Your Alpine Playground: Summer at Montage Deer Valley

Location: Park City, Utah

Experience We Love: Summer nights don't get much better than Deer Valley's free outdoor concerts. There's nothing like relaxing with live music and a packed picnic as the sun sets over the mountains.

Summer calls for something special—a chance to trade your daily routine for mountain air, scenic trails, and luxury that feels effortless. And if you've been dreaming of an alpine getaway that combines adventure with indulgence, Montage Deer Valley might just be exactly what you're looking for.

From the moment you step inside, you'll feel the difference. Murphy, the resort's beloved Bernese Mountain Dog and official Canine Ambassador, sets the tone with his wagging tail and warm welcome. As you take in the stunning backdrop of the Wasatch Mountains, you'll find yourself perfectly positioned to enjoy it all. Perched on Empire Pass with ski-in/ski-out access, and just a two-minute walk from the Empire and Lady Morgan ski lifts, the best of Deer Valley is truly at your doorstep.

Awards tell a story, and Montage Deer Valley's story is impressive. Beyond the Forbes Five-Star rating, it holds a Michelin Guide One Key designation and consistently ranks as the #1 hotel and resort in Park City and Utah by U.S. News & World Report. These aren't just nice badges—they're proof that the experience here meets the highest standards year after year.

Accommodations that embrace Mountain Living

Every single room offers views of mountains or valleys. Let that sink in for a moment—no matter where you stay, you'll wake up to scenery that most people only see in postcards.

The accommodations range from cozy 600-square-foot rooms to expansive 3,200-square-foot private residences. Each space features a gas fireplace, a private balcony or patio, and furnishings that honor the region's heritage. The marble bathrooms, complete with soaking tubs and heated floors, make coming back from a day of adventure feel like stepping into your own personal spa.

Speaking of impressive spaces, the Flagstaff Suite earned recognition on Elite Traveler's "Top 100 World's Finest Suites" for 2025, continuing its streak from previous years. When a suite consistently makes those kinds of lists, you know you're in for something extraordinary.

Dining that celebrates the Mountain Setting

Seven dining options mean you'll never run out of delicious options. The flagship restaurant, Apex, transforms throughout the day to match your mood and appetite. During the day, it serves seasonal breakfast and lunch with fresh, local ingredients. But when evening arrives, it becomes Apex Steak—a fine dining destination where Executive Chef Kevin Hee puts a progressive spin on the traditional American steakhouse.
Those summer patio seats at Apex deserve special mention. There's something magical about dining al fresco while surrounded by mountain peaks, especially when the cuisine matches the spectacular setting.

For families, Daly's Pub & Rec combines excellent food and entertainment with bowling, billiards, and games, alongside handcrafted brick-oven pizzas and local microbrews. Burgers & Bourbon keeps things casual with gourmet burgers and hand-spun shakes. And Yama Sushi offers the freshest sushi in Park City with views overlooking the Empire ski runs.
The Après Lounge and Slope Stream are the ultimate spots for outdoor dining and drinks—whether you're taking a breather from hiking or just want to kick back by the firepits and soak in those jaw-dropping mountain views.

Adventures for every type of Explorer

This is where Montage Deer Valley really shines. With over 400 miles of hiking trails surrounding the resort, you can choose everything from gentle walks to challenging high-altitude adventures. The onsite Compass Sports team offers guided hikes led by expert guides who know the terrain for all skill levels.

Want to try something new? Private archery lessons and axe throwing might surprise you with how much fun they are. Guided mountain bike tours let you explore trails you'd never find on your own. And there's something timeless about horseback riding through wildflower-dotted trails that makes you feel connected to the landscape in a whole new way.

For those seeking a bit more tranquility, fly fishing in mountain streams offers peaceful moments away from the hustle and bustle. And as evening falls, gathering around the fire for s'mores brings out the kid in everyone, no matter your age.

The scenic lift rides also deserve their own mention. Gliding up the mountain on a chairlift in the summer gives you breathtaking views of the Wasatch Range that you just can't get on a hike or drive. It's such a simple experience, yet there's something magical about being surrounded by that kind of natural beauty.

Spa Montage the Healing Power of Nature

After a day of adventure, the 35,000-square-foot Spa Montage is the perfect place to unwind. With 29 treatment rooms and cozy men's and women's facilities complete with fireplaces, saunas, steam rooms, and whirlpools, it's a true retreat for mind and body. Both indoor and outdoor pools offer panoramic mountain views, making even a simple swim feel like an elevated experience. And those views—they never get old.

Offering innovative treatments designed to enhance recovery, skin health, performance, and overall well-being, the spa provides a holistic approach to wellness. Whether you're seeking deep muscle relief after a strenuous hike or simply looking to relax, enjoy personalized Elements of Wellness journeys, crafted to restore balance and revitalize your body and mind. Elevating their offerings even further, they've recently partnered with Fatma Shaheen of Skin Design London, introducing exclusive, luxurious facials to their array of treatments.
