On a recent trip to Park City, I had the opportunity to stay at Stein Eriksen Lodge and what a truly special place it is. The only disappointment was actually having to leave to go home. The location is spectacular and the views are just absolutely breath taking, but more importantly the entire staff is incredible and beyond helpful with anything that you might need with luggage, ski equipment, lockers, etc. The attention to detail on the small things like chocolate truffles on your pillow each night and heated floors in the bathroom truly make this property first-class. The food was out of this world, including one of the best breakfast buffets I've ever had. The jazz band during apres was just the perfect way to unwind after a day on the slopes. On this trip, I did not have a vehicle, but Stein made that so effortless with being able to use their shuttles or even access to a Lincoln Navigator which was such a cool experience! Highly recommend Stein Eriksen, and can't wait to come back and enjoy the property again very soon. There isn't a better property in Park City. …
The Stein Eriksen Lodge Deer Valley is gorgeous! If you aren’t moved by the views alone, something is wrong. That isn’t even close to the best thing about this hotel, though. If impeccable service is a priority for you, SEL is the place for you. From the moment you step foot on the property, the service begins. Everyone of the valets are pleasant, helpful, and great to chat with. The front desk and concierge are also welcoming and helpful. This is a full service hotel—bags taken to room, reservations booked for you, car brought around as needed. They do not skimp on service! It is five star service without being stuffy and too formal. Our room was a three bedroom loft suite. It was gorgeous. (Our hot tub was not working despite the staff’s best effort to get it fixed before our arrival, but we didn’t miss it.) Everything was clean, spacious, and the suite overlooked the pool area. Cleaning staff were helpful and never pushy. We arrived a week before high season. This hotel was not at max capacity but you could tell they were getting ready. Our service did not suffer one bit as they geared up, though. There is a game room, movie theater, two restaurants, a spa, fitness center, pool, a couple shops, and some gorgeous scenery. There is also a free shuttle service within the local area. Download the app and let them know when and where to get you. We never waited more than 5-10 minutes. This place is top-notch on service. Truly. Many places get by with being barely pleasant. This hotel takes pleasant to a whole new level. They set the bar on personalized, quality service. It’s a gorgeous hotel, but their real asset is their people.…
I had some business in Park City and extended my stay with a few nights at Stein Eriksen Lodge at the recommendation of a big skiier. It was incredible! There was tons of snow and the mountain was busy. The view from my room was breathtaking, the bed and pillows were so comfortable, and the room was modern and well stocked. The breakfast buffet was a feast, and dinner at Glitretind restaurant was delicious with top-notch service. Patrick was the best waiter! The apres-ski was lively, with a jazz band that played pop hits. I even managed to get a massage and do some yoga before I left. There is turn-down service each night with the most delicious chocolates. The service was incredible at every step of the way, and it's obvious why this resort is 5 stars. Especially if you are a skiier, the mid-mountain location can't be beat. Hop on a chairlift outside and you're good to go!…
I am a traveling photographer and I have stayed a lot of places. I love the Stein Eriksen Lodge. It is a world class lodge. It is not only beautifully designed the staff is so kind and friendly, the food is delicious and the rooms are so unique and comfortable and like your own cabin in the woods. But being able to walk out of your room and walk to the ski lift is pretty damn cool. IF you are wanting to visit Park City/Deer Lodge there is no better place to stay.
