A proposed redesign of Vail Village’s Red Lion building does contain a restaurant, but that establishment won’t be the Red Lion, say the current owners.
The plan currently making its way through Vail’s design and review board proposes to retool the restaurant space in a way that will contain less than half of the current establishment’s total square footage, and reorient it so the restaurant patio no longer faces Bridge Street, but Hanson Ranch Road instead. High-end retail space is then expected to occupy the Bridge Street-facing part of the building that the restaurant is now in, according to the plan.
