One Ski Hill Place is one of the newer resorts in Breckenridge. The property’s astonishing location, beautifully appointed rooms, top-notch service and family-friendly amenities make it an excellent choice for visitors to the popular Colorado ski town. While rates at One Ski Hill Place aren’t for the budget-minded, the place is perfect for families seeking a luxurious Rocky Mountain experience.

A hotel set smack in the middle of a world-famous ski resort probably doesn’t need to offer an array of onsite family-friendly activities. After all, there’s plenty to do just steps from the lobby, from skiing and snowboarding in the winter to mountain biking, hiking and horseback riding in the summer. But One Ski Hill Place offers an extraordinary selection of things to keep families entertained (without setting foot outside). Teens can play Wii video games on a 60-inch flat-screen TV in a mini-movie theater. Tots can splash around in a perfectly designed kids’ pool. ‘Tweens can spend hours knocking down pins and munching on pizza in a private bowling alley. Mom and dad will love relaxing in the resort’s spa, sauna and steam room.

Another great perk is One Ski Hill’s fabulous location. If your kids are spending the day in ski school, you can relax in the hot tub with a hot drink and watch them learn, while admiring fantastic views of the slopes. Need an extra scarf or some sunscreen? Since you’re staying, literally, on the mountain, trekking back to your room will take mere minutes.

Rooms are One Ski Hill Place are luxurious. Rooms are modern, but certain charming touches give the place a rustic ambiance. Stone fireplaces and hardwood floors mix with flat-screen televisions, high-end kitchen appliances, espresso machines and even wine cellars. The best part? The views. All rooms have balconies and wide windows, most of which offer spectacular views of the surrounding mountain.

Rooms range from studios to four-bedroom apartments with up to four bathrooms. Full kitchens, dishwashers and laundry machines are included in every room. There's daily cleaning service, as well as complimentary Wi-Fi.

Skiing
Families who love to hit the slopes won't find a hotel closer to the lifts than One Ski Hill Place. In terms of convenience and ease, this resort is tops. Ski lessons for kids and adults form in front of One Ski Hill. Four lifts are, literally, a stone's throw away, across from the lobby. One Ski Hill's location will prove priceless when parents need to run back to the room to grab some snacks or if one of the kids decides he or she is no longer in the mood to hit the slopes and wants to retire. There's no need to pack up your things and take a gondola and then a shuttle to get back to home base. In addition, you'll find a private locker room on the resort's ground floor that's perfect for storing skis and boots -- and it has boot heaters!

Pools
There are two pools at One Ski Hill Place. Located in the resort's Aquatics Center are a kids' pool with a gradually sloped entry and an adults' soaking pool. There are also indoor and outdoor hot tubs (the latter provides amazing views of skiers flying down the slopes).

Bowling Alley
The only bowling alley in Breckenridge is located at One Ski Hill Place -- and it's exclusively open to guests of the resort and guests staying at select sister resorts. You'll need a reservation to bowl. There are only two lanes, and the attraction, which is set in a cool mineshaft-themed room, is quite popular. Bowlers can order food and drinks from resort wait staff. We recommend making a reservation as early as possible -- perhaps even when you book your initial reservation at the resort.

Peak 8 Fun Park
During warmer months, when the snow has melted and the birds are singing, there is plenty to do on the mountain in the resort's beautiful backyard. The Peak 8 Fun Park, which opens just steps from One Ski Hill Place when the ski season ends, features tons of outdoor kid-friendly attractions, from a mini-golf course to an alpine coaster (also open during winter) to a mountain bike park.

One Ski Hill Resort's elegant mini-theaters feature cozy couches with little tables attached to each couch, making it a cinch to snack, surround sound, video game systems and 60-inch HD televisions. Reserve a night in the theater, choose a DVD from the resort's impressive selection, sit back, relax and enjoy.
