Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “For a large mountain resort, the dining is strong: Apex - Elevated mountain American. Hearty but refined. Yama Sushi - Genuinely impressive.” 1
- “The restaurant options at the hotel are limited. You can get muffins and the like at the gourmet-to-go café off the lobby or make a reservation at Apex, the restaurant at the hotel.” 6
- “For a mountain resort, Montage delivers an impressive culinary range. Each restaurant feels intentional, not an afterthought.” 2
- “Burgers and Bourbon - Another great spot at the Montage that had great food with an upscale, casual vibe.” 4
- “so Yama Sushi which is another great dinner option where adults can dine guilt free knowing their children are having an uber-child experience at Paintbox.” 13
- “For a large mountain resort, the dining is strong: Apex - Elevated mountain American. Hearty but refined. Yama Sushi - Genuinely impressive. The chef is trained in Japan, and fish is flown in daily.” 1
- “The food was a high point. The signature restaurant Apex has a great breakfast selection. The Huevos Rancheros was some of the best we have ever had.” 11
- “Daly's Pub and Rec is the ideal location for a family meal, offering four regulation bowling lanes, billiards, darts, old-school arcade games and a Playstation to make it easy to entertain kids while waiting for food to arrive.” 8
- “Daly's Pub - The apres ski or casual restaurant at the Montage that we all loved. Enjoy wood-fired pizzas, a game room for the kids and a bowling alley.” 4
- “Daly's Pub was the perfect spot for a quick dinner with the kids with lots of diversion to keep them happy for hours.” 6
- “We enjoyed a few meals here working our way through the cuts of beef, bison and elk. There's also Burgers and Bourbon which for a more casual restaurant had really quite fantastic burgers of many varieties.” 11
- “On another morning, we couldn't resist the breakfast buffet at Apex where we had made-to-order omelettes, muesli, baked treats, and fruit and which eliminated the need to have lunch!” 13
- “The luxurious resort's Five-Star restaurant, Apex, serves delicious meals three times a day, but dinner is the real winner - order the Long Island duck duo with creamed heirloom spinach or roasted winter squash, grilled Kaui white shrimp and bearnaise sauce or local wagyu hander steak with yukon gold whipped potato puree for a farm-to-table taste sensation.” 8
- “Alpen Globes at Apex - Part of the Apex restaurant listed above and it does come at an additional cost, but I loved the experience.” 4
- “Apex - Montage's signature restaurant, served up delicious mountain-inspired cuisine and great service.” 4
- “All dining menus had kids menus and the kids meals for lunch and dinner were a solid value.” 14
- “For lighter breakfast fare, the resort's coffee shop and patisserie, Buzz, has yummy muffins and yogurt parfaits.” 14
- “Buzz - The on-site espresso bar and café, offering excellent coffee, pastries, and grab-and-go snacks for early risers or hikers.” 2
- “On one morning before skiing, we stopped for breakfast at Buzz where you can have something quick to eat before heading to Compass Sports. We enjoyed the yogurt parfait and our children loved the fruit smoothies, which consisted of just fruit, yogurt and had no added sugar.” 13
- “All of our in-room dining meals were quality and well-prepared, though there was some inconsistency with the service and having all items show up that were ordered.” 14
- “Dining was consistently remarkable” 14
- “At breakfast and lunch, Tudor took care of us with the professionalism and familiarity as if we were long-time, repeat guests.” 14
- “Poolside dining was solid (same food as Burgers & Bourbon), though the pool attendant was gone for long periods of time so this made dining with kids a little longer than desired.” 14
- “All dining menus had kids menus and the kids meals for lunch and dinner were a solid value. Our dinner at Apex was a highlight - our food was delicious and our server, Lauren, was wonderful and especially attentive to our girls.” 14
- “The best value, in our opinion, was the $11-14 kids lunch and dinner options, which included a generously-portioned meal, a side, a drink, and a dessert.” 14
- “First is Buzz, which is a quick grab n' go type coffee shop. They have delicious pastries, loads of Sugarfina brand candies and amazing espresso drinks to fuel you up for the slopes.” 7
- “Some healthy menu options were available in the dining venues, but overall the fare was on the heavier side (burgers, steaks, pizza, etc.).” 14
- “Apex, the resort's signature restaurant, served up delicious mountain-inspired cuisine with impeccable service.” 4
- “We tried most of the resort's open dining venues during our stay and were impressed with the dining overall at Apex and Burgers and Bourbon (Yama Sushi, Vista Lounge, and SlopeStream had not yet opened for the summer season).” 14
- “Apex, is the Montage's signature restaurant. The décor and furnishings are relaxed but the food is definitely upscale. We ate there with our children and Apex offers a good selection of high quality childrens' options rather than the typical chicken fingers and fries offered at many restaurants.” 13
- “In the main restaurants, Tudor, Jordan, Lauren, and Spencer went above and beyond to take care of our family, remembering our previous favorite items.” 14
