A characterful Silver Lake hotel combining a Bavarian-inspired original inn with modern Tom Kundig-designed residences. Choose it for an intimate mid-mountain setting, lift access, and more design personality than Deer Valley’s larger resorts.
Why We Chose It
Goldener Hirsch sits in Silver Lake Village, steps from Deer Valley lifts and restaurants. The property deliberately combines two aesthetics: a long-established Bavarian-inspired inn and contemporary residences designed by Tom Kundig. That mix gives couples and design-focused travelers more personality than a conventional ski resort, while larger residences work for families. The tradeoff is scale: this is a more intimate hotel experience with fewer sprawling facilities than Montage or Grand Hyatt. Its Silver Lake position is strongest for travelers who want established Deer Valley terrain and a walkable mid-mountain village.
What Stands Out
- Steps from Deer Valley lifts
- Bavarian-inspired inn plus modern residences
- Tom Kundig-designed contemporary wing
- Walkable Silver Lake Village setting
- More intimate than the major resorts
