G20 Bed and Breakfast

Looking for a nice spring getaway? Why not make it a bed and breakfast?

But where to go?

There are Bed and Breakfasts all over the country, but why not get in a little bit of last minute skiing before the season ends? And the best place to do that is Utah of course – the only place you can find “The Greatest Snow On Earth”.

And luckily, there are Bed and Breakfast’s in the skiing areas, specifically Park City.

Right in Park City you’ll find two Bed and Breakfast’s to choose from for your ski trip, the Silver Moose Ranch and The Old Town Guest House.

The Silver Moose Ranch claims it’s ‘The Most Scenic Bed and Breakfast in Park City’, and with the beautiful 360 degree mountainous view, it very well might be.

You’ll experience a full rustic comfort at the Silver Moose Ranch bed and breakfast and just be 3.5 miles away from that ski lift.

Silver Moose Ranch Room Details:

• The Master Suite – from $120
• The Aspen Room – from $90
• The O’Sullivan’s Spring Room – from $100
• The Wasatch Room – from $100
• The Garden-Themed Columbine Room – from $80

The Old Town Guest House is situated in old town Park City and is perfect for the ski getaway, but tends to be the more expensive option of the two bed and breakfasts.

Despite the price, The Old Town Guest House has been voted Best Inn for Outdoor Sports Enthusiasts 5 years in a row by inn-goers in Arrington’s Bed & Breakfast Journal’s Book of Lists.

At The Old Town Guest House you’ll be close to the ski lifts as well and right in the exciting atmosphere of Park City.

The Old Town Guest House Room Details:

• Treasure Hollow – from $189
• McConky’s Suite – from $199
• Silver Skis – from $99-$199
• Quit-N-Time – from $99-$199

Whichever Bed and Breakfast you decide to go with, you’ll be able to get on the slopes quickly and take in some of that ‘Greatest Snow on Earth’.

So far we’ve discussed some of the most romantic and fairy-tale locations that you could possibly find in your hotel hopping experience. But what if “nice” isn’t your style? What if you’re looking for a hotel that will thrill and chill you with its flickering lights and ghostly knocks at your bedroom door?

Although technically not a bed and breakfast, This 12-story hotel may seem like an ordinary place to stop for the night, and in fact, many people claim that “glamor never looked so good.” From its Tropicana bar to its famed Teddy’s nightclub, Hollywood Roosevelt seems fairly friendly for a supposedly haunted hotel.

Despite its historic Spanish-style architecture and its history for hosting the Academy Awards inside its Blossom Ballroom, many travelers claim to see the ghost of Marilyn Monroe frequenting its rooms and hallways. According to legend, the 9th floor (where Marilyn often visited) is the best place to spot apparitions, listen to ghostly moans, and feel the temperature drop inexplicably.

A few employees have reported to see a man in a suite turn the corner and walk out the emergency exit, without making a sound. Many guests testify that loud footsteps roam the halls at night, and a few even note that they here trumpets practicing (supposedly the ghost of Montgomery Clift who lived in room 928). Coffee makers and TVs turn on of their own accord and strange voices in recordings warn visitors to “turn around.”

However, don’t let the paranormal activity of this building scare you away from enjoying a good night’s stay at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. It also offers an Olympic-size outdoor pool, 9 restaurants, a massage garden, and a state-of-the- art gym.
