If you ask us, just head straight out the door and stroll one block to Main Street.

This week, the Sundance Film Festival introduced the graphic identity of the 2013 Festival. With the modern design of arrows by designer Paula Scher, organizers say they are celebrating “the myriad choices that the Festival and our filmmakers provide.”

Well, here’s a new choice for a few lucky filmmakers, celebrities and the usual Sundance entourage – stay at the Washington School House and the experience will never be the same.

Just ask those that joined us for the 2012 Festival. Open just three weeks and our evening cocktail hour was the town’s top refuge for celebs and filmmakers looking for the excellent food and drink Sundance promises without the masses and the marketers.

So, in preparation for Park City’s most famous festival, here are five things you might want to know about the 2013 Sundance Film Festival:

• It will be held January 17-27, 2013, steps from Washington School House

• Each year, the Sundance Film Festival selects 200 dramatic, documentary, and short films for exhibition from nearly12,000 submissions

• Want to know what celebrities stayed at WSH during the 2012 Festival? We’ll never tell. But you can visit ABC’s video archives to get a few peaks of our penthouse suite and the celebs that enjoyed it during interviews

• Mark your calendar – beginning September 18, 2012, you can register online (sundance.org) for a purchase timeslot, the only way you’ll be able to buy festival passes or ticket packages

• What are the top 10 all-time hits of Sundance? Check out TIME's Richard Corliss’s picks from more than three decades of the festival at Top 10 Sundance Hits and see if you agree

We hope to see you in January. Call now to make sure you’re a part of our fabulous evening cocktail hour during the 2013 Festival.
