Grand Hyatt Deer Valley
Spacious mountain-view rooms and solid amenities overlooking Jordanelle Reservoir, though not strictly ski-in/ski-out.
The verdict
Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.
Grand Hyatt Deer Valley is a 436-room resort overlooking the Jordanelle Reservoir and Wasatch Mountains. Guests praise the oversized, sleek rooms with Nespresso machines, the heated year-round pool, and casual dining spots like the Double Blacks coffee shop. However, reaching the slopes is less seamless than advertised, requiring a shuttle rather than offering true ski-in, ski-out access, alongside occasional 30-minute backups at the valet. 85144

What travelers noticed
- Guests consistently highlight the generous room sizes, featuring large bathrooms, oversized windows, and ample sitting areas. 8

- Opinions also diverge on room views, where some guests enjoy unobstructed water scenery while others overlook the neighboring Four Seasons construction site. 1012

Bathroom
97Food
90- “On the first night, I ate at their restaurant Remington Hall, where I had onion dip with caviar that put the onion dip in my fridge to shame, a kale salad with pancetta, and a bison filet that blew me away. Do not sleep on the Parker House rolls, which were also amazing.” 8
- “Globalist breakfast is served in their main restaurant - Remington Hall - and was very very good.” 1
Location
89Noise
92- “The quiet, tucked-away setting makes it feel like a mountain escape, yet you're never far from the action.” 6
- “I really liked the modern design aesthetic of the rooms, which utilized lots of blues, greys, whites and gold, with a nod to many of the naturally occurring colors found outside in the winter paradise that awaits right across the street.” 14
Room
94- “There's one very important word I will use to sum up my room at the Grand Hyatt Deer Valley: spacious. This was not a small room. I had a king-size bed, a sitting area, a bathroom large enough that I could have done laps in there, and a closet so big I was able to fit my suitcase on the stand and fully close the doors.” 8
- “The Deer Valley Suites are large and well appointed and worth using a Suite Upgrade to secure.” 12
Service
92- “The service was exceptional - easily one of the standout parts of our stay. From the moment we arrived, it felt like the staff knew us by name and were always a step ahead, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask.” 6
- “The hotel had an incredible concierge named Lisa, who truly went above and beyond to make our stay special. I don't usually rely on hotel concierges, but Lisa was exceptional - so much so that I found myself turning to her more than once.” 6
Bed & Sleep
93Value
89- “Using World of Hyatt points is a great value, especially during ski season. Staying that close to the mountain at a new hotel for just 21,000-29,000 Hyatt points is an excellent opportunity.” 14
- “I've had my eye on it since it opened and I found out it was also a military MWR (Morale, Welfare, & Recreation) hotel with amazing military rates for active duty and retirees.” 1

Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “Breakfast needs work. It's not absolutely terrible, and I'm sure some intrepid blogger will come stay soon and provide pictures of each and every station, but it's fairly basic -- fruit, pastries, bacon/sausage/eggs/potatoes/etc., an omelet station and a few other things.” 10
- “For dinner, return to Remington Hall or check out the restaurant's more casual wing, The Lounge for a burger and beer-both with delicious dishes from Chef Marc Marrone.” 4
- “Remington Hall is the main restaurant, and it quickly became our go-to spot each morning for breakfast. My family and I ate there every day, enjoying the wide selection of delicious foods and drinks.” 6
- “Despite all the activity going on outside, noise was never an issue. There is a nice variety of dining options, meaning you never have to leave the resort for a meal-and you won't tire of the menu (or the views).” 4
- “On the first night, I ate at their restaurant Remington Hall, where I had onion dip with caviar that put the onion dip in my fridge to shame, a kale salad with pancetta, and a bison filet that blew me away. Do not sleep on the Parker House rolls, which were also amazing.” 8
- “Dinner portions (we had the steak) were incredibly small. would not eat here again for dinner.” 3
- “Globalist breakfast is served in their main restaurant - Remington Hall - and was very very good.” 1
- “The restaurant itself was absolutely stunning. We loved sitting in the back room, where the floor-to-ceiling windows offered breathtaking views of the mountains and lake. The scenery was so beautiful that it almost made the meal feel like an added bonus.” 6
- “Right outside Remington Hall, in the hotel lobby, you can experience "high chocolate," which is the hotel's take on high tea. Not only do you get delicious hot chocolate, but multiple tiers of little desserts like macarons, cookies, tarts, and cupcakes.” 8
