Our favourite rooms
Practicality rules at Pendry Park City, where residences and townhouses with cool-hued contemporary decor, kitchens or kitchenettes, and up to four bedrooms make up the majority of room options across three buildings (linked by a sky bridge). Sleeping arrangements are spelt out in room titles and which you select will be dictated by needs (with king rooms, double doubles and bunk rooms all in the mix); opt for a Peak View to secure superior mountain scenes. The Founder’s Residence, which can be booked with two or four bedrooms, is king of suites, with an open-plan layout that lends itself to entertaining and comes with a broad sun-terrace.
Poolside
The hotel’s heated rooftop pool, with a backdrop of Wasatch mountain peaks, is Park City’s only alfresco, sky-high swimming spot. The mosaic-tiled pool is divided in two – a hot tub with step-entry at one end, with a separate swimming pool at the other. It’s open from 8am until 10pm and is beside the Pool House bar and restaurant, which has outdoor tables and comes into its own in summer for leisurely dining outdoors.
Spa
The hotel’s muted, modern decor extends to Pendry Spa; kick back in the spa lounge, where partitioned seating with footstools sets the scene for relaxation: there are six private rooms for customised face and body therapies, including couple’s treatments; we like the idea of adding warm river stones to our massage order… A long, narrow room of banquet-hall proportions houses an impressive fitness center, kitted out with treadmills, cross-trainers and Peloton bikes, plus all the free weights your muscles can handle.
Packing tips
Daytime threads revolve around the great outdoors here: ski gear and thermals in winter; hiking and biking kit and country-casual attire once the snow has left town.
Also
Pendry Park City’s concierge team can help with kit hire, snowsports lessons, and an impressive line-up of trips, from flying down to Moab for a day hike, to hiring a soft-top and driving through the Rocky-Mountains scenery.
Pet‐friendly
Pets are welcome: up to two dogs are allowed in each room for a one-off fee of $100. See more pet-friendly hotels in Park City.
Children
Interconnecting room options and family-friendly residences mean that Pendry Park City is well set-up for little Smiths, with a kids’ club providing daytime entertainment for children aged five to 12.
Best for
Over-fives are best placed to join in the fun at Pinwheel Kids’ Club and enjoy the mountains in winter.
Recommended rooms
Any of the Double Doubles are good-value options; for space to lounge and a kitchen, opt for a two-bedroom residence. Townhouses have a kids’ bedroom upstairs, giving adults the run of the first floor with a master bedroom off the living room.
Crèche
Pinwheel Kids’ Club is for five- to 12-year-olds and operates in a dedicated space with planned activities run by childcare professionals. Arts and crafts, indoor games and outdoor play are all on the menu; book (you’ll need to) for morning or afternoon sessions (from $105) or both; a ‘kid’s night out’ option on Friday or Saturday night includes dinner and runs from 4pm until 8pm.
Activities
Skiing, snowboarding, sledding, snowshoeing; fly-fishing, mountain biking, zip-lining, taking the mountain coaster or luge run – outdoorsy adventures come in many guises at this family-friendly resort.
Swimming pool
Children are welcome at the rooftop pool, but there’s no lifeguard and they must be accompanied and supervised.
Meals
Disco Pizza is likely to be your children’s first choice: the friendliest of family diners, it comes with an Etch-a-Sketch at the table and the option to use the at-table games console (we won’t tell if you don’t). Après Pendry has a good all-day kids menu, too.
Babysitting
Pinwheel Kids’ Club has you covered, but for little Smiths outside the age range, you’ll need to stick to family time or make your own arrangements.

Congratulate yourself on your family-friendly location in Canyons: near the slopes, check; on the quieter side of town, check; choice of restaurants your kids will love, check.
