7 Best Hotels in Park City and the Southern Wasatch, Utah
Chain hotels and motels dot I–15 all along the Wasatch Front and nearly always have availability. Every small town on the back side of the range has at least one good bed-and-breakfast, and most towns have both independent and chain motels. Condominiums dominate Park City lodging, but you also find high-end hotels, luxurious lodges, and well-run bed-and-breakfast inns. All this luxury means prices here tend to be higher than in other areas in the state during the winter. Prices drop significantly in the warmer months, when package deals or special rates are offered. Lodging in Provo tends to be most expensive during the week. Make reservations well in advance for busy ski holidays like Christmas, Presidents' Day, and Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and during January's Sundance Film Festival. As the mountain country is often on the cool side, lodgings at higher elevations generally don't have air-conditioning.
The Chateaux Deer Valley
Just steps away from the Deer Valley lifts at Silver Lake Village, this modern interpretation of a luxury European château incorporates designer furnishings, heated towel racks, full kitchens in suites, gas fireplaces, and numerous windows with spectacular mountain views. Renovations in 2022 added an expanded courtyard with fountains, cozy seating areas with fire pits, outdoor games, and plenty of space for kids to roam, plus an updated outdoor pool area with more lounge chairs, a second hot tub, and a spacious fitness center. The service is exemplary, and the on-site restaurant, Cena, offers traditional Italian dining in a warm and relaxing space. Complimentary s'mores kits and a daily breakfast buffet are offered year-round.
Grand Summit Hotel
Located in the heart of Canyons Village, the hotel is just steps from a heated chairlift and golf course, making lodgings here ideal year-round. A $15 million renovation in 2017 updated this slope-side hotel and now Grand Summit is part of Vail Resorts' premium Rock Resorts lodging collection. The lobby's modern stone and timber interior leads to 212 rooms, most of which are condo-style units with kitchens. Accommodations range from studios to four-bedroom penthouses. Restaurants, shops, a spa, and a year-round heated pool complement your stay any season of the year.
