Waldorf Astoria Park City

To give this hotel 5 out of 5 is just simply not good enough. First of all STUNNING. The staff is absolutely amazing. The hotel and grounds are impeccably kept. The Waldorf Astoria is an absolute must if you are planning a stay in Park City, Utah.

We stayed here on 9/23-9/25/24 in room 6171. It was our third stay at this hotel. We found the hotel to be very good to great and the staff exceptional. Our room was a bit small, but well appointed. There was a Nespresso machine, fridge (no freezer) and wet bar. There is no microwave but there was a electric kettle under the wet bar sink for tea. The bathroom was good sized but has limited counter space. There is decent water pressure from the rainfall style shower. There are no grab bars in the tub/shower. The tub is jetted. There is a fireplace but no balcony. The room faces the interior courtyard and pool. It is far from the lobby (about a 5 to 6 min. walk) . Of the three rooms we have stayed here in, 6171 was our least favorite. The hotel has a great S'mores station and several outdoor fire pits to cook your S'mores over. Parking is valet only ($45/day) and the valet staff were great. We never waited to pick up our car or to drop it off. The concierge staff (Zile) was very helpful in pre-planning our stay and where to best find fall foliage (try N Pine Canyon Rd. off Guardsman Pass). We had dinner in the bar and two breakfasts in the restaurant. Our meals were good to very good and the service very good to excellent. We will stay here again. Tips: If coming from Provo, check to see if the construction on the flyover connecting to I 80 is done, if not come from SLC. The was construction on the road leading to Silver Lake in Brighton and the end of the Guardsmans pass near there (two separate spots) which added an hour to our drive there and back..

Don’t let the name fool you. You’ll pay Waldorf prices for a sub-Marriott experience. First, the pluses. The valets are very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We didn’t eat in the restaurant, but the room service food was very good, albeit very overpriced (one bagel, fruit salad, two pots of coffee came to just over $100 dollars after all the additional taxes and service charges). Now the not so good news. Don’t expect the luxury you would expect from Waldorf. The overall feel was somewhere between a Marriott and a Courtyard. Canned and nothing special, industrial around the edges. Our suite was not in great shape. The sofa was stained, and deck railing was disintegrating before our eyes. The room must have been 80 degrees when we checked in, but the AC was weak and the windows didn’t open, so our first night was pretty hot. Our deck faced the courtyard pool and relaxation was out of the question. We had Bon Jovi and similar blaring on loudspeakers in the afternoon and early evening. We went to join the fun one day and the pool area was actually empty (not sure who the loud music was for). There were waitstaff for poolside service, but they weren’t waiting on anyone, just gabbing on the side and doing a very good job of ignoring us. We just left that train wreck after 20 minutes with no service. Overall, this place falls far short of what I expect from a Waldorf, and it kind of put me off the brand all together.

We stayed here recently and really enjoyed the hotel. Convenient to Park City and Kimball Junction. Between the two you probably have 40 restaurants to choose from. Only gripe was they need more restaurant options in the hotel itself, but I understand that is coming.

We had a wonderful stay, and I just wanted to thank Breanna W. again for helping us with our room accommodations. We had a great experience…everything from the unique touches like the ski valet, to s’mores, hot cocoa aprés ski drinks, to bath robes in the room. We utilized both the gondola across the street to access the slopes, as well as the free shuttle service to ski another part of the mountain,l and to go into town in the evening. The complimentary shoe shine was also a welcome treat. We also enjoyed the two large hot tubs as well, much needed after long ski days. Only suggestion would be to offer complimentary parking for Hilton Honors elite members. We have stayed at this hotel twice now and would love to come back again.