- “Remington restaurant - great brunch (free for Amex Fine hotels which is a plus). this was probably the favorite part of the experience.” 3
- “Grand Hyatt Deer Valley has so many on-site dining options, which was amazing for when I came back from a long day of schlepping and didn't want to go back out for dinner.” 8
- “Double Blacks was my first stop every single morning, and truly, more hotels need a coffee shop like this on-site. Get yourself a latte and a bacon quiche and you'll be set for the day.” 8
- “Fuel up for a day on the slopes at the main restaurant, Remington Hall, which serves a yummy breakfast buffet ($36 per adult and $18 per child) as well as additional a la carte options.” 4
- “The Globalist breakfast is excellent.” 12
- “Right now they're still digging the holes to pour the foundations. That means for the next two years they only place you're going to be eating is in the hotel restaurants (which are good, but still).” 10
- “While the in-room coffee isn't bad, it's definitely a step down from the freshly brewed lattes from Double Blacks.” 6
- “Furthermore, room service arrived quickly, making it a reliable option when we just wanted a convenient meal without leaving the hotel and the comfort of our guest room.” 6
- “There were mornings when coffee (and even coffee mugs) ran out in the restaurant, where one server was trying to take care of most of the tables to the point where it was hard to even pay and you needed to pour your own drinks.” 14
- “The bathroom was a decent size and included a countertop with 1 sink and a bathtub.” 6
- “The standalone shower is roomy with both a rain shower head and a handheld wand.” 12
- “The water pressure was on the lower side.” 12
- “The bathroom featured a tub-shower combination with both a handheld and fixed showerhead. However, the water pressure was disappointingly weak - one of the weakest I've encountered during a hotel stay, which was surprising for a brand-new hotel of this caliber.” 6
- “The bathroom is a slightly strange set up as in addition to a dual vanity and toilet cubical, there is also a traditional bathtub/shower combo and standalone shower.” 12
- “The 436-room Grand Hyatt Deer Valley enjoys a prime location in the heart of the ski village at Deer Valley Resort.” 6
- “In the meantime, there's currently not much located in this area. You're looking at a decent drive around the mountains if you want to get to the main base or to most other restaurants or activities, as the hotel is currently relatively isolated on its own.” 14
- “Location: - Not ski-in, ski-out (you have to take an open air trailer/shuttle to get to the gondola. you could walk through a construction site but nobody does this.” 3
- “Being located along a busy highway (and currently a construction zone) doesn't exactly scream tranquillity.” 12
- “And the fact that you can arrive at the property after only a 40-minute drive from the airport (without a single traffic light) only adds to how great the location is.” 2
- “I'd love to go back in the winter to take advantage of it's slope-side location.” 1
- “our suitcases and bags all fit in the closet with plenty of room to spare.” 1
- “The suite featured a separate bedroom with 2 plush double beds. Given that the beds were doubles, they were not ideal for 2 adults - 1 adult and 1 child would likely have slept more comfortably.” 6
- “In addition to the sofa bed in the living room, we also requested a crib and a rollaway bed (not pictured), giving my family more sleeping configurations. Note: I tried all 3 myself (except the crib, of course), and none were particularly comfortable, which disappointed me.” 6
- “While the aesthetics of the hotel may not have spoken to me, the designers did a phenomenal job laying out what skiers need in a hotel room.” 2
- “ad with the room was the lack of black out curtains. There is no way to prevent a ton of light leakage coming into the room.” 12
- “The room had blackout curtains, which were a nice touch and perfect for light sleepers like me.” 6
- “There's one very important word I will use to sum up my room at the Grand Hyatt Deer Valley: spacious. This was not a small room. I had a king-size bed, a sitting area, a bathroom large enough that I could have done laps in there, and a closet so big I was able to fit my suitcase on the stand and fully close the doors.” 8
- “Another amenity at the hotel I really enjoyed was the Peloton and Headspace classes that came preprogrammed on the TV in my room. Because Hyatt has partnerships with both, I was able to try classes without having to be a member of either brand.” 8
- “The balcony feels more like a patio, though on this side of the building it is a couple of floors up from the ground. Despite the seeing and hearing the highway, it is a nice view.” 12
- “The suite's layout offered both privacy and communal space, making it ideal for families traveling with children.” 6
- “The bedroom included a large walk-in closet, spacious enough to store luggage and clothing. We had 5 pieces of luggage, and the closet easily accommodated them all.” 6
