Host- Winter Season
Goldener Hirsch, Auberge Collection is an iconic luxury inn located in legendary Deer Valley, Utah. Designed in the spirit of an Austrian ski chalet, the intimate resort’s mid-mountain location offers direct access to over 200 perfectly groomed ski runs and 4,300 skiable acres as well as warm-weather outdoor pursuits. The 18 newly redesigned rooms and suites, including a Signature Suite that occupies the entire fourth floor, offer old-world charm with wood-burning fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, and arched doorways. Additionally, 40 residences, set in two new modern buildings designed by acclaimed architect Tom Kundig, are outfitted with full-service kitchens, contemporary living spaces, and private balconies.
Resort amenities include a luxurious lobby, adjacent Terrasse, exclusive private dining room, unique venues for private events, and post-adventure wellness amenities such as customized massages in spa suites, a breathtaking rooftop pool, infinity-edge hot tub, and state-of-the-art fitness center. An award-winning restaurant skillfully marries Bavarian specialties with farm-fresh regional fare sourced from local Park City pastures, while the Antler Lounge, a chic gathering spot, comes alive in the evenings with après cocktails and live entertainment.
Founded in 1992, the inn is owned by the philanthropic Eccles family, who have been part of the development of Utah’s ski region since the late 1800s.
