Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Montage Deer Valley is a skier's dream. Perched on Empire Pass, the hotel provides ski-in/ski-out access
right next to the lifts of Deer Valley. That means you can go from your cozy, refined craftsman-style room to the top-notch slopes in a snap.
To make it even easier to hit Deer Valley Resort's more than 200 skiable acres, visit the hotel's onsite Compass Sports to buy lift tickets and pick up rentals. The staff members will not only warm your boots, but help you put them on and take them off. And staff will have hot apple cider and freshly baked cookies waiting when you return.
However, you’re not limited to wintertime activities here — the hotel also is a great spot for hiking, biking, golf and fly-fishing. Other all-season activities you have to try include a visit to Spa Montage, which has an indoor lap pool and outdoor pool with sundeck, and a farm-to-table meal at Apex.

Our Inspector's Highlights
- The luxurious resort’s Five-Star restaurant, Apex, serves delicious meals three times a day, but dinner is the real winner — order Utah trout with green beans and potatoes, fried capers and a rich lemon-brown-butter sauce, or braised short ribs with horseradish whipped potatoes for a farm-to-table taste sensation.
- Should you need some pampering after a day on the slopes, ski right in to Spa Montage Deer Valley, which offers custom treatments to suit your individual needs using botanical and herbal ingredients for a holistic experience.
- The luxury Park City hotel has both an indoor and an outdoor pool. Thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, both pools offer panoramic views of the surrounding mountains for a scenic and relaxing experience.
- The family-friendly ski resort offers a host of amenities to keep kids and teens busy, like the Paintbox club. But our favorite for the little ones (and selfishly, ourselves) is the complimentary s’mores on the Vista Terrace from 4 to 5 p.m. daily. These go beyond the ordinary campfire treats with housemade marshmallows in delectable flavors like strawberry, mint and caramel and gluten-free graham crackers.
