A beacon in the “Hospitality, Travel & Tourism” category, Westgate Park City was honored for being a premier alpine escape blending five-star service with direct access to the slopes and a wellness haven offering transformational experiences with every visit, while the resort’s culinary prowess stole the show in the “Dining Establishments” category:

The Best of State Awards reigns as Utah’s premier recognition platform, created to highlight candidates that demonstrate achievement and excellence in their fields of endeavor (50%), employ innovative practices (30%), and elevate the state’s overall quality of life (20%). Judged independently by a panel of more than 100, and with rigorous oversight from Gilbert & Stewart, P.C., the process ensures each nominee is assessed purely on merit—not competition.

“Earning 87 Best of State Awards over 13 years shows our mission to honor a legacy built on vision, dedication, and continued innovation in motion,” said Peter Gianini, senior vice president of Resort Operations for Westgate Resorts. “We admire and applaud our Team Members at Westgate Park City, whose collective efforts made this tremendous milestone possible.”
