Ski Hotels 2008: Park City's Most Convenient

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: 255 Main St. [map], Park City, UT, United States, 84060
February 8, 2008 at 2:41 PM | by pbb | 0 Comments

When we went out to Park City, Utah last month, we crashed at The Yarrow Hotel. But if we were looking to do a ski vacation rather than a Sundance trip, the Treasure Mountain Inn would be our pick.

The green hotel's studio units offer up condo-like amenities--balcony, kitchens, separate seating area--right in the heart of town. To get to Park City Mountain Resort, it's an easy walk downhill to the Town Lift which will haul you right up to the slopes.

If the apres is just as important to you as the ski, Treasure Mountain is ideally situated on Main Street. You're basically across the street from the Wasatch Brew Pub, and more bars and music venues are just down the street.

Hotel Video Tours: The Yarrow Hotel

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: 1800 Park Ave. [map], Park City, UT, United States, 84060

We were just out in Park City, trying our hand at celeb spotting during Sundance. Oh, and there were some films on, too. Rooms were tight all over town, but we managed to score a basic double at the Yarrow Hotel.

On first glance room 148 didn't impress us too much. In fact, it sort of reminded us of a suburban Comfort Inn. But it was pretty big and there was a large minifridge in the room, which is key for a ski town hotel.

Last-Minute Room for Sundance Film Festival

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: 780 Main Street [map], Park City, UT, United States, 84060
January 21, 2008 at 9:35 AM | by juliana | 0 Comments

While most of the hot celeb action for Sundance went on over the weekend (and our bro Jaunted was there to cover it all), there are still films being shown throughout this weekend. And we just heard of a last-minute lodging option at the Marriott Summit Watch Hotel.

MaryDean writes to us:

I've got a 1 bedroom suite available at Marriott Summit Watch on Main Street Monday Jan 21st to Friday Jan 25th.

No word on how much but we did notice a few going last week for $600 a night. If you are hard up for a room, send us a line and we'll put you in touch with Mary.

Sundance Hotels: Scouting the Hotel's WiFi Scene

January 16, 2008 at 3:00 PM | by pbb | 0 Comments

Perhaps unsurprisingly, we haven't been to too many raging Sundance hotel parties yet. (The festival officially starts Thursday night.) But there are a couple things worth noting.

First off, the Park City Marriott, above, supposedly has WiFi throughout the lobby. Uh, not so much this morning when we tried to log on. Another person we talked to said she'd also had trouble connecting, too. Not good for festival HQ. That said, the young woman at the coffee cart was super friendly.

Down the road, the Yarrow Resort is still working on turning its ballrooms into a big screening room. From the looks of it, though, things will be squared away by Thursday. The Yarrow's WiFi situation is better than the Marriott's, too. Access in the lobby is free and fairly fast. We'd recommend a seat on the couch by the big fireplace.

Sundance Hotels: Slamdance at Treasure Mountain

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: 255 Main St. [map], Park City, UT, United States, 84060
January 11, 2008 at 2:19 PM | by pbb | 0 Comments

Just because Sundance is the main event out in Park City next week doesn't mean there's nothing else happening. The big alterna-event is Slamdance, which happens at PC's only green hotel, the Treasure Mountain Inn. The event hosts shorts, animations, documentaries and other "truly independent works." Everything's screened at the Mountain Inn, so if you've got a room there, you won't even need to brave the snow to catch a flick.

The 29 films that will be on this year promise to be good ones, as previous years featured work from Christopher Nolan (Batman Begins), Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite) and Marilyn Agrelo (Mad Hot Ballroom).

Getting the buzz this year are Sync or Swim, a doc about synchronized swimming, Woman in Burka, a darkly comic short about Middle Eastern actors, and The Project, a documentary from three first-time filmmakers about inner-city Brooklyn.

Katherine Heigl Gets Married at Stein Eriksen Lodge

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: 7700 Stein Way [map], Park City, UT, United States, 84060
December 26, 2007 at 8:52 AM | by juliana | 0 Comments

After lots of rumors about a Christmastime wedding, Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl got married to musician Josh Kelley at the Stein Eriksen Lodge in Deer Valley, Utah on Dec. 23, according to Us Weekly.

The 30-minute sunset ceremony, which ended shortly after 5 p.m., took place under a giant white tent in front of more than 100 guests, including Grey's costars Sandra Oh, Kate Walsh and Knight.

The heated wedding tent, dramatically lit by blue-and-purple lighting and decorated in large white drapes, was filled with silver chairs covered with white cushions on a white carpet. The couple wed on an altar flanked by brass candleholders.

We hope that Katherine and Josh were able to wrangle special rates at the Lodge for their guests in case they wanted to stay overnight. Peak season rates (now through April) at the hotel start at $805 for a deluxe bedrooms. Since Katherine now makes about $6million per film, in addition to her TV salary, that shouldn't be too hard for her to cough up.

Sundance Festival Goers Wanted at a Park City Marriott Timeshare

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: 1305 Lowell Ave. PO Box 4109 [map], Park City, UT, United States, 84060

Sundance is about a month away but you know how that scene goes, especially when it comes to finding a place to stay.

Fortunately, HotelChatter reader David is giving us a head start on this. He's offering his Park City Marriott timeshare which has two bedrooms, two baths and sleeps 8 people. It's available the week of Jan. 20th.

I saw your posts last year about how hard it is to find a room for the Sundance Festival.  I'm on the other side of the fence - I've got a room, a Marriott 2BR condo, that I'd like to rent out for the week of Jan 20-27, but I can't figure out where to find a renter. I've posted on Craigslist, but with no response.

To view the full Craigslist ad, click here. He's asking for $800 a night with a 3-night minimum stay. Meanwhile, rooms at the hotel part of this Marriott are already sold out. So grab your favorite backstabbing agent friends and celeb groupies and get your pilates-toned behinds to Sundance.

Sundance Film Festival 2007: Roommate Wanted at Prospector Square Lodge

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: 2200 Sidewinder Drive [map], Park City, UT, United States, 84060
January 8, 2007 at 9:00 AM | by juliana | 0 Comments

Last year we gave you the Official Lodging recommendations of the Sundance Festival and we hate to break it to you, but this year is not much different.

As always the real challenge to finding a hotel in Sundance, should you be one of the lucky, connected entertainment folk to go there, is finding a reasonably priced hotel room. Actually, the real challenge is finding a hotel room period.

Well, we here at HotelChatter put our internet monkeys to work looking for hotel rooms so you don't have to. Our first finding was this little ditty posted on a Bay Area Filmmakers site:

Looking for 1 female roommate to share my hotel room at the prospector lodge, right on free shuttle line, close to all venues & theaters. 2 beds. second week of the festival, january 23rd to 28th. $580 for the 5 nights, taxes incl.

So all you ladies out there, the Prospector Lodge is really the Prospector Square Lodging and Conference Center and its hotel rooms have pretty basic amenities like cable TV, shower, coffee maker, and a radio/alarm clock.

Yet reviews on the place are mixed, partly because the hotel has different management companies for different types of rooms. (See Management response on TripAdvisor here). And sharing a room with a gal you just met might be awkward since the rooms are tiny. But hopefully, you will meet some rich producer and spend the night at his house, right?
