First look
Four Seasons Resort and Residences Deer Valley is a ski-in/ski-out project in the resort’s East Village, developed with Extell, with sources placing the opening across 2027 or 2028. Ski-in/ski-out is the core promise in this market, and the East Village location ties the resort to one of the bigger recent expansions of Deer Valley’s terrain. The combined resort-and-residences model is standard for North American mountain properties.
What we’ll be watching
Whether the ski-in/ski-out claim holds up across the whole property. The East Village base sits about 850 feet lower than Deer Valley’s established Snow Park base, and the area draws noticeably less natural snow — the resort has invested heavily in snowmaking to compensate, but manufactured snow and a marginal-conditions base are not what a Four Seasons rate buys in most people’s minds. We’ll be watching whether the access is genuinely seamless or only from select buildings.
Whether 134 rooms in a resort-and-residences complex feels like a hotel. Extell is pairing the Four Seasons with 123 private residences in adjacent buildings — that’s nearly as many owners as guests, and on-mountain residence projects can blur service priorities. We’ll be watching whether the hotel side gets a dedicated identity or just shares amenities with the owners.
Whether four unnamed dining venues find an audience. The brand press mentions four outlets and a ski-lounge terrace but hasn’t announced a single concept, chef, or name — which at this stage either means the program is still being designed or there’s nothing yet worth leading with. Deer Valley attracts a destination-dining crowd; generic mountain fare won’t cut it here.
Whether the timeline firms up before the 2027/2028 ski season. Construction loans were secured in mid-2025 and completion is reported as 2028, but no official opening date has been set — and a ski resort that misses its season opener by even a month loses a full year of peak revenue. We’ll be watching for an official date announcement, which hasn’t come.

Before it opens
When does Four Seasons Resort and Residences Deer Valley open?
No official opening date has been set. Construction began in spring 2025 following a $600 million construction loan, and completion is reported as 2028 — consistent with the 2027 or 2028 estimate that has circulated since the announcement. Given that no date has been confirmed and ski resorts are hostage to seasonal windows, treat any year as tentative until Four Seasons says otherwise.
Where is Four Seasons Resort and Residences Deer Valley located?
It’s being built at the base of Deer Valley’s East Village in Park City, Utah — part of a 3,700-acre terrain expansion that is the first new ski village developed from scratch in North America in over forty years. The site is about 40 minutes from Salt Lake City International Airport.
Is this Four Seasons’ first hotel in Deer Valley, and who is developing it?
Yes — this will be Four Seasons’ first property in Deer Valley specifically, and its third ski resort in the United States after Jackson Hole and Vail. The developer is Extell Development Company, which is also behind the private residences component. ODA Architecture is handling the architecture, interiors, and landscape design.
How many rooms will it have?
The resort is planned to have 134 guest rooms and suites, plus 123 private residences ranging from one to six bedrooms across 1,200 to 7,000 square feet. Fifty-five of the residences sit above the hotel with direct ski-in/ski-out access; a separate adjacent building holds 68 owner-exclusive units.
What restaurants and facilities are planned?
Four dining outlets are planned, including a ski-in/ski-out lounge with an outdoor terrace and fireplace — though no restaurant names or chefs have been announced. The wellness offer includes a full-service spa with a hammam, vitality pool, sauna, steam room, and cold plunge, plus an 11,000 square foot indoor/outdoor pool deck with two pools and a pool bar. There will also be an ice rink, indoor sports courts, a grand ballroom, and event spaces.
Will Fat Voyage score Four Seasons Resort and Residences Deer Valley?
We publish a Fat Score only once a hotel is open and real guests have stayed and written about it — drawn from luxury travel communities, editorial publications, and verified guests, never paid placements. This is a first look, not a verdict; we’ll score it once there’s enough independent signal to be fair.
