A high-country hotel not to miss

We love to discover hotels and hotspots throughout the West that surprise us with great design and top-notch service, and the Washington School House Hotel is one such special place. The boutique hotel, located just two blocks from the ski lift in the heart of Park City, Utah, is a refashioned schoolhouse that’s furnished with European antiques, gilded accents and bold modern art.

Each day, the hotel’s chef whips up a complimentary gourmet breakfast for guests, plus sweet and savory après-ski treats. And the hotel’s staff will pack and unpack your bags, get your lift tickets, schlep your ski gear, make your restaurant reservations and arrange an in-room massage. A heated outdoor pool, ski valet, feather beds, iPads and iPods loaded with movies and tunes, and a boutique filled with unique finds are just a few more reasons while you’ll never want to leave. From $475/night during the winter season. washingtonschoolhouse.com >Read the full story on Washington School House hotel
