      Our mission is to be the best-loved manager of one-of-a-kind luxury properties and experiences. Auberge is a family of intimate, one-of-kind hotels and resorts that define an approachable style of luxury in both product and service that resonates with the curious modern traveler. Passionately local, experience-led, romantic, and stylish, these hotels hum with a vibrancy that is both refined and relevant.

      Nestled snugly in the heart of Deer Valley in Utah's Wasatch Mountains, the Goldener Hirsch Inn and
      Residences is just steps from the Silver Lake Express lift and ski access. You can also easily set off
      hiking, and biking on the trails, and soak in the spectacular views of Bald Eagle Mountain. The Inn
      features just 18 rooms, and the Residences showcases 49 newly renovated rooms, allowing us to offer
      you the ultimate in intimate, personalized service alongside five-star amenities--including European
      king beds, plush robes and slippers, and an acclaimed restaurant consistently attracting rave reviews.
      Named after the Hotel Goldener Hirsch in Salzburg, Austria, the Goldener Hirsch Inn is Deer Valley’s
      premier small luxury hotel. It opened in 1991 by the Countess Harriet Walderdorff, the grand dame who
      changed Europe's sense of "Luxury accommodations" from overt extravagance to a casual, yet
      sophisticated style. The hotel's décor and ambience were influenced by her introductions to the same
      Austrian furniture makers as the original hotel. We love her style, and we know you will, too.
      We create individual experiences for our guests, and focus on exceptional guest service and minute
      attention to detail. This has earned our Deer Valley luxury hotel numerous awards and ensures you feel
      like the VIPs you are--from the moment you arrive, and even beyond your departure.
      Come and enjoy our award-winning restaurant which has earned a wide range of accolades including
      Best of State in 2016, “Extraordinary” from Zagat, and Top Restaurant recognitions from Condé Nast
      Traveler, Salt Lake Magazine, The Park Record and Salt Lake Tribune.
      Relax and refresh by the fire in the AlpenStubé after a day of skiing, hiking, mountain biking, or
      shopping--or retreat to the secluded third floor lounge for delicious steaming hot chocolate and
      decadently warm cookies.


      Most recently, the Hirsch was again selected by the World Ski Awards in 2020 as the Best Ski Boutique
      Hotel in the United States. The Goldener Hirsch has been a AAA Four Diamond awardee since 2008.
      We strive to provide you the dedicated service that continues to earn these awards.
      Whether traveling on a ski trip to Aspen, or taking a romantic escape in Santorini for a special
      anniversary, it is the simple things that are most important to the guests of Auberge Resorts Collection.
      At Auberge, we offer the opportunity to create personal memories and stories; tasting freshly picked
      fruit in Cabo San Lucas, horseback riding with a local cowboy in Costa Rica, or planting coral gardens
      in the South Pacific. People who know us, choose to return for shared experiences that connect them
      to local cultures and which will be forever embedded in their soul.
