Ski season in Park City, Utah, is right around the corner, and with it comes a new Hyatt hotel that's sure to be the talk of town.

Scheduled to open Nov. 20, Grand Hyatt Deer Valley is the debut property of Deer Valley East Village, an expansion of Deer Valley Resort. Deer Valley East Village will feature 3,700 acres of new skiable terrain with new lifts and runs, new private residences and hotels, as well as shopping, dining outlets and more.

At the Grand Hyatt, 400 rooms and suites will be available to folks looking to hit the slopes in the winter or enjoy Utah's lush summers. Rooms are fresh and sleek, with 55-inch TVs, Nespresso machines and spa-inspired bathrooms — plus, they come in a variety of configurations to fit different needs and groups.

Or, to really spread out, one-, two- and three-bedroom residences are available.

Bars and restaurants at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley are under the direction of chef Marc Marrone, chef Viktor Merenyi and mixologist Frank Maldonado (of NYC's Employees Only fame). Remington Hall, serving rustic American food, will be the hotel's signature restaurant, while the Remington Lounge will feature Maldonado's iconic cocktails.

Double Blacks will offer coffee and cafe-style food (think: breakfast sandwiches and croughnuts); the Living Room will serve as a family-friendly apres-ski spot; and Hidden Ace, a community-focused bar, will offer drinks and live music.

Other highlights of the hotel include a heated outdoor swimming pool with three hot tubs, a spa (in a phased opening), a kids club with a dedicated "hangout hub" with games and activities, and, since the resort is pet friendly, a dog run and specialty dog menu.

As a World of Hyatt Category 6 property, award rates at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley start at 21,000 points per night for off-peak dates. During peak ski season, expect to spend 29,000 World of Hyatt points per night.

With the seasonality of a ski resort, looking for cash rates is a bit of a roller coaster experience. In November, rooms can be found for under $300 a night, but fast forward to January and weeknight rates fluctuate from $600 to over $1,000 per night.

With the World of Hyatt Credit Card, you could actually snag two nights at this new Grand Hyatt by earning 30,000 bonus points after you spend $3,000 on purchases in your first three months from account opening and up to another 30,000 more bonus points by earning two bonus points total per $1 spent in the first six months from account opening on purchases that normally earn one bonus point on up to $15,000 spent.
