      The Washington School House is an iconic historic landmark located in Park City, Utah. After the completion of a total interior renovation, this fabulously preserved 1889 limestone gem reopened as an international industry darling. The concept? Simple, really. To provide a level of chic sophistication to a discerning traveler that is outside the box. Literally, since our hotel isn’t in a box. It is in a re-purposed, architecturally revered building. This one-of-kind discriminating attitude applies to everything – from the paint on our walls to the slippers in your room. Everything is intentional. We got lucky. The building is fantastic. We made it a little more fantastic by terracing an outdoor pool/spa into the hillside. And let’s talk about the location. In the heart of historic Park City, basking in mountain-urban swank of remarkable dining, shopping and après-ski all within blocks. The design of the twelve suites and rooms– unrivaled. The finishes? Exceptional. We particularly LOVE the reclaimed oak barn wood floors, locally quarried Utah quartzite, and mountain ice-white marble in the baths. The furnishings you ask? We have curated a collection of European antiques, vintage modern paintings, crystal chandeliers, silver flatware and serving pieces and… took a little time to create a few custom pieces of our own. We might have to pry you out of your room to get you on the mountain. Our staff is prepared to exceed your expectations. Our chef has crafted a menu featuring a modern and organic approach to classic American fare. Breakfast is unavoidable. Après-ski fare fireside in our chic ski lounge is nearly mandatory. Our ski valet is at your service. Prepare to be delighted.
