Stein Eriksen Lodge Deer Valley

This is the best place to stay in Utah, especially if you plan to ski at Deer Valley. The location is in the heart of Silver Lake Village. The ski valets are an incredible perk. The food is incredible, including the free skiers breakfast each morning. Everyone is super friendly. And the rooms have gorgeous views with fireplaces, crazy comfortable beds, etc. We stay here each year with our family and love love love it.

We splurged on a mountainside junior suite at the Lodge for a "girls" ski vacation. We were blown away by the outstanding service and felt spoiled. This ranged from Marie, our housekeeper, who took such care in her little touches cleaning our room, to Charlie who worked with his team to solve a little technical issue, to the ski valet team who put on my boots and set up my skis, to the drivers who dropped us off in Park city, and to the front desk team who welcomed us and was always responsive to our needs. Most impressive was on our final day when we were struggling carrying our boots and skis inside to pack away., "Dan (who introduced himself as the "chief driver) stepped in to help us move and pack up all our gear. He checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. We later learned that Dan (Flick) was actually the Chief Operating Officer. The service culture clearly starts at the top and permeates down to all levels. We can't wait to return next year and be spoiled again.

absolute magic for the Christmas and New Year's holiday. I could see fireworks from my balcony on New Year's Eve. There was a menorah to mark the Hannukah nights, but also an absolutely gorgeous enormous tree, I decorated ornaments and cookies, I sat by mammoth hearths, trekked about in the snow and got warm again. Truly wonderful.

Thank you Stein Eriksen Lodge for a wonderful stay. I booked what I thought was just a standard room, however upon check-in it seems they upgraded me to a beautiful deluxe room with a balcony, hot tub, and gorgeous valley view. What a special place this is. The food was great... the room service was timely and reliable every time. And the overall service was worth the extra money you pay to stay in a place like this. They also have the most wonderful staff, true professionals. I've stayed at competing properties in the valley where the service usually falls short of expectation time and time again. Stein Eriksen is privately owned and well run. They know how to take care of each guest's individual needs and deliver that truly special experience. There is a reason they are the only Forbes Five Star hotel in Utah.

All I can say is wow. We had a Junior Suite with a Mountain View and everything was simply perfect. Hot tub on the deck with a view? Check. Two fireplaces? Check. Extremely comfortable bed and sofas? Check. Outrageously luxe bathrooms? Check. Awesome staff? Double-check because these folks are great (ok, see below about the casual restaurant). All of this in a beautiful setting with two absolutely spectacular restaurants (ok, the service at the more casual option sucked, but the food made up for the sucky service).
