities (e.g. ski and boot valet) and rates to match. Note: Couples who are not accustomed to spending time at high elevations may find themselves initially tired and winded in Vail. So take it easy for the first couple of days as you adjust to the altitude. If you find yourself feeling light-headed, dizzy, or nauseous, seek lower ground.

As a special convenience, the Arrabelle Web site has a concierge form, where guests can in advance arrange spa appointments, tee times, dinner reservations, request transportation, and more. In the afternoons, the Great Room at the hotel offers guests cold drinks and snacks.
