PARK CITY, Utah — New York-based Extell Development Company, a full service national real estate developer of residential, commercial and hospitality properties, and leading global hospitality company, Hilton (NYSE: HLT), today announced the signing of an agreement for a new-build Canopy by Hilton hotel at Deer Valley East Village - North America’s first luxury alpine village to be developed since 1981. With an opening slated for summer of 2026, the new 180-key hotel will mark the Canopy by Hilton brand’s first hotel in Utah.
Overlooking the Jordanelle Reservoir and Deer Valley Resort, and situated steps from the Jordanelle Express Gondola, Canopy by Hilton at Deer Valley promises effortless ski access during the season as well as a cozy atmosphere, a lively apres-ski experience, and access to a host of restaurants.
“Deer Valley East Village has been a long-anticipated project that is sure to attract brands, retailers, visitors and residents from around the world, and the addition of Canopy to the Village further enhances our vision of bringing world-renowned brands and experiences to the resort,” said Gary Barnett, Founder and Chairman of Extell Development Company. “With a variety of residential ownership opportunities, exceptional hospitality, world-class amenities, and an array of retail, dining, and entertainment experiences, Deer Valley East Village—with the addition of this new hotel—will further cement its status as the crown jewel of Utah.”
The hotel design features architecture by The Richardson Design Partnership and interior design by DLR/Brayton Hughes. In keeping with the brand’s emphasis on providing authentically local experiences, Canopy at Deer Valley will embrace a unique aesthetic that intertwines the rich tradition of Park City’s silver mining past with its history as a burgeoning ski destination in the early 1960’s. Embracing the dynamic beauty of its natural surroundings, the hotel design draws inspiration from the evolving landscape, and reflects the transition from a historic mining town to a premier international ski destination.
“With over 40 properties welcoming guests around the globe and another 40 in various stages of development, Canopy boasts impressive growth, and the signing of Canopy at Deer Valley builds upon that momentum,” said Matt Wehling, senior vice president of development, Hilton. “As part of Hilton’s rapidly expanding Lifestyle portfolio that’s set to double in just a few years, Canopy continues to celebrate development milestones. Last year, the brand opened its first resort property with Canopy Seychelles, debuted in Japan with Canopy Osaka Umeda, and now, plans to welcome its first ski destination hotel.”
To complement the unparalleled access to year-round recreational activities, the hotel will offer a curated suite of on-site amenities including a pool and hot tub, steam room and sauna, fitness center and golf simulator. There will also be a dedicated ski reception lobby and ski locker room, meeting and conference facilities, as well as two levels of underground parking accommodating 176 stalls.
Canopy at Deer Valley will offer a robust food and beverage selection spanning over 9,600 square feet, including a signature destination restaurant, an apres-ski lounge, a grab & go coffee shop, and a rooftop lounge with gorgeous mountain views. With its extensive food and beverage offering, Canopy at Deer Valley will also serve as a centerpiece of the surrounding neighborhood, including Extell’s recently completed 402-unit Pioche Village Condominiums directly next door.
Situated 40 minutes from Salt Lake City International Airport, Deer Valley East Village provides a new portal into Deer Valley featuring hotels, private residences ranging from estate lots to luxury condominiums, up to 250,000 square feet of retail and commercial space, a world-class recreation complex, a ski beach, and various winter and summer amenities. Deer Valley’s long-awaited expansion will culminate in the 2025/2026 ski season when the resort will double the size of its current skiable terrain, adding 10 new chairlifts and 100 new ski runs. Upon completion, Deer Valley will boast over 5,726 acres of skiable terrain served by 37 chairlifts across 238 runs, securing its position as one of the largest ski resorts in North America. The new Deer Valley East Village portal will seamlessly connect visitors to this expanded terrain, offering an unparalleled mountain experience.
