Founded in 1981 by Edgar Stern, Deer Valley was a revolutionary concept bringing world-class service and luxury to a ski resort at a time when that type of recreation was virtually unheard of.
Over the past 44 years, Deer Valley has seen extensive development that is still happening to this day! It has been the inspiration and blueprint for numerous other ski resorts hoping to capture the same sense of magnificence.
What makes Deer Valley so exceptional? We can’t name one singular facet. There are countless elements that come together to create the magical opulence Deer Valley has become famous for.
In this post, we’re looking at some of the best hotels in Deer Valley.

Montage Deer Valley
What’s the difference between the Montage and St. Regis? For starters, The Montage is situated higher on the hill. Those seeking access to the slopes at a higher elevation will appreciate the location. The second biggest difference between these two iconic Deer Valley hotels is the size. Technically, The Montage is larger than The St. Regis. However, the two hotels are structured differently. While the St. Regis Residences are a separate entity from the hotel, at The Montage, they are combined.
Both hotels are ski-in, ski-out, and both are known for high-end amenities. From Daly’s Pub and Rec, complete with its own arcade and bowling alley, to a sophisticated and elegant take on the traditional steakhouse at Apex, The Montage caters to every craving.
Whether you’re staying at one of the guest rooms, suites, or residences at The Montage, you’ll have access to the fantastic recreational amenities including biking, fly fishing, horseback riding, and of course, skiing.
And when you’re ready to relax, Spa Montage is a 35,000-square-foot sanctuary that takes relaxation and wellness to a new level.
