Utah’s most elegant mountain resort, Park City is nestled amidst the Wasatch Mountains. Home of the Sundance Film Festival, the 2002 Olympic Park and a number of world-class ski resorts, this is a superb destination for thrill-seeking outdoor adventurers. Accommodation options range from chic boutique hideaways to expansive resorts offering all manner of facilities and activities, fit for a whole host of tastes and budgets. Whether you’re dreaming of gliding through the snow or unwinding at the spa, the best places to stay in Park City have it all.

Lined with 19th-century townhouses, Park City’s Main Street looks especially pretty in the snow. This was originally a silver mining town, and the community's intriguing past is detailed at the Park City Museum. Later revitalised as a nature-focused sports destination, the setting for one of the world’s best-known film festivals and a rejuvenating spa haven due to the surrounding hot springs, Park City is booming once again.

Summer visitors will find the mountains criss-crossed with hiking, mountain biking and horse riding trails, as well as opportunities to kick back in natural hot springs. There's also kayaking, fishing, rafting and golf. Kids will especially enjoy zip lining and rock climbing at the Olympic Park — and free public transport throughout the city makes getting around a breeze. Come winter, you’ll find yourself in one of the USA’s top alpine destinations, with a tremendous variety of spectacular runs for snowboarders and skiers, as well as snow showing, bobsledding and tobogganing to be enjoyed.

Adventurers congregate in the heart of town for après-ski evenings at delightful gourmet eateries and buzzing bars. The best places to stay in Park City pack out for the Sundance Film Festival each January, so book your trip well in advance!
