I'm not sure who pays it, but those suites regularly sell for $2K-4K+ during ski season and the furnishings are pretty rough for a luxury property. I'd put those well below the Hyatt Centric Park City and nothing compared to suites at the St. Regis Deer Valley or nearby Ritz. I don't know that I've ever seen the Park Hyatt residences available during ski season, but assuming they would sell for even more.
I've been hoping for a huge renovation at this hotel for a long time, but prices are higher than ever so I'm guessing there's not much motivation to do anything significant with the rooms.
Agreed the rooms need a refresh, I think they keep the cash prices high since this place has tons of point redemptions to be honest with you. That Jack Scott Suite goes for well over 5k per night during the week of Christmas and New Years. I wouldn't pay anywhere near that much per night but all their large suites are sold out during those weeks every year so people do. You are paying primarily for the outstanding location of the property, which is much better than the Ritz down the road or the St Regis Deer Valley for that matter. The St Regis has a crappy set up/location in my opinion as well verses the prime location of the Stein Eriksen Lodge that could use a refresh too.
With all that being said, I've stayed at the Hyatt Centric in Park City 4 or 5 times in large 1 bedroom suites. Price aside I'd take this stay in the Jack Scott Suite anytime over the HC not because I like this room better but because of Park Hyatt's superior location on a relative basis.
I have never seen the Residences available over Christmas or New Years. They had that week for sale during our stay which is week 52, it was a 2 bedroom and had an asking price of 500k for that week. Good luck with that!
