Gemini Resorts
In 2002, the principals of Gemini assumed the flagging redevelopment of the Vail Mountain Lodge & Spa and integrated a challenging condominium development scenario within a re-positioning and re-development of the existing hotel. Through insightful guidance, they defined a “healthy-chic” theme, which encompassed the renowned Terra Bistro restaurant concept, and defined the Spa’s remodel. Through an innovative whole and fractional ownership program, the Lodge grossed $33 million in real estate sales through sell-out in 2005. In 2008, this property was one of only two Vail hotels on the Conde Nast Traveler’s International Gold List, and one of only two properties state-wide to be nominated for the Conde Nast Johansen’s “Most Excellent Lodge” award. Recently, the Vail Mountain Lodge & Spa was designated one of the top 50 North American Ski Hotels by Conde Nast Traveler.
