DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Park City - The Yarrow

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Park City is a casual hotel with convenient access to nearby mountain ranges in Park City, Utah. The lobby is a relaxing space with a lot of dark wood lightened by green carpets and blue walls. Common areas give a nod to the location, where many people come to enjoy the mountains in both ski weather and warmer months. Outdoorsy elements like climbing rope, lamps resembling tree branches, and a large mural of a snowy mountain range decorate common areas. There’s a ski valet for those toting a lot of gear, plus a cozy lounge with a fireplace to warm up after hitting the slopes. Some guests have reported finding the hotel a bit dark and gloomy, as well as hallway layouts confusing at first. Families are drawn to this hotel for the decent list of features -- like a swimming pool and on-site dining -- at a budget-friendly price, but couples and business travelers come as well. 

The hotel is in a convenient spot, at the intersection of the two main roads through Park City, Utah. There are a grocery store and strip mall behind the hotel, and several restaurants within a seven-minute walk. It is an eight-minute walk to the Park City Golf course. The city’s free public transit system stops just outside the hotel for easy access to resorts and sights around the area. It is a three-minute drive to the iconic Park City Mountain ski resort, where there are powdery slopes in the winter, fit for all levels of skiers. In the summer, the resort hosts an amusement park and there’s ample hiking and biking opportunities on the slopes. Main Street is a quaint spot with shops and restaurants to explore, a four-minute drive from the hotel. 

Standard rooms are spacious and clean, though they're generic chain furnishings make them feel bland. Brown and ivory tones and wood furniture are warm, but there’s little color beyond a green headboard, chair, and bed runner. Still, rooms are a good value for the price, and extra amenities make up for lackluster decor. All rooms have a 32-inch flat-screen TV, mini-fridge, coffeemaker, iron, and safe. Some rooms include a fireplace and/or kitchenette with a microwave, sink, and cabinet space. Room options include queen- or king-size beds, and suites have king-size beds and a sitting area, some in a separate room. Contemporary bathrooms have either a shower/tub combo or a shower stall with a glass door. Some rooms have a whirlpool tub and provide bathrobes. A hairdryer is included, as are free toiletries. Note that some past guests have complained of minor maintenance or noise issues, as well as uninspiring parking lot views.

This DoubleTree has all the basics, but few extra frills. The on-site steakhouse is a straightforward spot with brown and ivory decor and funky chandeliers made from bicycle frames. Three meals are served daily; the food is good, but none are included in the room rate. The bar and lounge is open in the evening. It is a pleasant, casual spot with a modern feel, and guests can order food from the restaurant grill menu. The central courtyard is a simple, bland space with a heated pool and a large whirlpool. It is nicer in warm weather when the trees are in bloom, but still usable in the winter. There's also a spacious and functional fitness room, but it only has a few machines. Meeting rooms are available for events up to 600 people, and a business center in the lobby has computers and a printer. Free Wi-Fi is available everywhere on-site.
