There's a new hotel opening in Park City later this month but with only 12 guest rooms in the middle of downtown, you can forget about booking it for the Sundance. That said, when the ski season and film festival fervor dies down a bit, the Washington School House will be a cool place to stay.

The hotel is, as its name implies, one of the last original school houses in the United States, originally built in 1889 with quarried limestone. It's even listed on the National Historic Registry. Yet approval was given for a hotel to be created within its original structure and the result is 12 shishi guestrooms with crisp white Pratesi linens on the beds, fancy antique furniture and heated bathroom floors.

Now is Probably a Good Time to Book Your Hotel Room for Sundance

November 7, 2011 at 2:38 PM | by | Comments (0)

Usually, we aren't talking hotels for the Sundance Film Festival until Santa Claus has made his way down the chimney but we realized now might actually be a good time to book your hotel room.

The festival is happening this year from January 19-29 as always in Park City, Utah. The festival's website is encouraging guests to book through their site and save up to 25 percent off on lodging. The festival is also offering a Best Rate Guarantee meaning if you see a better rate, they promise to match it. And if you book through them, they will give you two free movie vouchers with each room booking.

So what's on offer?

Checking rooms for January 19-25, we found some really good options. There was the Yarrow Resort (one mile from Main Street), a popular spot for after parties and meetings and such, at $489 a night. The Sky Lodge on Main Street was open too but at an eye-watering $1,700 a night. That's because it's the official hotel of the festival. But hey, availability is availability right? And we can't forget about their waterfall bathtubs.

It seems like only yesterday we were granted a three-day holiday respite thanks to Easter, and now it's almost Memorial Day weekend. That means two things: summer is almost here and it's a prime time to score a travel deal. While you'll have to wait for the former, we've helped you out with the latter by scouring for some good hotel deals that will entice you to get away.

Check out our top four Memorial Day deals after the jump.

Six Last-Minute Ski Hotels That You Can Actually Afford

February 8, 2011 at 10:35 AM | by | Comments (0)

Lake Tahoe last week, from the Hyatt Regency

The ultimate ski weekend of the year is almost upon us, with Presidents' Day fast approaching on February 21. And while the slopes are almost always packed—and some hotels we checked are already fully booked—we managed to find a few deals still floating around.

Ski.com reports that Park City, Utah's Courchevel, part of Deer Valley, has rooms discounted from the usual $325 to $260 when you book at least four nights. The Best Western Landmark Inn in Park City has rooms for the weekend for under $200 with a non-refundable internet booking rate. And Park City Crash Pads, an achingly hip management company that's putting hotel-style branding on area rentals, has rooms for as low as $109 a night.

The Golden Eagle Resort in Stowe, Vermont has rooms for $199 over the holiday. Killington's Greenbrier Inn has rooms for $156 a night while the Snowed Inn (ha) is at $192 a night for the long weekend.

Ski Bunnies, Pack Your Mink Booties Because The Montage Deer Valley Opens Today

Lookie here! A hotel that opened earlier than expected!

Christmas came early for those of you looking to getaway to Park City as the Montage Deer Valley opens today. Previously, the hotel was expected to open on December 15..

Rates are still very high at $695 a night for this weekend but we've noticed this rate is a special Montage Memories rate which aside from a room includes breakfast daily for two (a $50 credit) and nightly valet parking. Not keen on making Montage Memories? You can opt for the regular rate of $675 a night but that would be foolish as the Memories rate is a better deal.

And yes, the hotel is still sold-out for Sundance.

Well it's a Montage Hotel, did you really expect lower room rates?

The Montage Deer Valley has stayed true to its December 2010 opening date and in hitting up the hotel's website today we see that the luxury ski resort in Park City will open on December 15 with rooms starting at $675 a night for a Resort king or two queens.

Prices go up from there but only the view changes as all of the standard rooms start at a generous 600sq.ft. with separate sitting areas, gas fireplaces, deep soaking tubs in the bath and heated floors. A Vista room gives you views of the resort grounds and mountains for $755 a night while the Peak rooms give you panoramic views of the ski slope or valleys for $835 a night.

But once you enter the suite category, that's when the rooms jump to a whopping 1,050-1,200sq.ft. with living and dining areas, fireplaces and 1.75 baths. Those start at $995 a night on December 15.

The Sky Lodge's Bar To Star As Another Bar at Sundance this Sunday

Imagine this room is gold, and that the guy at the bar is Orlando Bloom.

So, Sundance started today. If you’re a movie buff, stalker, fashion publicist, or a member of the paparazzi, you probably knew that. If you don’t happen to be au fait with the Sundance tradition of screenings, glam ski gear, swag, and parties, let us fill you in: it’s all pretence. Even the parties are playing make believe this year. Case in point, Sunday night’s “Funday” party at Park City’s Sky Lodge.

The Sundance Film Festival Might Be 'Over' But Rooms Are Sold-Out

January 8, 2010 at 1:51 PM | by | Comments (4)

The "casting couch" at the Dakota Mountain Lodge will cost you close to $1,000 a night during Sundance.

The wise famewhore guru that is Perez Hilton has declared the Sundance Film Festival "over" and the festival that has taken its place is now South by Southwest (SXSW).

Nevertheless, celebs and film makers are still headed to Park City for the festival on January 21st. And we got a request from a reader to find a reasonably priced room for Sundance for two people for the first weekend.

Sadly, we don't have great news. As usual, The Park City Marriott, the festival's official hotel, and the popular Yarrow Hotel, are sold-out. And there are now only two hotels that are listed on the film festival's website as having availability:

· Fox Point at Redstone : Rooms start at a steep $439 a night but if you book a rezzie for four nights or longer, your last night is free (will be credited at check-out.)
· Chateau at Silver Lake: Located in Deer Valley but only a few miles from Main Street, rooms are a hefty $599 a night.

Spoiled Ski Bunnies Will Have to Wait Until 2010 for Montage Deer Valley

One of our favorite vacations ever was the "Saints & Sinners" tour of 2006 when we drove from Central Cali to Las Vegas for two nights of indulgence and debauchery. From there, we drove to its polar opposite destination, Southern Utah, and went off the grid, car-camping for a week. Thankfully, we packed enough vino to overcome Utah’s wackadoodle liquor laws.

In a stroke of genius, the fine state of Utah relaxed ‘em slightly this summer, banning the state’s stupid private member club only system after a 40-year run of complete and utter absurdity.

LDS and liquor laws aside, there are few places in the country as naturally stunning as Utah. So, we soaked up every second of leaf-changing beauty when we were in Park City last weekend. We checked out the hotel scene of course, but we thought it was important to let you know this first: construction is moving along a-okay at the Montage Deer Valley and all signs say "yes" for its December opening. As in December 2010.

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.
