Guests will be able to enjoy world-class dining options, including an après ski bar and grill, a signature bar and restaurant, and a coffee bistro.

“Strategically positioned to meet increasing demand in the Park City resort market, Grand Hyatt Deer Valley is a testament to the deliberate expansion of Hyatt’s luxury brands in sought-after destinations,” said Kimo Bertram, Vice President of Development, Americas. “The Grand Hyatt brand celebrates the iconic in small details and magnificent moments for guests, World of Hyatt members, and customers. Grand Hyatt Deer Valley will deliver on this brand promise by providing a luxurious retreat for group and leisure travelers alike after a day of exploration and taking advantage of all the resort has to offer.”
The hotel’s convenient location within the Deer Valley Resort will provide easy access to the slopes and the resort’s many winter and summer attractions, including various restaurants, retailers, a children’s center, and one of the largest ski beaches in the world – the ideal gathering spot to lounge, soak up the sun and enjoy breathtaking mountain views. The hotel will be part of the planned expansion of Deer Valley Resort that will more than double the resort’s skiable terrain to 5700 acres, expanding the Park City ski area itself into the largest lift serviced ski area in the North & South American Continent. The new Deer Valley Village expansion will feature 16 new ski lifts and a state-of-the-art 10-passenger gondola; such a network of chairlifts will offer efficient access to over 235 ski runs across 10 mountain peaks. Additionally, the hotel will be located a few short minutes' drive from Park City’s historic main street, as well as access to hiking, mountain biking, golf, horseback riding, and various watersports during the summer months.
Expected to open in time for the 2024/2025 ski season, Grand Hyatt Deer Valley will mark another milestone in Hyatt’s intentional growth strategy.
As previously posted Deer Valley Resort announced that it will be amalgamating Extell’s Mayflower Mountain Resort to form one of the largest ski resorts in North America. Deer Valley's expansion now titled 'Deer Valley East Village' had been in negotiations about operating the Mayflower project for the last couple of years. The Deer Valley East Village sector is currently under construction and is adjacent to the existing Deer Valley Resort itself.
Super Developer Extell famed for its Manhattan developments, is behind the project and will continue to build hotels, a range of luxury ski-in-ski-out homes as well as a commercial downtown area that is envisioned to be similar to adjacent Park City’s Historic Main Street. The resort was initially planned to open in 2021/22, but Covid and the grand scope of combining the Mayflower area and Deer Valley under one umbrella have delayed the launch. Now with Deer Valley handling the ski terrain side of things, the new ski area is slated to open in the 2025/26 season. Once completed, the new ski area will add 16 chairlifts, 135 ski runs, and an additional 3700-plus acres of skiable area to the Deer Valley Resort. Like Deer Valley, the Mayflower side will be operated for skiers only. Note: Adj. Park City/Canyons Village allows snowboarding.

Construction Continues on the newly branded 'Grand Hyatt Hotel'
Deer Valley Resort on Monday attached a new name to the planned expansion off U.S. 40, effectively retiring a moniker that harkened back to the Park City area’s silver-mining heritage.
The name is Deer Valley East Village and it refers to the base village that will be developed there as well as the portal to skiing. It is a nod to the eastern locale of the Wasatch County land.
The land had been known as Mayflower for decades. The Mayflower moniker alluded to a historic mine. Park City was founded in the 19th century as a silver-mining camp and mining drove the economy until the middle of the 20th century. There are numerous architectural remnants and references along with places and streets nowadays named after locations that were important in its mining heydays.
The Deer Valley East Village name joins the widely used Silver Lake Village moniker for the mid-mountain development at the resort. The Snow Park base, meanwhile, is sometimes called Snow Park Village. A major development is planned at the Snow Park base, with some references to the project using the word “Village” as part of the name.
There have been efforts to rebrand places over the years in the Park City area with varying degrees of success. City Hall has largely removed the Osguthorpe name from the iconic white barn and open space along the S.R. 224 entryway, replacing it with the historic name of McPolin...
...Park City Mountain, meanwhile, has largely succeeded in recent years in dropping the word “Resort” from the end of the name, as well as moving away from the abbreviated “PCMR” that was widely used in referring to the resort, particularly locally, starting in the 1990s.
Deer Valley revealed the name of the expansion in the months after the announcement of an agreement that brought the terrain into the resort. The ground prior to the agreement was expected to be developed as a standalone resort next to Deer Valley. The standalone resort had previously been referred to as Mayflower Mountain Resort.
Deer Valley owner Alterra Mountain Company and Extell Development Company, the developer of the base that will be at Deer Valley East Village, negotiated a long-term operations agreement that folded the terrain into Deer Valley. The land will boost Deer Valley’s terrain by 3,700-plus acres and bring the total acreage at the resort to 5,726. The first lifts and trails at Deer Valley East Village are expected to open for the 2025-2026 ski season. There will also be skier services, retailers, and dining at Deer Valley East Village.
The development benefitted from the Military Installation Development Authority involved. The authority is a state economic development entity designed to advance projects with a military component. There will be a hotel developed within the project for the benefit of military members.

Extell looks to Thanksgiving for soft opening of Deer Valley Grand Hyatt
David Jackson for the Park Record - Full Article @ https://www.parkrecord.com/news/exte...y-grand-hyatt/
The nearly 400-room luxury Grand Hyatt hotel overlooking the Utah Military Installation Development Authority’s project area next to the Jordanelle Reservoir will probably be ready for guests this fall, according to Extell Development's Resort Development Vice President Kurt Krieg...
...“All the subcontractors have made great headway this winter on the Grand Hyatt Deer Valley,” he said. “You’ll really start to see it come to life, as substantial completion is slated for early September.”...
...Further preparations, Krieg said, have taken place in conjunction with MIDA staff members to keep the military up to speed “as that’s a major part of this project and moving forward at opening.”
Since the beginning of the hotel’s development, 100 of its nearly 400 rooms will be reserved with reduced rates for military members who otherwise would likely find it difficult to afford a vacation spot in an area with so many recreational opportunities.
On the less rate-reduced side of things, Krieg said Sotheby’s International Realty — the company that’s acted as the hotel’s broker — has contracted out 49 of the building’s 55 condos that “sit on top of the hotel itself.”
The primary focus, he added, remains opening in time for next ski season.

Krieg also talked about how Extell is beginning to shift its focus to an additional 660 units of workforce housing.
“We are on track to provide a site plan to MIDA by July, which is part of the interlocal, and proceed forward on that,” he said.
He also referred to the board’s closed session immediately following the public portion of the meeting, which he said would be about Building D of the project area’s recently approved Pioche Hotel, which he said the development company “hopes is a public-private partnership to further workforce housing in the region.”
