Montage Deer Valley Residences

MARK DEVELOPED THE MONTAGE AND HAS LISTED AND SOLD OVER 40 RESIDENCES

Ski-in, ski-out ownership with five-star service at the top of Empire Pass

Montage Deer Valley sits higher on the mountain than any other full-service resort in Park City. It's slopeside at Empire Pass, a few miles above Main Street, and you step out of the building onto Deer Valley's upper mountain. For owners, that means the ski day starts at the top instead of the base, and a Montage staff handles almost everything else.

If you're considering a residence here, this is what ownership actually includes.

The Property

The resort combines a luxury hotel with private residences under one roof. It has 174 guest rooms and suites alongside 81 residences, and the residences are on the resort's upper floors with private access. That arrangement is the core of the ownership experience: your home is private, and the hotel's restaurants, spa, and staff are an elevator ride away.

The architecture is classic Western mountain lodge, with stone, timber, and big fireplaces rather than glass-box modern. It fits the setting. It's also one of the few hotels in the area where the lobby feels like a place people want to spend time.

The Residences

Residences run from one-bedroom floor plans at 1,221 square feet to 5-bedroom penthouses at 7,047 square feet. The layouts vary a lot by floor and exposure. Some face the ski runs, some look out over the resort grounds, and the upper floors take in long views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

Residence features include:

• Gourmet kitchens with granite countertops and Viking, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances
• Hand-scraped walnut plank floors and cherry millwork
• Gas fireplaces in the living room and primary bedroom
• Five-fixture bathrooms with Turkish limestone floors and Italian marble countertops
• A full-size Miele washer and dryer
• In select residences, a guest room lock-off with its own private entrance

Many residences have been renovated since they were first delivered, so finishes differ from home to home. That's worth knowing when you compare listings, because two residences with similar square footage can present very differently.

What Owners Receive

This is where Montage separates itself from a conventional slopeside condo. Owners get a defined set of privileges on top of the residence.

Owner-only services

• A private Resident's Lounge with its own concierge
• Pre-arrival and post-departure services, so the home is prepared before you arrive and closed up after you leave
• Continental breakfast and après-ski snacks in the Lounge
• Resort-sponsored owner events throughout the year
• Reserved garage parking
• Direct billing to a house account, so dining, spa, and resort charges go to one account

Priority and preferred pricing

• Priority dining and spa reservations
• Preferred pricing on resort amenities and services
• Preferred hotel room reservations, which is useful when you have more guests than bedrooms

Hotel-level service at home

• 24-hour in-room dining
• Turn-down housekeeping
• Express laundry service
• Valet and house car transportation
• 24-hour security and private elevator access

The Resident's Lounge is on the eighth floor. It's where owners gather for après, catch a game, and meet the residential concierge team, who handle arrival and departure logistics. For owners who fly in from out of state, that team is a big part of what you're paying for.

The Hotel and Amenities

Skiing. Montage offers true direct ski-in, ski-out access. The Empire Canyon Express lift is right outside, and on a powder morning you can walk downstairs and be on the lift in minutes. Deer Valley remains a skier-only resort, which many owners see as part of the appeal.

Spa Montage. At 35,000 square feet, Spa Montage is one of the largest resort spas in Utah. It has 29 treatment rooms, hair and nail services, a fitness center with daily classes, saunas, whirlpools, steam rooms, and indoor and outdoor pools. The indoor pool, with its mosaic tile, is one of the best-looking rooms in Park City.

Dining. The resort's venues include:

• Apex, the signature restaurant, casual by day and more refined at night
• Vista Lounge & Terrace, with views of the Wasatch and Uinta ranges
• Yama Sushi, open in winter, overlooking the Empire runs
• Daly's Pub & Rec, with four regulation bowling lanes, billiards, darts, and arcade games
• Buzz, for coffee and grab-and-go

For families. Montage works unusually well for kids. There's a kids' club, a sledding hill outside the doors, the bowling alley at Daly's, and daily complimentary s'mores on the Vista Terrace in the afternoon. Families who buy here tend to say the kids are the ones who don't want to leave.

Getting around. House car service runs owners down to Main Street, and an on-site outfitter, Compass Sports, handles ski and bike rentals.

Renting Your Residence

Rental flexibility is a major part of the Montage ownership decision. Depending on the unit's HOA designation, owners may participate in the hotel rental program, manage rentals privately, or choose not to rent. The hotel rental program is opt-in and should be confirmed for each residence.

Montage is also the only hotel-branded, full-service condo hotel at Empire Pass. For buyers comparing rental performance, that's a real distinction from the other buildings nearby.

My take: the right rental decision depends on how often you'll use the home and which weeks matter to you. Before you buy, review the specific residence's rental designation and its program history. A good residence can still be a poor fit if the rental terms don't match how you plan to use it.

Who Montage Deer Valley Is Right For

• Out-of-state second-home owners who want the home maintained and ready without managing anything themselves
• Families who want built-in activities and dining for every age
• Serious skiers who want upper-mountain access from the door
• Buyers who value service as much as square footage
