If you have the pleasure of spending Valentine’s Day in romantic Park City, have no fear as there is a plethora of delectable restaurants to choose from, and it is hard to go wrong with any choice. We, along with the Park City Area Restaurant Association, have rounded up some great Valentine’s Day specials to share, along with some of our favorite romantic things to do in town.
If you are headed to Main Street for dinner, before you head to your reservation, take a stroll through town and pop into the impressive art galleries or jewelry stores. Or if you are having dinner at one of the fabulous restaurants at one of the resorts or hotels on the resorts, be sure to explore unique experiences like private horse-drawn sleigh rides on the mountain. Such services run from outside of Fireside Dining at Deer Valley or from Glitretind at Stein Eriksen Lodge.
Really make a romantic day of the holiday and treat your special someone to a relaxing experience, maybe even a couples massage. You know you enjoyed that couples massage Johns Creek last time, so why not recreate the experience. What’s better than having a relaxing massage with your partner, enjoying some quality time together. There are no shortages of places to get incredible massages and treatments in town, but we think the Spas at The Montage and Waldorf Astoria are great places to start. for truly luxurious experiences.
In addition to a magical evening out on the town, we suggest you make a full experience of it and stay at any one of our incredible hotels in town, as well as partake in some of other great ideas to really treat the one you love. To really take it to the next level, talk to your hotel concierge or our friends at Four Seasons Concierge on ways to “wow” them like a rose petal turndown and other unique amenities they may offer.
