Hotel information
For superb skiing, multiple dining experiences, excellent amenities for children and accommodation to suit everyone from single travellers to groups; this US ski resort has it all.
With miles of trails on its doorstep, Montage Deer Valley offers unbeatable ski-in-ski-out access to the slopes of Deer Valley Resort – a specially designed resort, uniquely tailored for all guests from the avid skier to the those seeking a true mountain experience. From excellent aprés dining to seamless ski lessons, Deer Valley makes for an excellent ski break in the USA.
Inspired by the great mountain lodges of North America, the resort is a large retreat just five minutes from Park City’s Main Street, and a 40-minute transfer from the international airport at Salt Lake City. Here the 220 guest rooms, suites and residences offer homely, spacious accommodation for all, the latter being a favourite with families thanks to their additional bedrooms and kitchen.
The wealth of onsite activities to enjoy when you’re not skiing mean there are plenty of experiences to have away from the slopes too. These include treatments at the alpine-inspired Spa Montage (the largest spa in Utah); a visit to the pub that has its own bowling alley; toasting marshmallows at the Nightly S’mores around the fire pit; making new friends at the Paintbox; and (a visitor favourite) being introduced to Montage Deer Valley’s resident Bernese Mountain Dog at his daily meet-and-greet.
From refined dining in the hotel’s signature restaurant to sushi with a view of the slopes; chilli and churros served from an Airstream to alley-side pizzas and local microbrews... the dining options at Montage Deer Valley are casual and perfect for families, as well as boasting more formal fare for adults too.
A superb US ski resort in the heart of the mountains with everything you need under one snow-laden roof.

Restaurants & Bars
Like everything at the Montage Deer Valley, the restaurants focus on giving you variety and catering well for families. So there’s the option to have sushi and sake one night, burgers and beers the next. Grab a cuppa before you head to the slopes and a glass of Veuve on your way back. Children’s menus mean kids can join in with the experience, and mealtimes are made more special by the chance to sit beside a roaring fire or compete with a post-dinner family bowling match.
Apex
The resort’s signature restaurant is stylish, considered one of Deer Valley’s best dining settings with its take on a modern American steakhouse. Exceptional cuts of meat are offered alongside sustainable seafood and a huge collection of global wines. As well as the refined menu there is a children’s menu with crowd-pleasers like chicken tenders and mac ’n’ cheese.
Burgers & Bourbon
Bringing together two of the USA’s favourite things, there are milkshakes, cocktails, wings, nachos and of course French fries to accompany the huge menu of gourmet burgers and craft spirits at Burgers & Bourbon. As with everything at Montage Deer Valley there is a family-friendly element – with kids picking from their own menu.
Daly’s Pub & Rec
Family-favourite Daly’s pitches itself as a gourmet pub, with an open kitchen serving pizzas and a bar with local microbrews. The children’s menu has pastas, burgers and American favourites like grilled cheese. And there are healthier options too; salmon and veggies for the kids, and market greens and cobb salads for the grown-ups.
The Après Lounge
This high-end, alpine-style champagne bar is directly behind the resort with access to three of the ski lifts. Pop in after a day on the slopes for a glass of Veuve Clicquot and a selection of gourmet small dishes, including caviar and charcuterie boards.
Yama Sushi
Enjoy a taste of Japan in Park City at this intimate, relaxed setting overlooking the Empire ski runs. Tuck into daily rolls, sashimi and seafood served with sake flight pairings and beers from Japan, or with a Japanese-inspired cocktail like the delicious Cherry Blossom.
Slope Stream
Unique Slope Stream is a converted Airstream serving up hearty fare to enjoy beside the outdoor fire, think: chilli, sandwiches, tacos and sweet treats including churros and apple empanadas. Quite often you’ll find live music beside the Slope Stream.
Vista Lounge
Take a seat here for some of the best views of Park City, with the atmosphere set by live music, a roaring fireplace and a menu of sharing dishes like fondue, charcuterie and rillette. Don’t miss the chocolate fondue for pudding.
Buzz
Get a caffeine kick before you head to the slopes at the resort’s in-house cafe with its fresh coffee brews and speciality teas, and where you can pick up picnic foods to take out.
Alpine Pool
The heated outdoor pool and outdoor hot tub at the resort are served by the Alpine Pool menu of burgers and light bites, cocktails and a children’s menu.
Activities & Entertainment
Skiing
If you’re an experienced skier then you’ll be bowled over by the snow and facilities around Montage Deer Valley. It’s exceptional for first-timers too, with ski schools and gentle slopes aplenty. The Wasatch Mountain terrain around the resort is for skiers only. Montage Deer Valley is ski-in-ski-out, giving access to 200 acres of skiable terrain from three high-speed chairlifts.
Snow here is pretty much guaranteed, with 300 inches of fresh powder annually and a reputation for “The Greatest Snow on Earth®”.
Ski schools and private tutorials ensure instruction for beginners and improvers, with plenty of wintry activities to mix up the skiing, like dog sledding and snowshoeing.
At the resort itself a Mountain Host and onsite outfitter – Compass Sports – arrange all the details from lift tickets to lessons. While the dedicated ski concierge sort the indulgent details, including warming your ski boots each morning and booking ski massages at the spa.
Spa & Wellness
Melt into the dreamy surrounds of the resort’s expansive 35,000-square-foot spa, an alpine oasis that offers a real contrast to the wintry experiences outside.
A vast menu of treatments specialises in Signature Elements of Wellness therapies, with deluge showers, an indoor lap pool, whirlpools, steam rooms and redwood saunas to enjoy before and after, as well as meditation areas around an open fire.
Both a salon and fitness facility are housed at Spa Montage, the latter with state-of-the-art equipment and a yoga studio.
Family Activities
Provision for children at Montage Deer Valley is exceptional, and one of the many reasons it’s one of Park City’s best hotels for families.
The children’s programme Paintbox is for guests aged five to 12-years-old, with games, movies and crafts. Paintbox kids are encouraged to get outdoors too, with the mountainside scavenger hunts a favourite activity. Children can collect badges for completing various tasks during their stay; being awarded a special badge if they conquer them all.
Activities the whole family can get involved in include horse-drawn sleigh rides, bowling and arcade games at the resort’s pub, family yoga and the nightly S’mores around the fire pit.
UPPAbaby® strollers can be reserved for free, and for a special bit of memory-making for young children there is the in-room Camping Experience.
Shopping
Take a break from the slopes and spend a day in the stores and boutiques of Park City, one of Utah’s best shopping spots.
Amble down Main Street for galleries and fashion shops housed in historic buildings. Or take the short transfer to the City Creek Center, home to Tiffany & Co and Hugo Boss. Here there’s a freshwater creek running through the middle of the walkway and kids love to watch the fountains’ hourly performance to music.
There are boutiques actually within the resort too, selling everything from the latest books to skiwear.
