3. Hospitality with Heart
For over 25 years, Edwards’ only independent hotel has prided itself on delivering an unparalleled guest experience. It’s the little things that matter here: complimentary breakfast, free parking, 24/7 Lavazza Coffee & Tea Bar, a fitness center with a view, or an outdoor pool and hot tub overlooking the Eagle River. We even offer a Botanical Buddies Program where you can borrow a plant for your room. And yes, you can purchase and take your leafy friend home if you fall in love.
4. Adventure-Ready Amenities
At The Inn, adventure isn’t just encouraged—it’s provided. No matter the season, our complimentary Gear Garage is stocked and ready for you to play.
In the winter, check out Altas snowshoes, trekking poles, and sleds. Come summer, cruise the bike path with a Specialized Hybrid bike (kid trailers are available for little adventurers) or check out some lawn games.
No matter the season, enjoy a soak in the riverside pool and hot tub, cozy up to the outdoor firepits, and enjoy a warm coffee or hot chocolate from the 24/7 Lavazza Coffee & Tea Bar.
4. Close to it All
If top-notch amenities aren’t enough, The Inn at Riverwalk is perfectly situated for outdoor adventurers. Located right along the Eagle River, the hotel is just steps from bike, fishing, and ski rental shops, making it easy to gear up for your next adventure.
Anglers can rent equipment or book a guided fishing trip with Vail Valley Anglers, just a short walk away. Cyclists have quick access to rental shops and scenic biking trails, while skiers and snowboarders can conveniently pick up gear before heading to one of the nearby resorts.
5. Exclusive Local Partnerships and Perks
Your stay comes with insider access. Guests score exclusive perks with discounts at nearby restaurants, local activity providers, and shops.
6. Leave the Car Keys Behind
Ditch the car keys in your room. The Inn offers complimentary daily ski shuttles to Beaver Creek Mountain so you can hit the slopes without the hassle. Just make sure to sign up to secure your spot the day before.
When you’re back, Riverwalk’s best bars, restaurants, and boutiques are steps from our front door.
7. A Health Haven
Not all adventures have to be adrenaline-fueled. The Vail Valley is home to luxurious spas, holistic health centers, and integrative health services. For those in town for medical care, The Inn provides a peaceful and restorative environment—because healing is better with mountain views. With its close proximity to Edwards Medical Campus, it’s no surprise that many consider it the best hotel in the Vail Valley for patients and their families.

Summers are filled with long, warm days and endless activities—hiking, golfing, ATV & Jeep Tours, biking, fishing, boating, horseback riding, festivals, art, and more. Live music and events fill the Vail Valley almost every night of the week.
In the fall, the air is crisp and the colors are vibrant. Fewer crowds make this season a hidden gem. While Vail and Beaver Creek see many businesses close their doors in Spring and Fall, the Riverwalk in Edwards provides year-round dining and shopping. And, of course, winter transforms the Valley into a snowy wonderland.
9. Rooted In Community
