Utah military families have booked more than 1,500 nights at the Grand Hyatt Deer Valley through its Salute to Service program in 2026. That puts Utah ahead of every other state, according to figures The Park Record reported on Veterans Day, November 11.

One hundred rooms at a military rate

When the hotel opened in Deer Valley East Village in November 2024, it set aside 100 of its 381 rooms for eligible military guests at a reduced rate. Two years in, junior enlisted service members account for nearly 40% of the program’s 2026 room nights.

Across all states, guests had booked 5,894 room nights for 2026 as of Veterans Day, up from 1,849 for 2025, according to figures from Utah’s Military Installation Development Authority reported by The Park Record. A family reserving one room for three nights counts as three room nights.
