Stein Eriksen Lodge Announces Extensive Spa Expansion

PARK CITY, UT - Stein Eriksen Lodge is pleased to announce a significant expansion to The Spa-its Mobil Four-Star rated spa sanctuary. The impressive remodel, slated for completion in December 2009, will take the award-winning facility from 4,300 square-feet to approximately 20,000 square-feet of lavish pampering, more than doubling the number of individual treatment rooms, increasing the size of the women's and men's locker rooms as well as adding separate relaxation rooms, expanding the fitness center with separate locker rooms, and building out the pool deck by approximately 2,000 square feet.

"Throughout our 26 years, the Lodge has consistently raised the bar when it comes to alpine hospitality, and expanding The Spa by such a large measure further demonstrates our continued commitment to providing guests with the utmost level of service and pampering," said Russ Olsen, CEO of Stein Eriksen Lodge.

The intimate Norwegian spa will boast 16 treatment rooms in the upper level, which include two couple treatment rooms with a shared relaxation room, and two wet treatment rooms. In addition, there will be expanded pedicure and manicure facilities and a new make-up and hair styling room.

"Whether guests are simply looking to unwind after a day of outdoor activities or seeking deep therapy to combat the high altitude and dry climate in Park City, The Spa delivers heightened relaxation, rejuvenation and overall enhanced wellness and will now do so on a much grander scale," said Olsen.

During the renovation spa services will be available at a reduced price in two of the Lodge's suites which will be converted to accommodate treatments. The menu of treatments will still include signature treatments, such as the Nordic Princess, Norseman Vichy, Four-Layer Anti-Aging Facial and Stein Gold Facial. The fitness center will be relocated to the Black Diamond Room and open to guests 24-hours a day. Pool access will be granted to guests at an adjacent property for the months that the pool deck is under renovation.

For the second consecutive year, the Mobil Travel Guide bestowed the hospitality industry's most prestigious designations-the Mobil Five-Star award-upon Stein Eriksen Lodge, continuing the Lodge's standing as the first and only Utah property to achieve this distinction. Stein Eriksen Lodge maintains its position on an elite list of 44 hotels, inns and resorts throughout North America to achieve the coveted honor. In 2003, the Lodge was the first Utah property to be recognized with the AAA Five Diamond rating. 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 accolades.

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.
