First time to the hotel and Beaver Creek in general.

Pros:
Gorgeous lobby. Rooms (stayed in 2 bed mountain side room) are nice.
Free coffee and lattes in the am.
The on demand shuttle service within Beaver Creek (innl the Ritz) is wonderful.
The fact that the hotel is in the village is super convenient and there's lovely landscaping and sitting, fire pits, etc.
Check in was easy, got into our room an hour before check in.

Cons:
$50 valet is crazy, plus $35 resort fee.
Disappointed with my room. I have status w/Hyatt, the hotel felt pretty vacant and we got what i'm guessing is one of the worst rooms in our category - it was end of the hotel so our mountainside view was mostly of the rocks near the pool.
Also disappointed that I got a blanket no when I asked for later checkout.

We had dinner at the Ritz and I had looked into staying there so it was good to see how it compares. First, it's way more expensive so not the same category as Park Hyatt. Overall, Ritz was super lux mountain resort with tons of gorgeous wood and stone. Park Hyatt felt less mountain-y. If money were no object I'd prob stay at the Ritz but taking advantage of the live usic there and outdoor fire plus dinner was a good balance to then staying at the PArk Hyatt.
