Vail Village Colorado Free Hotel Parking

When does Hotel free parking end in VAIL VILLAGE or LIONSHEAD (What are the dates free parking is available at the hotels. We will be arriving and staying September 5 through 7 where can I find free parking?

In Vail Village and Lionshead, hotel free parking policies are highly seasonal. Most hotels offer complimentary parking only during the off-season periods, generally late spring through early December, after the ski season ends and before the summer/early fall tourist peaks. By early September, many hotels have already transitioned to paid parking policies, though some may still offer limited free parking depending on occupancy and promotions.

For your dates, September 5–7, free parking directly at hotels is less common but may still be available at certain properties that are promoting fall stays or during shoulder season promotions. Always check directly with your hotel before arrival.

Alternative options for free or low-cost parking in Vail Village and Lionshead:

  • Some hotels in Lionshead may offer free parking for guests during non-peak periods; inquire specifically at the time of booking.
  • Street parking in Vail is limited but sometimes available with time restrictions; pay attention to signage to avoid fines.
  • Vail’s public parking structures (Village or Lionshead) are typically paid but may have a short-term free period or evening/weekend rates in the off-season.

If your priority is free parking, your best bet is to contact the specific hotel directly and confirm whether your September stay qualifies for complimentary parking. Another option is to look for nearby lodging slightly outside the main village areas that provide free parking and shuttle service into the village.