Let me start out with the good things: clearly this is a historic lodge of great importance to the history of Deer Valley. The location is the best for serious skiers. The ski and boot room service is the best. Most of the people who work there are eager to do well and are professional, dutiful, courteous, and truly want the guest to feel good. Mr. Benjamin the front desk manager ever so friendly and caring. BUT... if you are looking for beautiful rooms (I know beauty is subjective) I did not find it here. The decor is dowdy at best and almost depressing. The lodge is in dire need of updating. Yes, some history and old places are charming.. but in this case there is a depressive feel to the rooms' set up. I was told that all rooms, residences, and accommodations are privately owned and decorated differently. But most that I looked at after I got so upset with our assigned room were mostly the same. Dated and dowdy. I was also told that if you rent in the newer part of the Erickson estates (it was not clear to me what exactly that meant no matter how much I asked) that the accommodations are newer. There are houses for sale, condos being built, and one 22 million dollar home being adverstised for sale.. All looked amazing.. So maybe that is the direction of the future? Not sure. it is very hard to understand this place actually. AND, no one seems to know how to explain it. AS for the FOOD: THAT IS THE MOST AWFUL. Room service is below mediocre with a very limited menu. Someone needs to find a better chef for sure. The main restaurant staff all friendly and nice (too many people stranding around somehow.. but eager to be welcoming) and the food very average. The breakfast people surely work hard to present a well balance buffet. But, there again, the chef needs to be replaced FOR SURE. Everything could be many notches better. I am not sure as we spent AROUND 2500 DOLLARS EACH NIGHT FOR A ROOM HOW ON EARTH TO JUSTIFY THAT WITH WHAT WE EXPERIENCED! This hotel at best may be for large conferences or meetings maybe? I will say that the manager did 'upgrade' us. But what that meant just a bigger room with a kitchen and wood fireplace. The furnishings again 'dowdy'. Something my great grandparents furnished? I understand that there is a certain 'style' to Deer Valley as we saw some of those sort of neglected hotel entrances and stained benches at the Montage, and perhaps the best of the worst (since we did make an effort to discover other venues while we were there) MAYBE the St. Regis (that too felt so commercial and many unused neglected spaces. NONE of the charm of say Beaver Creek or even Jackson Hole. The ski slopes are the best but WHY and can someone explain to me is the food, accommodations, and style of the Deer Valley so lacking of charm and cozy? It does not take much to fix a broken light finial in a reception area? Or to have a clean bench? Or to employ some fresh colors and liveliness (for example most spaces in the ST. Regis as we visited in the afternoon where not utilized and felt so lonely)... Anyway... that is my honest review. Sad about it. Why do we continue to accept mediocrity?…
We had always wanted to stay at 'The Stein' and finally had a chance when it was time to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary. When we arrived, I asked for an upgrade as our room didn't have a fireplace. Even though the property was near capacity, Gaylia, at the front desk, worked with her manager to find us the absolutely PERFECT suite for our stay. We enjoyed a gorgeous King suite with 2 fireplaces, huge kitchen, large hot tub and really amazing views. We skied, enjoyed the delicious food at the restaurants (including Sunday brunch), even dined in an Alpenglobe. We both agree that the couples massage at the spa was probably our favorite aspect of the trip. SEL truly lives up to its reputation and has the highest standard of service. It was a true European ski lodge experience in every detail. The Stein Eriksen tradition lives on with this gem of a resort. Don't miss out on a chance to experience it yourself. …
We stayed in late October and were there for the first fall snow. What a treat! Lovely property with generous rooms. The food is good. Service is professional. Only strange thing is going to the restaurant for a drink at night. Utah has some strict drinking laws. We had to order food with drinks even though we were full from eating out. Not a big deal.
Stayed here with friends. My room had a hot tub on the balcony, nightly turn down service was amazing. Really enjoyed breakfast, lunch in the igloos outside on the balcony. I have been to the spa here many times and it’s one of my favorite spas in deer valley.
We had drinks and dessert at the Troll Haven and we had the best experience we have had in a long time. Our server, Elizabeth was not kidding, the best server I have ever had. Super knowledgeable, energetic and very hospitable. The cocktails and desserts were top of the line! We met Chef Evan and he was so kind and does an amazing job. I would highly recommend this place. 5-Star
Every year as we depart after out annual Thanksgiving stay we all wonder how it could have been any better! We started this tradition when our family was small. It has now grown to include extended family as well and we are now at about 52 family members who enjoy Thanksgiving week at Stein Eriksen. The atmosphere, the hospitality, the food ( especially Stein burgers) and the incredible staff make it a week to remember. I love how low key the whole experience is but I know that for it to be low key requires a lot of effort from everyone behind the scenes. I highly recommend Stein Eriksen year round not just for the holidays!
