Ogden is becoming a popular ski destination in Utah, as it sits at the base of three different, but equally magnificent resorts—Powder Mountain, Snowbasin and Nordic Valley. Buses transport passengers to and from Snowbasin and Powder Mountain for a minimal fee, and it’s a beautiful ride up. With all the historic sites, restaurants and fun things to do in Ogden, it’s easy to see why travelers choose to stay in town. As an added bonus, the pool in the iconic film the “Sandlot” is also here. Convinced Ogden is your next vacay destination? These are the very best hotels to stay at.
Hilton Garden Inn Ogden Utah
Only a couple blocks from the highly historic 25th Street which used to be full of speakeasies and such, this Hilton location in Ogden is also proximal to Peery’s Egyptian Theater, which is one of the few preserved movie plazas in the United States. Many rooms have mountain views from large picture windows, which accent the cozy decor well. The indoor pool is a lovely addition, with lounge chairs and an updated feel, which is welcomed after spending time on the slopes or in the onsite gym.

Don’t forget to taste the complimentary strawberry lemonade in the lobby!
