The Lodge At Blue Sky, Auberge Resorts Collection Honored As One Of The Best New Hotels In The World By AFAR Magazine


PARK CITY, Utah, April 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Lodge at Blue Sky, Auberge Resorts Collection, the modern mountain resort celebrating luxury with wild abandon, has been named to the AFAR 2020 Stay List, the compendium of the best new hotels in the world. The second annual list honors the 27 most extraordinary new hotels and resorts as determined by AFAR editors and contributors, who personally visited and vetted each property.

Opened in June 2019, The Lodge is an elevated mountain retreat and the social heart of Blue Sky Utah, a 3,500-acre ranch created by Park City developer Mike Phillips, in the scenic Wasatch Range. Conceived as a place where guests can slow down, immerse themselves in nature and forge meaningful connections with the land and its inhabitants, The Lodge was designed in harmony with the natural landscape and to celebrate authentic western adventure with year-round outdoor explorations that honor the region's rich heritage.

"We are honored to be recognized by AFAR as one of the best new hotels in the world, and to be named alongside hotels we deeply respect," said Joe Ogdie, General Manager, The Lodge at Blue Sky, Auberge Resorts Collection. "We are grateful to share this accolade with our incredible team, whose commitment to delivering outstanding service and creating unforgettable guest experiences made this possible."

Surrounded by dramatic soaring peaks, high alpine fields, lush hillsides and a spring-fed creek, the 46-room Lodge at Blue Sky invites guests to reconnect with the natural environment in understated elegance, with organic architecture that showcases the majesty of the land, and a collection of immersive outdoor adventures from hiking, fly fishing and clay shooting, to horseback riding and heli-skiing.

World-class cuisine, a hallmark of every Auberge resort, is offered at The Lodge's restaurant, YUTA, helmed by James Beard Award-Winning Executive Chef Galen Zamarra, who sources ingredients from an onsite organic farm. Deeply restorative treatments at the Edge Spa complement Blue Sky's active outdoor adventures, and exclusive to Blue Sky experiential learning opportunities include artisanal whiskey-making at the on-site High West Whiskey Distillery, hands-on horsemanship at the 30,000 square-foot indoor equestrian center and up-close animal encounters at Saving Gracie owner Barb Phillips' horse rescue sanctuary.

The second annual AFAR Stay List is published in the May/June 2020 Hospitality issue and online at https://www.afar.com/magazine/best-new-hotels.
