Set right in Utah’s Wasatch Mountains, Park City is a town that has mastered the art of reinvention. Once a 19th-century silver-mining outpost, it’s now one of the country’s most stylish alpine escapes – home to world-class ski slopes, notable film festivals, and a surprisingly impressive year-round scene. Between mountain trails, art galleries, and must-visit après-ski bars, it’s the perfect place for anyone to visit who’s dreaming of a mountain getaway with a side of luxury.
And speaking of luxury, Park City’s boutique hotels are exactly that. From restored miner’s lodges turned luxury hideaways, sleek slopeside retreats with rooftop hot tubs, and cozy Main Street inns that feel straight out of a snow globe, these hotels make it impossible not to fall in love with the town—and start plotting your next visit before check-out.
