Four award-winning Stein Collection entities have been named Forbes Travel Guide Star award winners. In another impressive year, Stein Eriksen Lodge and The Spa at Stein Eriksen Lodge garnered the renowned Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star award, securing the property as the only Forbes Five-Star hotel and spa in the state of Utah. Also of note, The Chateaux Deer Valley and Glitretind Restaurant at Stein Eriksen Lodge once again earned the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star award, making them one of only five properties and one of only three restaurants throughout Utah to receive this level of recognition. Stein Eriksen Lodge, The Spa at Stein Eriksen Lodge, The Chateaux Deer Valley, and Glitretind Restaurant, all Stein Collection mainstays, remain the industry standard in luxury travel and guest service.

“The Forbes Travel Guide Star awards continue to recognize top-tier entities within the hospitality industry, and we are honored to be awarded Forbes status at four of our establishments,” said Russ Olsen, CEO of Stein Collection. “This recognition would not be possible without our incredibly dedicated, hardworking team of professionals who strive to ensure our guests receive an unmatched luxury experience at every turn.” 

Forbes Travel Guide, the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, and spas, utilizes a team of professional inspectors to travel the world and assess properties based on 900 objective standards that determine the coveted star ratings. These individuals travel anonymously and evaluate a number of facility factors, as well as the service standards and overall feel of the experience – ultimately what matters most in a guest’s stay.
