Westgate Park City Resort & Spa’s Serenity Spa by Westgate, Edge Steakhouse recognized by Forbes Travel Guide

Park City, Utah — April 2016 — Forbes Travel Guide unveiled its annual Star Rating list, naming both Edge Steakhouse and Serenity Spa of Westgate Park City Resort & Spa as new Forbes Travel Guide listings.

As a 30,000-square-foot full-service spa, Serenity Spa offers a range of spa services and products. The spa features 14 treatment rooms, a tranquil spa with waterfall and magnificent amenities. Serenity Spa has captured the prestigious Best of State Award for four consecutive years for Best Destination Spa in Utah.  

Edge Steakhouse and Serenity Spa are the latest additions to the luxury travel ratings that have been the gold standard in the hospitality industry since 1958.
