Reviewers consistently praise the on-site ski butler service and the year-round heated outdoor pool with mountain views. However, older rooms in the Inn building are showing their age, and traveling into downtown Park City can be inconvenient without a personal car. 23181119

  • The mid-mountain location gives you easy access to the whole mountain right at Silver Lake Lodge. It's the ideal location - you're not over by St. Regis where is a zoo with ski school and lots of beginners and you're not over by Empire / Montage where it's the much harder side of the mountain 3
  • This mid-mountain property offers a choice of hotel rooms, studios and multi-bedroom condominiums. The Chateaux enjoys a perfect location for the avid skier at the Deer Valley slopes. 1

  • The first benefit of this mid-mountain lodge is obvious-you get to skip the early-morning traffic out of the main base, and you also don't need to deal with getting back down there at the end of the day, which can be a huge pain. 12
  • No, the resort does not offer direct ski-in / ski-out access, but it's about as close as you can get positioned just across the street, making it an excellent choice for ski-focused stays. 18

  • the residences are nice but vary for sure. this was the Studio Suite 3
  • For the ultimate romantic escape, their Sky Suite offers spectacular views of the valley. 2
  • We were very impressed by Pendry Park City, Park City's newest luxury hotel resort. With a great layout and space with 153 units particularly suited to large groups and multi-room units. 2
  • you think it's just going to be a little tiny closet but no they know this is a ski hotel and it's this huge walk-in closet definitely the biggest closet I've ever had at a hotel before On camera146:14
  • Reading this in a room in the Inn building right now! Rooms are due for an update. 3
  • The 1-bedroom we checked out was incredibly well-finished, with even the little details feeling well-thought-out and modern. You get slit-opening curtains from the master bathroom into the bedroom, a hidden wine fridge and cabinet, and a pretty incredible view of the mountain. 12
  • The 1-bedroom we checked out was incredibly well-finished, with even the little details feeling well-thought-out and modern. 12
  • No one unit has the exact same upholsteries, but no matter which one you stay in, they're all comparably high-end. There's no lack of space either-you can probably host a party of 20 in here if you want, and this isn't even close to the biggest suite you can reserve. 12
  • Despite the high-end clientele and the countless amenities, you might be surprised (like I was) to learn that you can actually find a hotel room in Deer Valley, right in the middle of all the action, for under $200 a night. 9
  • we have these dimmable lights next to the bed and little reading lights which are super fun On camera146:47

  • Even getting into the hotel is an experience-valet parking is standard, and you'll never even touch the doors to get into the lobby, because there's always a bellman there to open them for you. 12
  • The strongest part of the hotel is the modern rooms in the Goldener building They are super light, well appointed, spacious, airy and very comfortable. A bunch of them also have nice views 3
  • I was kind of surprised at first that the pool wasn't facing the slopes it was actually facing the reservoir but truly the views here are so pretty from every angle On camera1410:16
  • Deer Valley elevated both our experience and our expectations with superior service, maintained from start to finish. 17
  • The Chateaux Deer Valley ticks off all our chilly weather holiday boxes, from the cozy, well-appointed rooms-oriental rugs, oversized, pine-knotted doors, and moody oil paintings abound-to the conveniently regular shuttle service to downtown Park City. 19
  • The residences building was opened in 2020 and the hotel flawlessly combines a modern European feel with luxurious alpine chalet decor and first-class amenities with incredibly attentive staff. 2
  • Talk about top-notch service: a former Buckingham Palace steward runs the butler program at this 181-room hotel overlooking Deer Hollow run. 11
  • In the heart of Deer Valley at Silver Lake Village, this condominium-hotel managed by Stein Eriksen Lodge offers nearly the same traditional European elan as its similarly priced neighbor, Goldener Hirsch Inn, even if it lacks the intimacy and level of personalized service found across the street. 5
  • Once we arrived, the Lodges at Deer Valley offers guests a complimentary luxury SUV service with an on-demand app that's like a cheat code for car-free vacations. 17
  • Absolutely LOVE this property, mostly because of its tiny boutique vibe and the amazing service. The staff to guest ratio is insane. 3
  • Along with the delicious dining, past visitors gave many compliments to the staff for being welcoming and helpful. 1
  • The app more than just a convenience. It's like having a concierge in your pocket. 17
  • Stayed a little over a year ago during winter as non-skiers, and experienced some of the best service to-date (we asked for 3 things super late at night that we didn't expect they'd have... they all came in under 5 minutes). 3
  • Because of its mountainside location, The Chateaux Deer Valley is removed from Park City's lively Main Street. Luckily, the hotel's complimentary shuttle service makes it easy to get there in less than 10 minutes. 16
  • To get around, the Lodges offer a free transportation service for guests, courtesy of Cadillac. If you didn't rent a car for your Park City trip, you don't have to worry. The front desk staff will take you wherever you need to go within Park City, which is super convenient if you don't want to wait for an Uber or a Lyft to get there. 9
  • And while the service is just as nice as one would expect from a five-star hotel, the most impressive part about the interior is the commodious wine vault. 12
  • And, lots of Park City hotels (like the Lodges) will provide a complimentary shuttle service for guests. 9
  • A professional, 24-hour front-desk staff creates a warm and welcoming ambience. 11
  • The Chateaux Deer Valley ticks off all our chilly weather holiday boxes, from the cozy, well-appointed rooms - oriental rugs, oversized, pine-knotted doors, and moody oil paintings abound - to the conveniently regular shuttle service to downtown Park City. 1
  • The ski butler on property was great - that's pretty standard among all the DV hotels, but it does make getting onto the slopes super easy daily 3
  • Now with that, you get fantastic rooms, great service and an amazing location on the mountain for skiing. 3
  • Also located in this lodge is the Stein's concierge. The staff here-yes, there are multiple, so you rarely have to wait in line-can set you up with reservations to any place in town and any activity. 12
Location9 mentions
  • Located just a 1 minute walk from the ski lifts, Goldener Hirsch is also the best option if you're planning a Park City ski vacation and you want to prioritize location and maximize time on the slopes. 2
  • The Lodges are at the center of it all, across the street from picturesque lakes and a short 10- to 15-minute walk to the Deer Valley Resort, chairlifts, and amphitheater. 9
  • The mid-mountain location gives you easy access to the whole mountain right at Silver Lake Lodge. It's the ideal location - you're not over by St. Regis where is a zoo with ski school and lots of beginners and you're not over by Empire / Montage where it's the much harder side of the mountain (best snow though for those who are intermediate) 3

