The Élan Collection Unveils First Ski-In/Ski-Out Luxury Mountain Retreat In Vail

May 24, 2010 - PRLog -- SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.—The Élan Collection, a private residence club of luxury vacation shared ownership residences, has announced the unveiling of its first ski-in/ski-out luxury mountain retreat with shared interests priced under $1 million: a 3,500 square-foot penthouse located at the top of The Arrabelle at Vail Square.

Nestled at the base of the Vail ski resort and just footsteps from the Eagle Bahn gondola, The Arrabelle was inspired by the classic grand alpine hotels of Europe. The Arrabelle Penthouse features en suite bathrooms in all four bedrooms, hardwood flooring, Viking appliances, luxurious furnishings and fixtures, as well as views of Vail Square and the best of Vail Mountain. Owner-members of this luxury mountain retreat will have access to all of the amenities offered at The Arrabelle, including valet parking, ski and boot storage, room service, daily housekeeping, a luxury spa and fitness center, world-class dining and the shopping Vail is known for.

“We are proud to offer our first Élan property with shared interests priced below $1 million and with all of the A-list amenities and services that are typical of Élan,” said Stan Tonkin, vice president of international marketing and sales for The Élan Collection. “The Arrabelle speaks to our ability to provide affluent consumers with a variety of high-end properties that offer the value and luxury vacation experience they expect. The Arrabelle is unique for its many value-added amenities, services and second-to-none location in the heart of Vail Square.”

Only 13 shared interest deeded ownership opportunities will be offered in The Arrabelle. Priority sales reservation pricing starts at $900,000 per deeded interest, but only on a limited basis. Ownership interests in The Arrabelle will provide Élan owner-members with the coveted Vail Medallions (fully transferable for year-round recreation at five ski resorts and five golf courses), as well as four weeks of exclusive use per year and Élan’s A-list services and personal touches, such as a dedicated 24-hour concierge staff, travel accommodations, limousine services, included private jet service, luxury vehicle to use when in residence, personal item placement inside the penthouse and much more.

At The Arrabelle, the best of Vail rests right at owner-member’s fingertips. As one of the nation’s top ski destinations, Vail itself offers 5,289 acres of ski terrain for all levels of skiers and snowboarders, and more than 350,000 acres of national park. Visitors can enjoy year-round outdoor recreation, such as cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, tubing, snowmobiling, hiking, biking, kayaking, fly fishing, golfing and more. In Vail Square (where The Arrabelle resides), there are boutiques, art galleries, an outdoor ice rink, fine restaurants and concerts in the town square.

In addition to The Arrabelle, The Élan Collection currently offers a growing portfolio of properties ranging from a 12,000-square-foot beachfront getaway in the Turks and Caicos Islands to a 6,200 square-foot classic Mediterranean estate on 17 Mile Drive in Pebble Beach.
