Hilton plans Waldorf Astoria for Utah's Deer Valley East Village

New York-based Extell Development Company and Hilton have signed a deal to open the Waldorf Astoria Deer Valley Resort and Residences in Utah. Expected to debut in 2028, the ski-in, ski-out resort will be part of the Deer Valley East Village, reportedly the first major public alpine ski resort to be developed in North America in over 40 years. Construction on the site began in May.

Adjacent to Deer Valley’s newly established longest ski run, the Green Monster, Waldorf Astoria Deer Valley Resort and Residences will have 132 rooms and 105 one-to six-bedroom branded residences available for purchase ranging from 1,099 to 5,155 square feet across two towers. The property also will have 56 hotel residences above the hotel and 49 private residences in the standalone Waldorf Astoria Residences Deer Valley tower.

Architectural design of the property is led by Kohn Pedersen Fox, and the interior design of the project is led by AvroKO.

“The signing of Waldorf Astoria Deer Valley Resort and Residences marks a major milestone in Hilton’s growing luxury portfolio across the Americas,” Kara Randall, vice president, North America luxury and mixed-use development, Hilton, said in a statement. “We’re proud to partner with visionary owners to introduce this ski-in, ski-out resort to Deer Valley East Village, complementing the upcoming Canopy by Hilton at Deer Valley, which is expected to open this year. This Waldorf Astoria resort will further enhance Hilton’s diverse offerings in Utah, where more than 70 properties are already welcoming travelers.”

Amenities at the resort will include a 15,000-square-foot spa with treatment rooms, thermal features and a snow room; fitness centers; ski valet and concierge services; a golf simulator; a kid’s room; a resident’s pool deck along the Green Monster; an indoor lap pool; and an outdoor pool and hot tub cantilevered over the ski run below. The property will also have multiple restaurants, bars, and lounges, including Waldorf Astoria’s signature Peacock Alley; 11,300 square feet of meeting and event space including a 5,200 square foot ballroom; resident lounges; and a demonstration kitchen. 

Waldorf Astoria Deer Valley Resort and Residences marks the second Hilton property announced for the East Village development. A Canopy by Hilton hotel, overlooking the Jordanelle Reservoir and Deer Valley Resort, and located steps from the Jordanelle Express Gondola, is set to open this summer.