- “River Horse on Main - This was my favorite meal and I loved the ambiance of this spot.” 4
- “The final spot is Daly's, and I assure you this is where your kiddos will head. It's laid back, pub style food with a great selection of local draft beers, burgers, and nachos.” 7
- “I mentioned Daly's Pub with game options enabling some peaceful adult time while children play; another family dining option is Burgers and Bourbon, serving upscale comfort food. My family typically does not eat at the same restaurant in the same month, but after eating the Wagyu Nachos, we all became obsessed and ate there on consecutive nights.” 13
- “Starting at check in, my kids were pleasantly surprised to select a wildlife animal from behind the counter.” 7
- “But the warm reception won us over - children are immediately brought to a sled of stuffed animals and choose one as a gift (a smart move by the hotel).” 6
- “For a more casual vibe, we loved Daly's Pub & Rec, where we enjoyed wood-fired pizzas and a few friendly rounds of bowling.” 4
- “Attentive staff provide assistance and small smiles to guests every step along the way in Park City, Utah.” 7

- “While the suite accommodations were luxurious and service otherwise exceptional at the Montage, we would choose the Stein Eriksen, St Regis or the Waldorf -Astoria next time.” 6
- “The twice daily service and constant supply of water and goodies were delivered seamlessly.” 11
- “The Montage offers a grand entrance and refined mountain lodge culture. A hallmark of the resort is the highly personalized service, which makes you feel at home from the time you step on property.” 10
- “Apex, the resort's signature restaurant, served up delicious mountain-inspired cuisine with impeccable service.” 4
- “Emily and Yesenia from the Concierge team were also a huge help with all of our planning questions and activities.” 14
- “Apex - Montage's signature restaurant, served up delicious mountain-inspired cuisine and great service.” 4
- “Service throughout our stay was superb from every team member we encountered.” 14
- “While there were many customer service managers doing everything they could to make everyone happy (the service at the hotel otherwise is stellar), they couldn't get this right.” 6
- “Dare I say the bed was TOO comfortable for me? The housekeeping staff was kind enough to remove the plush featherbed to cater to my firmer mattress taste; resulting in a much deeper sleep on night two.” 5
- “Service throughout was warm and consistent.” 1
- “The very capable concierge can arrange other activities which are available such as a horse-drawn sleigh ride and bobsledding if you can pry yourself away from the hotel and the ski slopes.” 13
- “Nevertheless, the staff did a decent job explaining under the tough circumstances management has dealt them, and otherwise were very helpful throughout our stay.” 11
- “As a last note the concierges and the staff at the in-house mountain outfitter were both quite helpful with our needs. They are very knowledgeable about the activities, including around the suitability of this or that for kids of certain ages.” 11
- “Overall, the service was eager to please and very accommodating.” 6
- “Despite its somewhat remote location, the resort offers an abundance of family-friendly diversions adapted to the seasons and the service experience here is top-notch.” 14
- “Understaffed, with incredibly slow service as a result.” 12
- “My biggest disappointment at the Montage (and judging from the comments of most of the guests staying there that weekend, theirs too) was the shuttle service. The one 8-person van running on a 45-minute basis when you have a packed hotel with children just doesn't cut it.” 6
- “Not open year round. We dined at several venues during our stay and were consistently impressed by the service, which was attentive yet relaxed. Montage has mastered that blend of genuine warmth and quiet professionalism that makes you feel both cared for and at ease.” 2
- “At $32 a glass of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label, it's not budget-friendly, but the chic yurt atmosphere is certainly memorable. ” 10
- “Exceptionally warm and attentive service experience throughout our stay” 14
- “The closets are also large and accommodating to all those ski clothes and equipment that just take up too much space.” 7
- “This was apparent at the time of check-in when we were warmly-welcomed by a hotel greeter at the hotel entrance and were whisked to our room (after our daughters were offered choice of stuffed animals,) without ever actually waiting at a reception desk.” 13
- “Compass Sports, Montage's own rental facility is so state of the art and well staffed you'll never lift a ski or snap on a boot on your own; it's like having your own personal ski concierge...topped off with freshly baked cookies and hot chocolate when you check back in.” 5
- “The service experience and thoughtful touches at Montage Deer Valley delivered wow at every turn.” 14
- “From the very moment you arrive, you are greeted by a warm and attentive staff dedicated to making your stay nothing short of extraordinary.” 9
- “But the 2 bedroom vista residence was very comfortable for our family. It is truly a residence with a very large living room, kitchen, lots of storage, three expansive outdoor decks, a laundry room and so forth.” 11
