3 Best Hotels in Northern Utah, Utah

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.

In a quiet residential area just a short walk from Main Street, this beautifully restored Greek Revival–Georgian mansion is perfect for a romantic getaway or as a cozy retreat, its suites warmly decorated and outfitted with whirlpool baths and, in many cases, fireplaces. The home has hosted famous actors, authors, and political leaders over the years. The expansive front porch with stately columns and views of Logan is a favorite with visitors, as are the home-cooked gourmet breakfasts, with apple pancakes a particular crowd pleaser.
