Fodor's Expert Review Compass Rose Lodge

The gorgeous contemporary design, charming small-town location, hip coffeehouse, welcoming hosts, and light-filled sitting areas are—amazingly—not even the coolest things about this stylish boutique inn: that honor belongs to the silo-shape Huntsville Astronomic and Lunar Observatory, which adjoins the inn and offers unforgettable viewing experiences of the cosmos. The inn has stylishly appointed rooms with 50-inch TVs, climate control, plush bedding, and roomy white-tile standing showers with Beekman 1802 bath products. Rates include a delicious breakfast in Lift coffeehouse. It's a 15- to 20-minute drive from Ogden Valley's ski areas.
