Review: Gravity Haus Breckenridge

Powder hounds got a new reason to cheer when Gravity Haus, a 60-room ski-in/ski-out boutique hotel, opened in 2019 at the base of Breckenridge Ski Resort’s Peak 9. The lobby has an Alpine-sleek aesthetic: hardwood herringbone floors, a roaring fire in a clean-lined hearth, lofted ceilings with pendant lights, and wood-paneled walls. Guest rooms have a modern lodge appeal, wood and plaid throws, a simple desk for the unavoidable work check-in, and an emphasis on eco-awareness, like WinkBed mattresses and natural bath products from EO Essential Oils. (Bonus: Rooms come in a variety of bed configurations that reflect the way people really travel, including setups like queen bunk beds, four twins, one queen, or one twin bunk.) The hotel is part lodging, part social club, and 100 percent focused on catering to a certain type of hard-charging, outdoor enthusiast. There’s a fitness and sport-recovery center and lanes for duckpin bowling, plus a co-working space, coffee shop and restaurant, and even a Japanese-inspired onsen. There’s also a membership option, which gets you breaks on rooms, special excursion and programming, an option to store your gear so you don’t have to travel with it, and special early morning access to certain runs that just might get you first-track bragging rights.
