Salon Mario Russo at Stowe Mountain Lodge in Stowe, VT

This was my first time at this resort & I loved it.

The room was clean with plenty of space, the bathroom with separate shower & tub was huge. (Shower products were pretty subpar so absolutely bring your own. Hand soap super drying.) Couch & chairs super comfy, balcony with beautiful view of mountain was unbeatable. Bed was too firm, not comfortable at all, we had trouble sleeping each night.

Spa was an amazing experience for me. Opted for the Stowe Cider treatment & it was truly epic. Spa amenities were nice & clean. Separate male & female hot tubs, steam rooms, & saunas. Access to outdoor pool which is also for the rest of pool go-ers so not the most peaceful. Relaxation room with delicious ginger tea & comfy chairs & breathtaking views. Clean & modern treatment room. Amazing masseuse.

On premise dining at Alpine Hall was pretty terrible, hence the lack of star. Food was almost inedible. Dessert was GREAT though, maple creme brûlée!!! Huge chocolate layer cake.

Included breakfast also at Alpine Hall left a lot to be desired.

Whistle Pig was cute to stop in and grab a drink at but the pretzel was so salty it was almost inedible.

Stores & waffle stand next to ice skating rink which has a couple little cabanas with fire pits & seating. Great for families. Lift & gazebo right outside the back of the hotel, insanely convenient.

Valet staff was amazing & helpful. Snowboard valet messed up the name on my board so there was a small but fixable hiccup.

If you drive an EV, they'll charge it for you at no additional fee beyond the daily valet cost.

I will note that one side of the lodge seemed a bit more dated than the room we ended up moving into for an upgrade fee.

There was also a bit of a language barrier with some of the front desk staff which is partially made up of exchange students that are part of their hospitality major/studies. These students move through each different department within the hotel so we unfortunately experienced a person with limited knowledge which made check in a bit stressful. The language barrier also proved another issue when making spa reservation.

Fitness facility is recently re-done as of November 2023. Up-to-date equipment, fantastic treadmills, other equipment, plenty of weight training options, stair machine. The hotel offer classes that you can sign up for as well for an additional fee. One bonus was that you could attend fitness classes for free on the day of your spa services.

Cannot wait to go back. Cute town 12 minutes or less away.

This Lodge is about 15 minutes from Downtown Stowe.  It's on a two lane dark road if you are coming up at night.  Just be very careful on this road.  The Lodge is beautiful and feels luxurious. There are 2 restaurants inside of the Lodge that's right by the Lobby.  The bar is pretty big and spacious.  Drink prices are pretty on point with other places in the area.  Expect to pay around $20 for a cocktail and about $9-$10 for a beer.  
The swimming pool area is pretty big and heated during the cold weather.  The jacuzzi is a definite place to at when it's cool outside while enjoying a beer.  Unfortunately, it closes at 10pm and there are crew members that will kick you out right at 10pm.  I wish it was 24 hours like other Hyatt resorts or at least close at 12am.  We are on vacation, we shouldn't have to be restricted to such an early closure.  The rooms are on the small side if there are 2 beds.  The bed was on the firm side, so if that's what you like, then you will love their beds.  There's a fireplace that can heat up your room very fast.  The bathrooms are pretty big with the toilet being in a separate room.  We had a shower and tub in ours, but only 1 sink.  I love that it's located in the Village where there are restaurants, coffee shops and shopping right downstairs.  During the winter months, they set up an ice rink.  This place reminds me of the Village in Mammoth.  We were here during off peak time so there wasn't a lot of people around and felt kind of dead.  Which I like because we didn't have to deal with crowds or wait times.  I just wished we would have stayed her an extra day or two instead of driving back to Boston.

I stayed here a few years back with my wife and was extremely happy. Beautiful views awesome rooms and great food. The staff was amazing and I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

This was our second year staying and once again we had a lovely time. The hotel is beautiful, the valet staff is the best and the woman at check in gave us a better view after we talked about having just moved 2 kids into college.

The room was spacious, clean and the temperature control of the room was great. We had a small stocked kitchen that was great for making breakfasts. The bed was king, and while somehow comfy it was hard as a rock. My hips would've preferred it to be softer. The sheets were fantastic, nice and cool just wish the bottom sheet was a fitted sheet and not a plain top sheet used as a fitted sheet.

The pool was nice and heated. Just wish there was adults only hot tubs as there were tons of kids in them. We had a couples massage that was lovely.

All in all, another great stay!

Heterotopia if you're youngish, whitish and have children. This monstrosity is a disgrace to the state of Vermont, yet I've been visiting a few times a year for over a decade. I can't quite decide if it's better or worse since Hyatt bought the hotel and Vail bought the mountain. The amount of development, poor land usage, and natural resource mismanagement makes me want to cry in a corner. Did the state and local government all die or give up? This has become a playground for the uber wealthy who complain about their lemon drops and espresso martinis. Whistle Pig pavilion and a members only club? I bet that's a riveting, diverse group sipping their cognac. Screaming children in the pool at 8 am, executives in pink shirts and sports coats in the evening. Workers making $15/hr and driving 45 minutes to each way to work. Can we get more towels to the room? Help me find a golf cart to get the fuck outta here. I will probably never come back.
