"Luxury ranch living in the mountains"

AT A GLANCE: The Lodge at Blue Sky combines unbeatable views with otherworldly comfort. Located just outside Park City, Utah, framed by mountains, the ranch hotel with its 46 rooms is well and truly a retreat with a full spa offering unique treatments, two pools, and numerous other options for mind and body. With a great restaurant offering refined mountain fare, this is one place you will not want to leave. The lodge is also accessible, children and pet-friendly, making it an ideal getaway for solo travelers and families alike.

Highs & Lows

  • Vast property and incredible landscape to explore in all seasons. You will find something to do outside throughout the entire year at The Lodge at Blue Sky

  • There's an adventure available for everybody: clay shooting, mountain biking, horseback riding, hiking, archery, wine tasting, axe throwing, yoga, etc.

  • Great location for winter sports! In close proximity to all main Park City resorts for skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, and even heli-skiing

  • Wellness amenities: The spa offers treatments that are locally inspired and feature products that utilize natural, bloom-to-bottle ingredients. There are mindfulness experiences: outdoor yoga, guided meditation, and vertical vinyasa/aerial yoga, which uses large swaths of silk suspended from tree branches in a secluded forest

  • An existing partnership with Mercedes Benz gives you access to luxury vehicles you can borrow to drive around town. I took the G-wagon out for a spin

  • Great social purpose and environmental initiatives: no single-use plastics, locally sourced bath products, in-house water treatment facility, female-led organic farm, and even an equine healing foundation and sanctuary

  • It's pricey, so not accessible to most

    All the stone used to build The Lodge at Blue Sky comes from a stone quarry several miles down the road from the property. This hyper-local and environmental focus extends to the property’s forgoing of single-use plastics and wastewater treatment facility. The hotel also has its own organic farm, Gracie’s Farm, which is a female-led “no-till” farm that supplies the restaurant and beyond with vegetables, herbs, wildflowers, and honey. The 46 rooms and suites are built into the natural landscape, leading to a feeling of total immersion in nature, but feature high-end comforts and amenities such as fireplaces, floor-to-ceiling windows, soaking tubs, and rain showers
