Grand Hyatt Deer Valley Now Open as the First Resort in New Deer Valley East Village

PARK CITY, UTAH (November 20, 2024) - Opening today, the extraordinary Grand Hyatt Deer Valley welcomes guests as a premier destination for sophisticated travel and all-season adventure. This captivating resort features approximately 436 luxury accommodations, including 55 residences, and introduces a variety of culinary concepts, promising an exceptional experience for all. The resort anchors the newly developed Deer Valley East Village-the first luxury alpine village of its kind in North America since 1981, which is being developed by the visionary Extell Development Company-and is set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of the Wasatch and Uinta Mountains. Grand Hyatt Deer Valley provides direct access to Deer Valley Resort, including the 300+ new skiable acres, 20 debut runs, and three new chairlifts, and is expected to open for the 2024/2025 season in December, conditions permitting.

"Grand Hyatt Deer Valley proudly welcomes visitors and the local community to experience this transformative moment for both the ski industry and the region," said Anthony Duggan, Area Vice President and General Manager of Grand Hyatt Deer Valley. "We're committed to continuing to foster connections with local businesses and organizations, and together, we'll offer our guests truly authentic experiences that highlight the best that our destination has to offer-from premium accommodations to exceptional dining and unforgettable outdoor adventures."

ACCOMODATIONS
The resort's 381 spacious, luxurious guest rooms welcome in breathtaking views of the iconic Rocky Mountains, Heber Valley and Jordanelle Reservoir through oversized windows that frame the stunning landscape. Designed by Denver-based OZ Architecture, the hotel draws inspiration from the region's rich mining history and nearby Wasatch Mountains, incorporating a mix of materials, including metals and stone. Modern mountain design and spa-inspired bathrooms ensure guests have a comfortable retreat from the endless adventures that await them outside. Standard rooms feature spacious layouts with walk-in closets to accommodate the entire family. Meanwhile, 55 premium, residential suites offer the added luxury of balconies, kitchenettes and fireplaces. All rooms are equipped with modern amenities, including 55-inch flat-screen HDTVs, Nespresso coffee makers, blackout curtains, individual climate control, hair dryers, bathrobes and minifridges. The resort also offers an array of amenities outside of the guestrooms, including a heated outdoor pool, three oversized hot tubs, and a spacious pool deck offering panoramic mountain views and a lively nighttime entertainment program.

CULINARY
Led by Hyatt culinary leader Chef Marc Marrone, Executive Chef Viktor Merenyi and legendary New York City Mixologist Frank Maldonado, Grand Hyatt Deer Valley's distinct culinary concepts are elevating Park City's dining scene.
