Vail, Colorado – January 30, 2018 – Not one, not two, but three of the top travel trends for 2018 are addressed in the latest package being offered by the amenities-packed and Platinum-rated Antlers at Vail hotel in Vail, Colorado.
A recent Forbes forecast for what to expect in the year ahead revealed that the top three most popular luxury travel trends of 2018 include seasoned travelers looking to visit cold destinations instead of hot; folks seeking to push themselves outside of their comfort zones by trying new activities and exploring new places; and continued interest in multigenerational trips and travel with immediate family.
This news prompted Antlers at Vail to create its Beat the Heat package, inviting families to chill out in the Rocky Mountains this summer, June 1 – Sept. 30, 2018, with family-friendly value pricing. Beat the Heat includes three nights’ lodging, a complimentary pool toy for the kids for use in the Antlers’ stunning mountainside pool, and delicious icy treats for four from Vail’s Rimini Gelato & Café, which sits within easy walking distance.

Adding to the fun, the Eagle Bahn Gondola is just steps from the Antlers’ front door, carrying guests to the full array of Vail Epic Discovery action – with its Alpine Coaster, ziplines and adventure courses – as well as shady high-elevation hikes, including one to take in a waterfall. Meanwhile, all around the Vail Valley, the natural resources feature snow-fed streams for whitewater adventures and fly fishing, as well as thousands of acres of preserved open space for hiking and mountain biking. Closer to town, miles of paved recreational paths and open road for road bikers abound, or visitors can simply watch the kids splash and play in one of Vail’s inviting fountains.
“There are few things more rewarding than the opportunity to be a meaningful part of families forging stronger bonds and making memories that will last a lifetime,” says Magda King, Antlers’ General Manager. “In addition, the Vail Valley’s Rocky Mountain location offers cooler temps in the summer than much of the country, which makes it more fun to be outdoors trying out new adventures in this gorgeous area that is jam-packed with unique experiences.”

The Beat the Heat package pampers guests with Antlers’ spacious condominiums, ranging in size from studio to four bedrooms, all of which feature fully equipped kitchens – ideal for creating home-cooked meals after visiting Vail’s popular Sunday farmer’s market – as well as flat-screen TVs and DVD players, private balconies and free WiFi. This special deal also includes the abundance of appealing amenities that are the hallmark of this inviting lodging: complimentary bike rentals for cruising around town, unlimited Vail Athletic Club access, free twice-weekly yoga classes, loaner GoPro cameras for capturing all the action, free shuttle for grocery pickup and specialty kitchen appliances like espresso machines and crockpots. And no resort fees means families are left with more mad money to spend on themselves.
Antlers at Vail’s Beat the Heat package is available June 1 – Sept. 30, 2018; the 3-night value package includes a 20% lodging discount with rates starting from $744 for a one-bedroom with bunks condo for a family of four. Bring the family pet along for just $25 a night (advance reservation required). Tax not included, no resort fee, and subject to availability.
