Description All That Glitters: Vail

It's instinctive to expect luxe dwellings from Ritz-Carlton and this modern apartment doesn't disappoint. The home opens up to breathtaking views of the tree-lined Colorado mountains. Depending on the time of year, the expansive windows will show off white slopes or lush green hills - either way, the vistas are best enjoyed from the balcony with a drink in hand. Cosy up on the cushy couches by the sleek fireplace in ski season, and relax at the dining table with fondue and friends. From the ski valet to the yoga centre, and the swimming pool under the skies, this home packs in ski-sessions and trail-heads with a healthy dose of pampering for a perfect trip away from the city.

Home truths:
