Stein Eriksen Lodge, one of the most popular mountain resort destinations in the world has fetched the prestigious Mobil Five Star Award for the second time. The second Mobil five star award puts Stein Eriksen on the elite list of 44 other hotels, resorts and inns who have the coveted honor to their credit.

Other than being a two time winner of the prestigious Mobil five star award, Stein Eriksen Lodge also has a AAA five diamond rating to boast of. The dual achievements makes Stein Eriksen one of the only 32 properties in North America to hold both Mobil Travel Guide’s and AAA’s highest accolades. While the hotel received a full five star rating, it’s Glitretind Restaurant and The Spa both received Four-Star ratings. While The Spa is the only spa in Utah to have such an award, the Gliterind shares the designation with only one more restaurant in Utah.

With 180 rooms including 68 suites, the ski-in/ski-out property features amenities such as full-service concierge, ski valets, twice daily maid service (pampering at its best), rental shop and boutiques. The hotel stands in the mid mountain at the Deer Valley resort and offers everything that a luxury traveler could ask for. From fine dining to the most comfortable accommodation to some lavish recreation facilities, the lodge offers it all. So if you are not heading to this lodge of divine luxury, you would certainly be missing out on something.
