Washington School House

Ditching the rustic log cabin vibe one might expect from a Park City hotel, the Washington School House has a modern and glamorous coziness.

• The location parallel to Park City’s historic Main Street, but at a far enough distance to avoid noise and crowds during peak season
• The stylish décor with elegant touches including chandeliers, antiques and modern art
• The friendly staff who can accommodate any request and who make a point to get to know guests individually

There is something to be said about a hotel that is elegant and stylish, yet somehow successfully achieves an inviting and warm ambience. This is the case for the 12-room Washington School House.

The hotel’s exterior shows its historic significance, while the interior, after a complete renovation in 2011, is simple in design with white walls, wooden floors and unique furnishings. Complete with an outdoor pool for the summer and easy access to the surrounding ski resorts in the winter, the hotel is open year-round. Non-skiers will also enjoy the property, which is located a short walk from Main Street, complete with great boutiques, restaurants and art galleries. While the hotel offers a true boutique experience, luxe extras include in-room massages and a private chef who whips up whatever guests desire.

Couples who want a romantic escape, families with older children and those who do not want to be confined to a ski resort.
