Nestled along Gore Creek between Vail’s Golden Peak base area and Ford Park, Manor Vail Lodge Renovation has been an integral part of the Vail guest experience for over 50 years. Zehren and Associates, Inc. first worked with Manor Vail 20 years ago and when it came time to upgrade their pool and restaurant spaces, we were again brought on board to provide our vision and expertise to enhance and upgrade several amenities as part of the Manor Vail Lodge Renovation.
The South Pool was completely re-envisioned, raised from its previously sunken location to provide better views, connectivity to the adjacent restaurant space and expanded deck area from what was an outdated and underperforming space. The pool was reshaped and expanded, and the hot tubs set in stone site walls and a new waterfall feature. New landscaping and fencing elevate the aesthetic appeal to create a new space that is an inviting and enjoyable place to relax sore muscles after a day on the slopes in winter, or after biking or hiking in summer.
Directly adjacent to the pool, the newly rebranded Ridge + River restaurant was expanded and updated both inside and out with a new patio that includes a fire pit and retractable canopy and new sliding doors for indoor/outdoor dining. The primary goal for the project was to update the dark, dated space and create a brighter, more modern restaurant; in addition, the selection of finishes, furniture, and lighting provides guests with a more elevated dining experience. Since this space is often used for weddings, the neutrality of the finishes was a key consideration, to allow wedding planners to coordinate with any color scheme. We worked closely with all of their related staff and management to ensure their needs and vision were met.