- “The living room has very high ceilings, I think a benefit of being on the ground floor. My guess is that most of the other suites do not have these high ceilings.” 12
- “I far prefer a Nespresso machine to a Keurig, so I was pleased to see this in our room.” 1
- “The bathroom was very large and the closet was enormous by hotel room standards.” 1
- “The bathroom was very large and the closet was enormous by hotel room standards. I can certainly understand the value of the huge closet when traveling with a lot of winter gear and not wanting to have it strewn all over the room. I appreciated that” 1
- “The 1-bedroom suite with 2 double beds was spacious enough for my family and me.” 6
- “Directly next to the fireplace was a small kitchenette, outfitted with a microwave, wine fridge, sink, and Nespresso set up. The wine fridge door was wonky and required a kick to properly close.” 12
- “Another minor inconvenience was that the extra towels were in a closet at the entrance of the room. This meant that whenever someone needed a towel, one of us had to go fetch it, as the bathroom itself had no storage space.” 6
- “After coming from the 2 Queen Room with a pullout sofa at the Hyatt Regency in Salt Lake City, our room felt quite cramped. That being said, it had plenty of room for myself and my daughters to be comfortable.” 1
- “The Deer Valley Suites are large and well appointed and worth using a Suite Upgrade to secure.” 12
- “What really made the experience special were the floor-to-ceiling windows that wrapped around the room, offering sweeping 180-degree views of the surrounding mountains.” 6
- “I am taking two points off because of some lewd behavior by two guests at the pool that went on for several hours and was never addressed by any staff members.” 1
- “The valet drivers were so helpful and patient as we packed up our things from the car and put the the top back on our rented Jeep.” 1
- “The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.” 4
- “For skiers, the highlight of this hotel is the proximity to the newly opened terrain, the incredible ski locker room, and the dedicated ski staff.” 2
- “If you're looking for a resort that will allow you to ski and see a bunch of movies at the Sundance Film Festival at the same time, the Grand Hyatt Deer Valley is the place for you. Not only is it convenient, but the customer service is on point.” 8
- “Before I even entered the front door, I was greeted by a literal fleet of staff when I pulled up to the resort. Someone opened my car door for me and another helped me with my bags. "Do you need a bellman? Do you have skis? Can we carry them for you?" I could tell I was in for a very luxe experience, and that suspicion was only confirmed when I walked into the lobby.” 8
- “It has a few snacks, soda, and a big sitting area to relax. It also has its own concierge, Hallie. She was super nice and friendly and gave me some very helpful information for military discounts at the hotel and in the Park City area.” 1
- “I found the staff friendly, attentive, and clearly well-trained, especially considering the hotel had only been open for a few months.” 6
- “Check-in was smooth and welcoming, with service that matched the polished feel of the newly opened resort.” 6
- “The hotel does offer a shuttle, but the service is infrequent, making a rental car or rideshare a near necessity for guests who want to explore beyond the property.” 2
- “front desk team confirmed my suite upgrade without any prompting, which I always appreciate.” 6
- “While the staff was always eager to assist, there were moments where service felt inconsistent or not quite polished. There were moments where our table hadn't been assigned a server, so we waited for 30 minutes for someone to come by, or when they struggled to find our car at the valet because they entered a number incorrectly.” 2
- “It's not technically a 'ski-in, ski-out' hotel and does have some service kinks to iron out, but there's a lot of potential for it to become a great place for skiers to stay using World of Hyatt points.” 14
- “I had a chicken pesto sandwich which was excellent. There was an issue with the bill, but when I pointed it out, the staff took care of it and the manager even came over and let me know she would be comping part of my meal for the inconvenience.” 12
- “I stopped by daily for a latte, and the barista was always friendly, greeting me with a smile. She mentioned that I seemed to be the only guest there each morning, which made me feel like a regular from Day 1.” 6
- “As is common with new hotels, the service is still somewhat spotty and, at times, the staff appeared overwhelmed.” 14
- “The service was exceptional - easily one of the standout parts of our stay. From the moment we arrived, it felt like the staff knew us by name and were always a step ahead, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask.” 6
- “A few other lobby touches I was impressed by: a live pianist playing when I checked in, and hot cider and fruit-infused water available right by the check-in desk.” 8
