Vail Valley's hidden center — better food, lower prices, zero pretension

Home Destinations Vail Valley Resorts Edwards

Edwards sits between Eagle and Avon in the central Vail Valley, and it's become the quiet favorite of people who live and work in the area year-round. The Riverwalk at Edwards — a pedestrian shopping and dining village along the Eagle River — has attracted restaurants that rival anything in Vail Village, minus the $40 parking and the crowds. Edwards doesn't have a ski lift or a tourist bureau, which is precisely what makes it appealing. It's 15 minutes from Beaver Creek, 20 from Vail, and considerably cheaper than both for lodging and meals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why stay in Edwards instead of Vail?

Price and dining. A hotel in Edwards costs half of a comparable room in Vail Village, and the Riverwalk restaurants are on par. You're 20 minutes from Vail's slopes.

Is Edwards walkable?

The Riverwalk area is very walkable. The rest of Edwards is more suburban and requires a car or our service.

How do you handle flight delays?

We track every flight in real time. If your flight is delayed, we automatically adjust your pickup time. No extra charge and no rebooking needed.

Where does my driver meet me?

At DEN your chauffeur meets you curbside on Level 5 — Island 2, near door 506 on the west side or door 511 on the east, depending on your baggage claim — and texts you the exact spot. For private FBOs, we meet you on the tarmac or at the terminal.

Can I book a same-day airport transfer?

We ask for two hours' notice for any pickup between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. Anything inside two hours is Rush service for an additional $50, and we only confirm it once a driver is assigned. For a pickup between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., book before 10 p.m., when our dispatch office is staffed. Call us for the fastest confirmation.

Do you provide car seats for children?

Yes, we can accommodate car seat requests. Please mention this when booking so we can have the appropriate seat installed.

Do you serve Red Rocks and special events too?

Yes. Many clients pair airport transfers with Red Rocks concerts, weddings, and special events. We can coordinate round-trip transportation across Denver and the Front Range.

Is it safe to drive into the mountains in winter?

With the right vehicle and a trained chauffeur, yes. Colorado's Traction Law (Code 15) on I-70 requires AWD/4WD or snow-rated tires with adequate tread; Arion vehicles meet or exceed it, carry chains, and our chauffeurs are ice-driving trained and monitor CDOT conditions before and during every mountain run.

What happens if I-70 closes or chain law is in effect?

Dispatch monitors CDOT closures and traction/chain restrictions in real time and will reroute (US-285, US-40, I-70 timing changes) or reschedule your pickup window. We tell you early rather than leaving you guessing at the airport.
