INTRODUCING PENDRY PARK CITY, A CONTEMPORARY MOUNTAIN RETREAT

Pendry Park City and the plaza complex at Canyons Village has literally transformed our mountain town. Pendry Hotels & Resorts, a division of Montage International, has a well-earned reputation for creating world-class experiences at a level of sophistication rarely seen. Opened in February 2022, Pendry Park City features an elegant array of guestrooms, residences and amenities elevating the northern extension of Park City Mountain.

The complex marks a departure from traditional, craftsman-style resort structures. “The residences represent a re-interpretation of Park City’s past,” says Tina Necrason, vice president of residential at Montage International. “It’s inspired architecture that is nontraditional and not something we’ve seen in the destination before. We believe the residences will become the heartbeat of Canyons Village,” she says.

Beth Rossi, Pendry Park City’s marketing and public relations manager, agrees. “The residences and plaza were built to change the face of Canyons Village. It’s really revitalizing the area with a lot of new restaurant and retail concepts. Each building reveals unique views of different mountains,” says Rossi. The contemporary residences draw on dark tones of exterior stone, contrasted with lighter wood, interior fabrics and leather to suggest a connection with the natural world.”

Pendry Park CityThe resort features 152 guest rooms and suites, and 153 residences, spread across three buildings surrounding the plaza—all with ski-in/ski-out access. The residential units, which have all been sold, range in size from 450-square-foot studios to four-bedroom, 2,600-square-foot family homes. All rooms boast spectacular views of the resort and surrounding areas and are supplied with luxury furniture, bedding, and quality amenities. Pendry Residences provide a true luxury resort experience where owners take great pride in their superior construction and refined interiors. The comfort and quality are apparent throughout.

Pendry Park City is truly a year-round resort. In winter, skiers and snowboarders exit their guestrooms or residences to chairlift access just steps away on the plaza. From there, they have unlimited access to 7,300 acres of unsurpassed winter landscapes via an extensive network of over 40 lifts, over 300 trails and six terrain parks. Summer residents and guests explore the same terrain for mountain biking, trail-running and hiking. Snow lovers relax après ski on a traditional “ski beach” in the plaza. An on-site ski valet will take care of all your equipment while you enjoy a days-end meal or beverage.

Pendry Park City offers four dining and lounge destinations. KITA—the Japanese word for “north”—and their anchor restaurant, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner during the ski season. It’s a premier Japanese steak house and sushi bar, specializing in unique beef dishes and house-made ramen. Fresh seafood is flown in daily. All evening meals may be paired with distinctive cocktails, sakes and wines.

Disco Pizza is a fun, family-oriented dining spot featuring pizzas, pasta and traditional comfort food. Its milkshake bar is a popular spot. Craft beers, cocktails and wine are available.

Après Pendry, located at the heart of the resort, presents a contemporary, European take on traditional lobby restaurants/lounges. Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it’s a favorite gathering spot for guests and residents alike. A crackling fireplace greets indoor diners, who enjoy comfort food and handcrafted cocktails and beers. Outdoor seating is also available and live music adds atmosphere to this delightful spot.

Perhaps the liveliest of Pendry Park City’s dining spots is the Pool House Bar & Grille. Currently the only rooftop pool and restaurant in town, it’s the perfect location to take a summer dip or sit by the fire after a full winter’s day on the slopes. The grille serves “classic” American mountain fare, craft local beers, cocktails and more. Regular DJ nights get guests up and dancing. With stunning views in all directions, it’s the perfect place to unwind. “I think we’re going to have a great après ski scene at the Pool House Bar & Grille this winter,” says Rossi.

Music often echoes through the bustling plaza where a steady supply of local singer/songwriters and bands perform most afternoons and evenings. Music also emanates from outdoor dining areas sprinkled around the plaza.
With six private treatment rooms, the resort’s boutique spa offers a full menu of body and beauty treatments and massages. An experienced team of therapists encourage total relaxation and self-care. A fitness center, fully equipped with Technogym machines and Peloton stationary bikes, are available to residents and guests 24 hours a day.

Pendry Park City was envisioned as a family-friendly resort where adults and children alike can experience the destination. The Pinwheel Kids Club is the first of its kind at a Pendry resort. “While we are the first Pendry property to have a signature children’s program, there are plans for Pinwheel Kids Club to open at future Pendry properties.

This is a great amenity for families with children to utilize while they’re staying with us,” says Rossi.

The club offers half- and all-day activities for young guests ages five through twelve to experience daily while their parents take to the slopes or enjoy an afternoon or evening out at one of the resort’s restaurants and lounges. An innovative “kids night out” program is also available on Friday and Saturday nights. Reservations are required.

The resort has also quickly become a popular venue for meetings and events. “We have a wide variety of spaces to welcome meetings. We have a Grand Ballroom that can be split into several different rooms for meetings or luncheons,” says Rossi. The 3,500-square-foot ballroom, with flexible seating and comprehensive amenities, can accommodate groups up to 360 people. A smaller, 2,200-square-foot Junior Ballroom, equipped with state-of-the-art technology for presentations, seats up to 240 guests.

The plaza itself is also available for events. “Because of the way the resort is designed, it’s really welcoming for groups to come visit us,” adds Rossi.

Recreation reigns supreme year-round at Pendry Park City. After all, it is the reason most people live here or choose to vacation here. The spectrum of outdoor recreational activities available to residents and guests is truly amazing. Compass Sports, Pendry’s on-site outfitter and guide service, can provide all the gear necessary for almost any outdoor activity. Experienced guides lead skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, e-biking, hiking and many other excursions. A hotel concierge can schedule individual or group hot air ballooning, horseback riding, river rafting, golf outings and more.
Pendry Park City features Cadillac as their official vehicle partner. Guests can enjoy complimentary transportation locally in sure-footed Cadillac SUVs.

There is even a “Ride & Drive” program for guests who want to test drive one of these elegant vehicles.

Pendry Park City is less than a 10-minute drive to historic Main Street. No trip here is complete without a stroll on this iconic street for shopping and world-class dining. For the complete experience, step into one of Main Street’s many art galleries or take in a show at the historic Egyptian Theatre.

Pendry Park City is the sixth Pendry resort to open and a marked departure from their earlier projects in metropolitan areas. “We are a newer brand of resort for Park City,” says Rossi. “It will be a great place to live and a great place for visitors and locals alike to come and experience year-round.”