- “At the front desk, the children are brought over to choose a new stuffed animal and learn all about the Merits. Our room-a beautifully appointed suite-featured rustic yet elegant décor, a cozy fireplace, and a private balcony overlooking the snow-covered peaks.” 4
- “As you step into the grand lobby, you will be immediately captivated by the elegant decor, where rich wood accents and plush furnishings perfectly complement the breathtaking, sweeping mountain views visible through every window.” On camera90:37
- “In the suite, there is ample space for a family of four (even five if we had brought the baby!) to spread out between the bedroom, sitting area, 2 bathrooms and a patio.” 7
- “The floorplan of the suite we booked included a half bath, which the renovated room did not have - however, upon bringing this to the hotel's attention, we were offered a connecting Superior King Room at no additional charge for the entirety of our stay, which was an incredibly generous gesture.” 14
- “Our 1-bedroom suite was spacious and very comfortable with two full baths and fireplaces, a couch-bed made up for the kids and slippers and robes for everyone (Note: ask in advance for childrens slippers and robes).” 6
- “Many of the private residences have already undergone a makeover and they are absolutely stunning. I toured a renovated two-bedroom residence during my stay, and it felt like a completely different tier of product.” 1
- “I love the thoughtfulness behind the layout of At Daly's Pub where you can enjoy upscale pub food while kids play foosball, darts or various video arcade games in the adjacent game room.” 13
- “The room itself felt like a luxurious mountain hideaway; cozy yet spacious, with a gas fireplace, marble bathroom, and panoramic views of the Wasatch range.” 2
- “I would describe Montage's interior as comfortable luxury, reflecting the hotel's California roots. Our Standard Room with two double beds had very comfortable furnishings as well as a balcony overlooking the mountains.” 13
- “Every room offers picturesque mountain or valley views.” 8
- “The size of the suite was the largest surprise to me, you could comfortably stay for an ample period of time when the layout feels similar to a residence. The hallway, fireplace, soaking tub, and patio had me move in ready.” 10
- “The room configuration and amenities are well thought out; ours included a small balcony, walk-in closet, nice-sized gas fireplace with multiple controls, including one that we could reach lying in bed before going to sleep, small refrigerator and other bells and whistles that you would expect in a hotel of this caliber.” 13
- “One of the most important elements of a hotel room after a full day of skiing is wonderful beds. The soft sheets and wonderful mattresses at the Montage fit the bill.” 13
- “While the suite accommodations were luxurious and service otherwise exceptional at the Montage, we would choose the Stein Eriksen, St Regis or the Waldorf -Astoria next time.” 6
- “The bathrooms and particularly the master bath with steam shower and sunken tub were ample, clean and well stocked with all the necessary amenities.” 11
- “The five-fixture, marble-and-travertine bathrooms include a glass-enclosed shower (with rain showerhead), soaking tub, double vanity, separate commode and heated floors - perfect for warming up feet after hours inside snow boots or for relaxing after a day of shopping on Main Street.” 8
- “The soft sheets and wonderful mattresses at the Montage fit the bill. We also loved our large, marble bathroom that was able to accommodate all four of us at times getting ready for dinner.” 13
- “The Montage is approximately a 10-15 minute drive to Main Street in Park City, which is worth a drive for shopping or dinner. What we found even more appealing is the easy 40-minute drive from the Salt Lake Airport!” 13
- “We booked airport transfers through the hotel - and Snow Country Limousine was excellent - but we would rent a car next time.” 14
- “The ski-in ski-out Montage is located mid-mountain, near the top of Deer Valley resort with amazing near and distant mountain views.” 13
- “One of the biggest perks of staying at the Montage Deer Valley is its prime ski-in, ski-out location.” 4
- “Montage Deer Valley remains one of the most established and iconic resorts in Park City, and for good reason. Its location, service, and sense of place are unmatched.” 2
- “Camp Compass / Paintbox, the resort's kids club, has great programming with field trips and high-quality activities, but comes with a considerable fee ($195 per morning or afternoon session per child, including lunch) and was less flexible than many of the kids clubs at other hotels we've visited” 14
- “You can get muffins and the like at the gourmet-to-go café off the lobby or make a reservation at Apex, the restaurant at the hotel. We opted to eat in our room each morning - an expensive but tasty and quick option.” 6
- “Expensive but worth the unmatched service, amenities and experiences.” 5
- “nnecessary stress. We were always trying to rush to make the shuttle which either didn't have space for us or we had a long wait for - in my mind, not worth the rates we paid.” 6
- “Park City and Deer Valley are expensive destinations overall, and this resort is no exception.” 14
