I would say the Montage is the best. We are about to go for our fourth stay there and it seems to get better and better. The hard product is outstanding and the service and food have improved with every visit.
The location for skiing is great as there are three lifts right out the back door. In fact, I would say this might be the top ski hotel in the US right now.

I personally prefer Montage. It's more intimate and has better service but more isolated and bit distant from town.
St Regis is located better and the cable car is very interesting but definitely not as personal as Montage.

My vote goes to Stein Eriksen. Careful booking the Montage. They have many 'parking lot' and 'dumpster' view rooms. They are clever at using the Vituoso upgrade to put you into one of these stinkers.

I also don't think there's any hotel in Park City/Deer Valley that's on the same level as FS Vail or The Little Nell
Btw just curious, has anybody stayed with Washington School House?

I will be staying at the St Regis next month so I will get back to you after. The Regis makes it a little easier to get to Park city's main street area and, since Montage is mid mountain you are a bit more isolated.
And under the for what its worth category... Conde Nast lists the STR at #7 and Montage at #13 of best ski resorts hotels. Hard to go wrong with either. Stay at one this year and then stay at the other next year!

I guess I have been fortunate to never get the lovely dumpster view.

Quite some time for this thread, but wondering if anyone has an update. I usually stay at the Waldorf during ski season because the variety of rooms and types for upgrades are best there in season.
Headed there this time of year, which is likely to have better service, rooms, etc. Booking Virtuoso and looking at Montage or Saint Regis.
Thoughts?

We were at the Montage exactly one year ago this week, and we had a great time. It was nice and quiet because it was off season, but we found that meant that we got a lot of attention from the staff, no problem getting into restaurants, etc. I can't compare to St. Regis because I haven't stayed there, but I would personally not hesitate to return to Montage in September.

I cannot answer your question directly, but I can say that based on the locations of the two hotels, the St. Regis has a much livelier apres-ski scene. We were there over MLK weekend last year and it was packed. It was a lot of fun, and theyhad a lot of fun treats (smores, hot chocolates, champagne sabring, etc), but the Montage was certainly more low-key. I would imagine during high-season times, service overall would probably be better at the Montage just because you will have fewer people like us who are staying in homes but coming for apres

Stein Erickson for me. Love the ski in and out, help with boots, putting on equipment, etc. nice views to be had in many rooms. I must say we have been going for years and never tried the others as we are very happy here! So I really can't compare but can tell you we have always had excellent stays.
