The Dakota Mountain Lodge Opens at $139 a Night With a Surprisingly Useful Resort Fee
A suite at the Dakota Mountain Lodge.
The Waldorf-Astoria Collection has been snapping up and renovating properties left and right but now the first new hotel has opened, The Dakota Mountain Lodge in super swanky Park City, Utah. Detes on the guestrooms come courtesy of the press release we just got:
Guestrooms are finished with custom designed furniture, natural colors and rich interiors to create a casual yet sophisticated retreat. Available in king or queen rooms, each room is designed with a gas fireplace, 42” HDTV, spacious bath with jetted tubs and/or steam showers, and private patio or balcony. Suites are one-to-four-bedroom, some loft style, and feature large gourmet kitchens with stainless steel appliances and granite countertop.
We headed over to the hotel website right quick and sadly saw that the website was sort of malfunctioning. (It's now working properly.) Thus we called the reservations line at 1-866-279-0843 and the reservations agent gave us a quote of $139 a night for a king bedroom tonight. There's also a $25 resort fee, but this one actually seems to give you something for your money. It includes in-room internet access, free coffee and tea in-room, access to the Golden Door Spa fitness center and group fitness classes, complimentary parking and complimentary ski and golf valet service.
Beyond the standard guestrooms, deluxe bedroom suites were going for $159 a night next weekend (these include kitchenettes) as were one-bedroom suites with kitchens and full-sized sofa beds for $179 a night.
Despite the resort fee, those are still great rates for Park City, especially the one-bedroom suite. However, when Sundance Film Festival rolls into town expect these to go for MUCH much more.
The hotel also has a 16,000-square-foot Golden Door Spa; the first outpost of award-winning San Fran restaurant, Spruce; access to the Frostwood Gondola in The Canyons ski resort and of course, ski-in, ski-out privileges. If you stay there and love it so much you want to buy a residence there, those range from $400,000 for a studio suite to a $2 million four-bed, four-bath suite.
We first reported that this hotel would be opening back in February of 2008, so it's nice to see the property actually opening. Now all we need to do is get ourselves out to Utah!
