The hype
Reviewers are obsessed with the modern design and the rooftop pool, calling it a 'game changer' for Canyons Village.
Pendry Park City
$700-2000+/ night
Book this if You want the closest thing to a 'W Hotel' vibe in Utah—modern design, rooftop pool scenes, and ski-in/ski-out access that doesn't require a shuttle.
Why People Love It
- True ski-in/ski-out access via the Sunrise Gondola just steps from the ski valet
- The only rooftop pool and bar in Canyons Village (heated year-round)
- Rooms feel like high-end California condos, not dark log cabins
Quick Take: It’s a stunning, expensive scene where you pay for the 'cool factor' and proximity to the lift, but the service can sometimes feel like it's still working out the kinks.
Reviewed by @theboutiqueadventurer: I spent a weekend at Pendry Park City and it was pure luxury. The rooftop pool is the perfect hang-out spot, and my suite was incredibly spacious. Definitely grab dinner at KITA—the sushi and miso halibut were the highlights of my trip!

Before you book
Good to know
- The hotel is in Canyons Village, which is a 10-15 minute drive from Main Street Park City (shuttle available)
- Ski valet is excellent but can get bottlenecked at peak morning hours (8:30-9:30 AM)
- There is a 9% occupancy fee plus taxes added to your bill, so the list price is just the starting line
What to pack
- Swimsuit (the rooftop pool is the place to be, even in winter)
- Smart casual après wear (it's a 'see and be seen' vibe, not just sweatpants)
Room Genie
Best picks
- Peak View King (upper floors) for mountain views and less plaza noise
- Residence units if you need a kitchen and laundry (great for families)
Rooms to avoid
- Lower-floor 'Resort View' rooms if you are sensitive to noise (they face the active plaza)
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I would love a room on a higher floor facing the mountains (Peak View) to avoid the noise from the plaza and pool deck. If possible, away from the elevator bank.”

Insider Tips
- ✨
The 'Resort View' rooms often look directly at other buildings/plaza; pay the upgrade for 'Peak View' if you want to see mountains.
- ✨
Compass Sports (the on-site outfitter) rents gear, so you don't need to haul yours from town.
- ✨
If Disco Pizza is closed, the 'Pool House' bar often has a more casual menu than Kita.
5 things to know before you go
💡The 'resort fee' isn't always a flat rate; it can appear as a hefty 'Occupancy Fee' percentage on your bill.
💡The walk between the three buildings can be confusing; use the sky bridge on the 2nd floor to stay warm.
💡The rooftop pool is smaller than it looks in photos and chairs go fast on sunny days.
💡You can order room service for your dog (yes, really).
💡The 'ski beach' plaza area is public, so it gets busy with non-guests during après.
