You can thank the Arrabelle for injecting life into Lionshead Village. The Vail Resorts-owned hotel opened in 2008 with 62 rooms and suites (plus 25 residences), a rooftop lap pool, and a spa, all spread across 33,000 Bavarian-tinged square feet of retail space. Last season it unveiled Tavern on the Square, whose sunny patio quickly became a prime après spot. arrabelle.rockresorts.com