- “While the views, ski concierge, and modern rooms deliver on luxury, the lack of a fully developed village, corporate atmosphere, and occasional service missteps make the price difficult to justify.” 2
- “The valet was so backed up that it took more than 30 minutes to get the car to drive to ski school (self-parking wasn't an option).” 14
- “Service was tops -- when I arrived no less than six people offered to help me with my luggage.” 10
- “The hotel had an incredible concierge named Lisa, who truly went above and beyond to make our stay special. I don't usually rely on hotel concierges, but Lisa was exceptional - so much so that I found myself turning to her more than once.” 6
- “The hotel makes exploring downtown Park City easy with its complimentary shuttle service to Main Street. The shuttle runs every hour - or on demand, depending on availability - making it a convenient way to enjoy the heart of Park City without worrying about parking.” 6
- “From the cozy amenities and personalized service to the game room and après-ski treats, it felt like a perfect home base for both adventure and relaxation.” 6
- “Not only is it convenient, but the customer service is on point. For example, there were two days in a row that I had my "do not disturb" sign on when housekeeping came around, and the hotel texted me to ask me when they could come back.” 8
- “The hotel is still working out some service kinks and offerings, but the staff we met were largely very friendly and doing all they could to help us have a great ski trip.” 14
- “The front desk staff was efficient and businesslike. He let me know the details about the breakfast as a Globalist.” 12
- “This club lounge has excellent potential and, at times, had fantastic appetizers on offer and had a friendly staff, but it was inconsistently, and sometimes inadequately, stocked for the volume of people at the hotel.” 14
- “The team at Ski Butlers was incredibly well-organized and seemingly always there for families coming back from the mountain that needed an extra set of hands.” 2
- “The service is good, including evening turn down service.” 12
- “The quiet, tucked-away setting makes it feel like a mountain escape, yet you're never far from the action.” 6
- “I really liked the modern design aesthetic of the rooms, which utilized lots of blues, greys, whites and gold, with a nod to many of the naturally occurring colors found outside in the winter paradise that awaits right across the street.” 14
- “Despite all the activity going on outside, noise was never an issue.” 4
- “Using World of Hyatt points is a great value, especially during ski season. Staying that close to the mountain at a new hotel for just 21,000-29,000 Hyatt points is an excellent opportunity.” 14
- “Additionally, the pet fee you pay benefits a local animal rescue, which is a nice touch.” 6
- “Up until this point, the only major slopeside hotel at Deer Valley was the St. Regis (most of the ski-in-ski-out accommodations here are vacation rentals), and the Grand Hyatt offers a much more accessible price point.” 4
- “The cost for this experience was roughly $150, which included all the snacks and beverages - definitely a splurge but worth every penny for the whole family.” 6
- “I've had my eye on it since it opened and I found out it was also a military MWR (Morale, Welfare, & Recreation) hotel with amazing military rates for active duty and retirees.” 1
- “Still, I redeemed World of Hyatt points at 29,000 points per night, making it a solid value for a brand-new, luxury resort in such a sought-after location.” 6
- “Being located along a busy highway (and currently a construction zone) doesn't exactly scream tranquillity. You also need to plan on paying an extra $96 per night on the resort fee and parking unless you book with points as a Globalist.” 12
- “Surprisingly, cash rates were quite reasonable during our dates for a luxury ski destination, likely because of the late-season timing and the fact that Easter Sunday marked the final day of skiing at Park City Mountain Resort.” 6
- “You also need to plan on paying an extra $96 per night on the resort fee and parking unless you book with points as a Globalist. There also isn't much around the hotel currently; though that will change when the village area is complete in 2028.” 12
- “Rooms are nicely appointed and thoughtfully designed with spacious closets, some with fireplaces and terraces that overlook the reservoir or mountain.” 7
- “The hotel overlooks the Jordanelle Reservoir which is beautiful and home to plenty water sporting activities.” 1
- “Unfortunately the property is essentially built on Highway 189. So if you either have a view of the Four Seasons or a view of the lake and the highway.” 12
- “The bed is very comfortable and has a true duvet cover rather than just a flat sheet sandwich.” 12
- “The king bed was comfortable, but if I'm being extremely picky - the sheets could have been softer.” 1
- “The pullout twin bed was incredibly easy to open and was quite comfortable for sleeping, according to my oldest daughter.” 1
