Luxury Travel Guide to Park City

Travellers looking for sophisticated, exclusive and well-curated travel experiences paired with stunning mountain scenery need look no further than Park City, Utah. For a small town – its permanent population is still under 10,000 – this destination offers plenty of big-city appeal. It’s no surprise that the prestigious Sundance Film Festival has been held here for over 40 years. Park City is a luxury playground beyond compare. 


What began as a silver mining town in the 1800s has transformed into an easily accessible, Olympic-quality ski and resort area. The town earns its world-class vacation status with a rare combination of upscale accommodations, fine dining, and year-round exceptional experiences—all wrapped up with the staggering natural beauty of the surrounding Wasatch Mountain Range. Let’s take a closer look at all that Park City has to offer.


High-End Slopeside Vacation Rentals

Along with some of the largest ski areas in the U.S., you’ll also find some of the most luxurious places to stay. Park City’s and nearby Deer Valley's booming housing market and decades of investment by 5-star hotel and resort brands means plenty of high-end vacation rentals loaded with amenities, including with ski-in/ski-out access. 

You can discover the epitome of Park City luxury and world-class skiing in any of our luxury vacation rentals at the base of Deer Valley. These private, modern residences are a premier escape right on the mountain, with fireplaces, chef’s kitchens, spa-like bathrooms and much more. And with access to all the unparalleled, on-site amenities of the Deer Valley Resort, you can enjoy the best of a mountain adventure along with a boutique, 5-star stay.


Fine Dining with a View

There is no shortage of opportunities to experience the remarkable culinary scene in Park City. Exceptional cuisine and unique atmospheres await, often with a side dish of art, culture and magnificent mountain and valley views. The Riverhorse on Main (540 Main Street) is one of Park City’s most acclaimed upscale American restaurants, known for its sophisticated ambiance and live music. Signature dishes include the macadamia nut-crusted halibut and hand-cut buffalo tartare.

Don’t miss out on a meal at RIME Seafood & Steak at The St. Regis Deer Valley (2300 Deer Valley Drive East) for a refined and seasonally inspired approach to seafood and steak. And for a taste of elegance and modern French-European flavours, head to the award-winning Courchevel Bistro (201 Heber Avenue).

Exclusive Year-Round Activities

We could go on for days about all there is to do in Park City. But travellers looking for something truly special might start with private ski lessons, or for the more experienced, access to uncrowded, untouched powder via private snowcat or helicopter skiing. With expert guides, gourmet lunch, and terrain far from public ski areas, this is an unforgettable way to enjoy Park City’s world-class alpine areas.


For a less strenuous activity, but still with all the perks, book a luxury snowmobile adventure through Park City’s private ranches. These private tours typically last 2–3 hours and are led by experienced guides, allowing riders of all levels to enjoy the scenery, gourmet refreshments, and 10,000+ acres of pristine alpine land.

Want to visit when the snow is gone? Book a private hot air balloon ride over the Wasatch Mountains with a champagne brunch before or after your ride – guaranteed to be anything but your average sightseeing tour of Park City. And at any time of year, you can book a private art and wine walk in Historic Old Town Park City for curated, insider access to local galleries, meet-the-artist sessions, and sommelier-led wine pairings.


Shopping and Wellness

Leave time for Park City’s renowned wellness and shopping scene. Historic Main Street features upscale shops like the Gorsuch and Flight Boutique, where you can find designer labels, jewelry, art, home décor and more. And for a spa indulgence afterwards, book time at the Waldorf Astoria Spa or the Spa at Stein Eriksen Lodge for the personalized treatments, including everything from alpine stone massages to oxygen facials. 

Wellness seekers can also enjoy holistic experiences such as guided meditation, yoga retreats, and infrared saunas at spots like The Shop Yoga Studio and Align Spa.
