Luxury Travel Advisor - September 2007 - (Page 42) HOTEL PARK CITY’s heated outdoor pool offers views of the Park City Golf Course and Park City Mountain Resort (left); Executive Suites are kept cozy with working fireplaces (below). include Da Vinci, where upscale Italian fare and fine wines will satisfy the palates of seasoned gourmands, and Milano, which has a more casual, continental menu. We recommend Bacco’s lounge for an after-dinner night- cap—there, guests are treated to live jazz and other entertainment. For a stay during December, February, March, July and August, five-month advanced bookings are recommended. While Vail Plaza is still hir- ing a spa director, head concierge and director of sales and marketing, the general manager is Connie Dorsey (cdorsey@ vailplazahotel.com; 970-4778010); however, travel advisors are asked to contact Sales and Marketing Manager Uli Wackerhage (uli@vailplazahotel.com; 970-477-8087) for all inquiries. Travel advisors can book all units via the GDS. Tip: Vail Plaza’s prime location is surrounded by luxury shops, galleries, top-tier restaurants and mountain-chic locales for après ski and nightlife. The property is a half-mile away from the Vail Golf Club and a short walk to the epic slopes of Vail Mountain (http://vail.snow. com). Direct expert skiers and snowboarders to the Blue Sky Basin in the resort’s snowy, offthe-beaten-path backcountry. Recommend that clients with a private jet or helicopter bypass Denver International Airport (which is a two-plus-hour drive from Vail Plaza Hotel & Club) and head directly to Eagle County Airport, which also has direct daily service on various major airlines and is a short 35-minute drive away. Nestled in the Wasatch Mountains in Park City, UT, a 35-minute drive from Salt Lake City International Airport, is Hotel Park City (www.hotelpark city.com), a member of The Leading Hotels of the World. The hotel has 100 suites in its main three-story building, as well as 46 privately owned units in the Cottages, which enter a rental pool when unoccupied and which are popular with celebrities during the Sundance Film Festival.
