Best Places to Stay Near Old Town Park City (and Still Be Close to the Slopes)
If you want to ski hard by day and stroll Main Street by night, Park City makes it easy. Old Town sits between Deer Valley and Park City Mountain, with Canyons Village just a short drive or bus ride away. Here’s a simple breakdown of the best places to stay near Old Town and why everything feels so walkable.
Staying in Old Town & on Main Street
For pure “park the car and forget it” convenience, Old Town and Main Street are tough to beat. Condos and townhomes here sit just steps from boutiques, galleries, bars, and some of Utah’s best restaurants. Many properties are a short walk to Town Lift, letting you ski directly onto Park City Mountain from the heart of downtown. Park City Lodging+1
From here, nightlife is literally outside your door: wine bars, craft cocktails, live music, and late-night bites all line Main Street. No shuttles, no parking headaches—just grab your boots and go.
Deer Valley: Luxury Close to Main Street
Deer Valley is known for its ski-only terrain, polished service, and upscale lodges. Snow Park and Lower Deer Valley are only about a mile from Historic Main Street, and most hotels and vacation rentals offer shuttles or easy access to Park City’s free transit system. Deer Valley Resort
You get quiet, mountainside lodging with quick rides into Old Town for dinner and nightlife. It’s a great choice if you want a refined, quieter base but still plan to spend evenings on Main Street.
Park City Mountain Base Area
Staying at the Park City Mountain base (near the main village off Lowell Avenue) gives you ski-in/ski-out or walk-to-lift access, plus a quick connection to Old Town. Lodging here ranges from hotels to spacious condos at the base village. Park City Mountain Resort+1
Main Street is about a 10–15 minute walk for most people, or a fast hop on the free bus system. You’re close to rental shops, ski school, and après-ski by the lifts, but you still have an easy night run into town.
Near Canyons Village (Canyons Resort)
Canyons Village (the former Canyons Resort side of Park City Mountain) has become a full four-season village with hotels, condos, and new luxury developments like Grand Summit, Apex Residences, and Lift. These offer true slopeside access plus their own restaurants, bars, and après scene. Park City Mountain Resort+1
Old Town and Main Street are a short drive or bus ride away—about 10–15 minutes—so you can spend the day skiing Canyons’ terrain and still come into town for dinner, shopping, or Sundance action.
Why Park City Feels So Walkable
Park City was intentionally designed as a pedestrian-friendly mountain town. Old Town’s compact grid, the Town Lift, and miles of sidewalks make it easy to get around on foot. The free bus system connects Deer Valley, Park City Mountain, Old Town, and Canyons Village all day and into the evening, so you can skip renting a car altogether. Business Insider+1
The result: you can stay near the slopes in Deer Valley, Park City Mountain, Old Town, or Canyons—then still be just minutes from Main Street’s restaurants, galleries, and nightlife.