  • Like various other Utah ski resorts, it's very close to a major airport and readily accessible. 15
  • The hotel enjoys an exclusive location in Deer Valley, a demure, upscale residential tract separate from but surrounded by Park City. 5
  • Now with that, you get fantastic rooms, great service and an amazing location on the mountain for skiing. 3
  • Regis offers a true five-star experience for year-round visitors to Park City. It rests on 12 slopeside acres at the base of the Wasatch Mountains in Park City, and it makes the most of its great location. 11
  • This mid-mountain property offers a choice of hotel rooms, studios and multi-bedroom condominiums. The Chateaux enjoys a perfect location for the avid skier at the Deer Valley slopes. 1

  • Agree on the service - we also came back late one night from a friends house on the mountain and ordered a bunch of food that wasn't on the late nite menu and they got it to us in legit 8 minutes. i timed it. 3
  • Cena Ristorante is open for breakfast, lunch, après ski and dinner during the ski season, with reduced hours during less busy times of year. The European-inspired décor is subtle and welcoming, with cozy round tables, wood-paneled booths and tasteful art. 16
  • Deer Valley has awesome food all around and I'll be honest that while GH wasn't bad, it wasn't as good as the food I had at Montage, St. Regis and even some off property spots. 3
  • The Chateaux has a decent Italian joint for those nights you can't be bothered to leave-but at such a short distance, make an effort to see to the city's perpetually-buzzing, and surprisingly varied restaurant scene-where else can you find a ski-in distillery and gastro-saloon (count the buzz words) to a family-friendly comfort food café? 19
  • The service is exemplary, and the on-site restaurant, Cena, offers traditional Italian dining in a warm and relaxing space. 1
  • In the wintertime, two hearty buffet breakfasts per room are complimentary with each night stay. 16
  • When you're not at The Brass Tag and you need a lunch spot with a view, you can take a 10-minute stroll from The Lodges through the gorgeous grassy trails across the street to hit up the Deer Valley Grocery-Cafe, which has really delicious breakfast, lunch, coffee, cocktails, desserts, and to-go meals. 9
  • With a wine vault catering for private dinners and the space for weddings up to 108 guests, there's plenty of options for larger groups, although current staffing shortages are temporarily making that more challenging. 2
  • In East Village, the Grand Hyatt Deer Valley delights with stunning views and craft cocktails at The Lounge at Remington Hall. We've written a full post on Deer Valley dining experiences, but the short story is that the dining options are as creative and customer-forward as the skiing. 17
  • Deer Valley Grocery-Cafe, which has really delicious breakfast, lunch, coffee, cocktails, desserts, and to-go meals. Better yet? Their outdoor terrace has an absolutely picturesque view of a lake and the valley. 9
  • The food is familiar without being pedestrian - try the chicken Parmesan with prosciutto polenta and asparagus or four-cheese flatbread pizza with mushrooms and pomodoro sauce to see what we mean. 16
  • The hotel also offers a heated pool and two hot tubs, live DJ on weekends, lawn games, a great selection of restaurants and bars, fitness centre and spa and gondola access right across the street. 2

  • The Lodges are home to an inviting little restaurant called The Brass Tag. 9
  • But it's just too strong of cheese for my taste. There's a cute breakfast place with to go stuff - we did this every morning for breakfast because we wanted to get on the slopes. 3
  • I really wish they had one more food outlet, that would really elevate things. If they could turn the lounge into an outlet with unique F&B it would be fantastic 3
  • Everywhere I looked, from delicious food to unexpected offerings, like complimentary mountain host tours, the more I discovered to try "next time." 17

  • While amenities are good, some parts of the hotel such as the restaurant are still undergoing renovation. 2

Value5 mentions
  • If you want to go all in-and get a Snow Park 4-bedroom suite complete with Deer Crest access and butler service-the rate tops out at an astounding $19,422 with taxes and fees included. This is an insane amount of money to spend on a hotel room, and to put it into perspective, you could buy 15 full Ikon Passes for the price of a single night in this room. 12
  • You have to pay a premium for everything at the Deer Valley Resort and this includes the lift tickets, food, ski school, and lodging. Of course there's no point complaining about the costs. If Deer Valley is within your budget then enjoy the exclusivity of it, and if not, go elsewhere! 15
