Westgate Park City Resort & Spa is a large ski-in, ski-out property situated at the base of the Canyons Resort gondola. A mix of regular and timeshare rooms consist mainly of apartment-style quarters with washers and dryers, full kitchens, and separate living areas. A formal and a casual restaurant, a large indoor/outdoor pool, a modest spa, a free shuttle service to town, and an entertainment center for children are a few of the many amenities at the four-pearl resort. Boots and skis are kept on separate floors, and buildings are not always well-marked and thus can be difficult to find. There have been occasional reports of lapses in cleanliness; different agencies may be responsible for the upkeep of the timeshare and non-timeshare rooms.

There's also a central main lobby set off of a drive-in carport, which is furnished with high ceilings, several fireplaces, and massive windows. Western wildlife motifs adorn the wallpaper throughout the buildings, and interior architecture and decor has a mountain lodge style, with wood beams and tufted leather couches.

Rooms
Condo-style rooms with kitchens, living areas, and large soaking tubs

Smaller rooms have kitchenettes with mini-fridges, double burners, and tiny sinks, while larger ones have full kitchens with stoves, ovens, fridges, and plenty of cookware and dishes. Bathrooms contain either a big shower/tub combo or have an antechamber with a large whirlpool tub and a walk-in shower in the bathroom.
