(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) The Grand Hyatt Deer Valley, the first hotel of seven to be built in the Deer Valley East Village expansion, is pictured on Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2024. A stay at the hotel ranges from $750 to $2,750 per night during peak season. Cost of lodging was a contributing factor in the resort's ranking as one of the most expensive ski trips in the United States.
