Park City Ski: Holidaying Five Star

We’ve already talked about all the ways you can get the most out of your Park City ski holiday without busting your budget, but Park City also offers plenty of five-star fun.

If you’re planning to treat yourself to luxury accommodation and top nosh, you could do a lot worse than the following fine establishments…

Stein Eriksen Lodge Deer Valley

Five-star, thy name is Stein Eriksen Lodge Deer Valley. In fact, this luxury accommodation is Utah’s only Forbes Five-Star, AAA Five-Diamond hotel.

Guests gain ski-in/ski-out access to Deer Valley Resort when they stay at Stein, plus Forbes Four-Star dining and a Forbes Five-Star 23,000-square-foot spa.

If you’ve been lucky enough to take in Europe on past ski adventures, you’ll feel instantly at home at Stein. Thanks to its Norwegian roots it has a gorgeous old-world feel – the perfect antidote to a rough and tumble day on the slopes or shopping it up on Park City’s bustling Main Street.

St Regis Deer Valley

Like things fancy-schmancy? St Regis Deer Valley is you all over. The staff here have turned hospitality into an art form. Combining a rustic aesthetic with classic, five-star service, you’re in for an unforgettable experience both on and off the Park City ski slopes.

Enjoy ski-in/ski-out access to Deer Valley Resort and impeccable service, including ski valets and automatic boot dryers.

Take in the breathtaking surrounds whilst enjoying a dip. St Regis is home to a heated split-level infinity swimming pool below the Mountain Terrace. If you’re a fitness enthusiast with energy to burn, try the Techno Gym equipment, plus yoga and Pilates lessons. And, it’s the perfect excuse (as if you need one) to try the steam and sauna rooms on for size to sooth your weary muscles.

With three restaurants and two bars, your taste buds are well catered to at St Regis. They offer everything from simple food on the run to artisanal cuisine. Plus, wash it down with a fine vintage from the Wine Vault.

Montage Deer Valley

Yet another luxury hotel that calls Deer Valley Resort home, the year-round Montage is one of North America’s most appealing mountain resort destinations.

Opened in 2010, the Montage is just five minutes from Main Street, so you won’t risk missing out on the action, but still has all the charm of an on-mountain getaway, with ski-in/ski-out access.

We’ll get to the food in a minute. Before that, let’s talk spa treatments. Spa Montage is home to head to toe pampering, as well as tailored wellness programs.

Whatever your taste buds have a hankering for, the Montage can serve it up on a plate. Literally. The Apex restaurant delivers regionally-inspired dishes amongst a picture-perfect alpine setting, while Daly’s Pub & Rec is the pick for family fun and brick oven pizzas. For something a little fancier, treat yourself to the cocktails and Asian-inspired cuisine at the Vista Lounge and Terrace, or fresh sushi at seasonal dining spot Yama Sushi.

Too pooped to leave you room? No problemo. In-room dining’s always on offer.

Waldorf Astoria Park City

The Waldorf’s spacious, gracious rooms and suites manage to be both luxurious and homely. One-to-four bedroom residences are available – perfect whatever the size of your ski party.

Have you worked up an appetite that even après ski couldn’t curb? The Waldorf Astoria Park City offers everything from casual dining at the Powder Lounge, to modern mountain fare at Slopes, named America’s hottest hotel restaurant 2012 by Travel & Leisure no less.

Die hard foodies may recognise the masterful touch of executive chef Clement Gelas, who previously turned his hand to delicious cuisine at La Maison de Marc Veyrat in the Swiss Alps and the Michelin-starred L’Oxlays in France’s Val Thorens.
