The Hythe, a Luxury Collection Resort, Vail Debuts New Immersive Summer Program

Nestled in the heart of the majestic Rocky Mountains, The Hythe, a Luxury Collection Resort, Vail has announced a collection of new summer programming that showcases the best of one of Colorado’s beloved mountain towns. The alpine haven harnesses the individual and collective passions of Vail’s founders, Pete Seibert and Earl Eaton, allowing guests to discover shared passions and spark deeper connections to the destination.
