About the Grand Hyatt Deer Valley: Built for the Military—A First-of-Its-Kind Resort

This is the first-ever public-private military hotel. The development of the MWR hotel has been in the works for two decades. In the late 1990s, a small military MWR ski lodge near Snowbasin Resort in Huntsville, Utah, closed in preparation for the 2002 Winter Olympics. In 2001, Congress passed legislation granting a federally-owned, 26-acre parcel in Park City, Utah, to the Air Force, on which to either construct a new MWR facility or trade for other property of equal value. The Grand Hyatt Deer Valley was developed through a unique public-private partnership led by Utah’s Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA) in collaboration with Extell Development Company of New York. 

Unlike traditional military resorts that are exclusive to military guests, the Grand Hyatt is open to the public—but only eligible military guests can access exclusive, heavily discounted rates through the Salute to Service program. 

During peak ski season, nightly rates for the general public can range from $750 to $2,750, but eligible military members and families can book one of the 100 designated  military rooms (out of 387 total) at a fraction of the cost.

Room rates through the Salute to Service program are based on availability, rank, and travel dates, and are subject to change. Some dates may be more expensive than others, depending on demand and eligibility tier.
