THE SKY LODGE' S Penthouse (kitchen shown) encompasses 2,800 square feet of indoor space and 2,900 square feet outside. top-floor, three-bedroom Penthouse. The 2,800-square-foot expanse is barely outsized by its 2,900-square-foot terrace, which is outfitted with two hot tubs and outdoor fireplaces. If the Penthouse is booked, choose any of the hotel' s upper-floor suites facing the ski areas. Rooms 403, 405 and 507 afford the best views overall. Three-bedroom suites feature two master bedrooms, private decks with hot tubs, full kitchens and multiple fireplaces. Note: While exploring the adjacent shopping gallery we noticed that some of The Sky Lodge' s balconies di- rectly overlook a major pedestrian throughway, so if guests prefer to soak in silence and out of view, request a room that faces away from the busy street. And although we felt like high-rollers in our own suiteÐ its living room was outfitted with a stylish black-felt pool tableÐ we discovered that a set of stairs leading to an upperlevel connecting room served as a conductor for the shouts, squeals and giggles of our neighbors' young kids. Ensure your kid-free clients' stay is undisturbed by asking for a more solitary suite. Front Office Manager Graham Dougherty (gdaugherty@theskylodge.com) will make sure your clients are paired with the perfect accommodations. To ensure your clients are ready to take to the slopes, The Sky Lodge' s in-house ski butler service will arrange on-site fittings and tunings, provide lift tickets and store guests' gear in a complimentary locker room. Contact Chief Concierge Patti Rea (prea@ theskylodge.com; 435-658-2500). Luxury travel advisors also may contact General Manager Steve Koerselman (skoerselman@thesky lodge.com; 435-658-9400). A FUNKY FIREPLACE adds extra warmth to suites at The Sky Lodge. Secure one of six treatment rooms at the Lodge' s 4,500square-foot Amatsu spa, which Spa Director Kathleen Hahn (khahn@theskylodge.com; 435658-2500) oversees. Staff suggest booking treatments one month in advance, and say that the bamboo massage is a popular choice. Request Jessica for the signature Japan treatment, which uses a red flower exfoliating scrub and involves multiple steps, culminating with a soak in the Ofuro tub. Tip: The spa was designed with private groups in mind; changing rooms can be converted to ª unisex,º and cocktails and lunch services can be arranged. Park City' s skiing and spa-ing visitors are bound to drum up an appetite, and The Sky Lodge' s signature restaurant, Fin, is the perfect place to refuel. At Fin, which specializes in fresh seafood, suggest clients try the bouillabaisse; at Easy Street Brassiere, the popular ª sliderº menu, which includes portobello and ahi tuna burgers. Ask Director of Restaurants Clint Fowler (cfowler@theskylodge.com; 435-658-2500) to make sure your Gen-Y jetsetter gets the best seat in the house. We suggest taking advantage of The Sky Lodge' s convenient location by exploring the area' s excellent restaurants.
