With the heralded Sundance Film Festival just around the corner, many of the top-tier, priced-at-a-premium lodging options in Park City are being snatched up accordingly. However, while everybody else is preoccupied with the holidays, smart travelers can still nab one hard-to-come-by deal that we’ve just come across at the four-star Hyatt Escala Lodge (which SKI Magazine named one of the top resorts in the country in 2010). Their “Movie Madness” rates coincide with the January indie film fest, knocking off 25 percent from their best available rates, effectively slashing standard rates of $399/night to as low as $300/night.

What's more, the lodge-style Hyatt Escala Lodge at Park City is situated in prime ski country, conveniently located just 30 minutes from the airport in Salt Lake City, in the mountainside village of the Canyons (with ski in/ski out access to The Canyons Resort, the country's third-largest ski and snowboard destination). Guests can choose between 150 units, including standard guestrooms, equipped with kitchenettes and fireplaces, or more expansive apartment-style, one- to four-bedroom suites. All rooms have mountain views, balconies, Wi-Fi access, and en suite washers and dryers. Additional hotel amenities include complimentary ski valet; a restaurant, bar, and market; steam rooms, saunas, and a 24-hour fitness center; and an outdoor heated pool and whirlpool.

The Movie Madness deal is valid for stays from January 23 through January 28, 2012. Book at www.escalalodge.hyatt.com by entering promo code "MOVIE" or by calling 800-554-9288. Just hurry – rates are based upon availability.
