It was a year ago this month – December 27, 2011, to be exact – that Old School truly became the New Cool. Washington School House opened to more than a little fanfare and Park City hasn’t been the same since.
We were called a “chic den of urban sophistication” and editors raved about our “superior service and enviable proximity to Park City’s Main Street.” A writer in Arizona went so far as to proclaim “the über chic Washington School House really does rock.” A “tiny off-mountain gem, “ said another. The praise goes on and on, but we really shouldn’t.
And so, in celebration of the first anniversary of our opening and a year of great cheer, both in the hotel and in travel publications and design magazines and on news shows and websites worldwide, we have a little gift for you.
We’re calling it our Oh, What a Year! Celebration. To join the festivities, call us by December 27, 2012, to book a stay of three nights or more in a suite between January 5 and April 13, 2013, and wish us a ”Happy Anniversary” – we just can’t hear it enough – and you will receive a 27% discount on your room rate.
This just might be the best gift you’ll receive this season. Why? you ask? Well, in the past 12 months, many wonderful things have been said about WSH. (As we’re occasionally wont to point out. Just occasionally.) And on this special occasion of our one-year anniversary, we’d like to share a list of accolades bestowed upon WSH in 2012. We can’t wait to hear what you will add to our 2013 list…
