01-29-2008

 

First Utah Property to Receive Industry's Most Coveted Honors

DEER VALLEY RESORT, Park City, UT (January 28, 2008) - The Mobil Travel Guide bestowed one of the hospitality industry's most prestigious designations-the Mobil Five Star award-upon Stein Eriksen Lodge today, making it the first Utah property to achieve this distinction. Stein Eriksen Lodge joins an elite list of 41 hotels, inns and resorts throughout North America as one of only four new Five Star properties.

 

Over the past 25 years, Stein Eriksen Lodge has established itself as a leader in alpine hospitality and one of the most highly respected mountain resort destinations in the world. In 2003, the Lodge was the first Utah property to be recognized with the AAA Five Diamond rating. The addition of the Mobil Five Star award makes Stein Eriksen Lodge one of only 30 properties in North America to hold both Mobil Travel Guide's and AAA's highest honors.

 

"It is a significant honor to become Utah's first hotel to receive the Mobil Five Star award," said Russ Olsen, chief executive officer of Stein Eriksen Lodge. "This distinction illustrates the unyielding dedication of our staff to provide uncompromising service of the highest caliber. Without such dedication given on a daily basis, this honor would not have been possible."

 

With this award, Stein Eriksen Lodge joins a very exclusive group of properties capable of offering guests full assurance that they will consistently benefit from uncompromising, exceptional service. Located mid-mountain at Deer Valley Resort, Stein Eriksen Lodge is the ultimate year-round luxury resort, offering world-class hospitality, accommodations, fine-dining, meeting facilities, spa services and recreation. With 180 rooms including 68 suites, the ski-in/ski-out property features such amenities as full-service concierge, ski valets, twice daily maid service, rental shop and boutiques. Stein Eriksen Lodge is also home to the Four-Star Glitretind restaurant, and the intimate Four- Star Spa at Stein Eriksen Lodge.

Since its inception in 1958, the Mobil Travel Guide has used an objective set of judging criteria, unique among leading travel books, which sets national standards yet allows for regional and individual preferences. A carefully selected team of hospitality experts anonymously evaluates the establishments listed in the Guide, using a proprietary ratings process based on more than 750 rigorous and standardized criteria that are evaluated and updated annually. Properties must offer a level of experience appropriate to the cost, based on the quality of such items as décor, comfort, amenities, and services.
