Romantic Destinations in Utah



With one of the highest mountain ranges in the western United States, Utah is a premier ski destination throughout the winter. The Wasatch Range runs through the center of the state, with much of the rest of the landscape being covered in desert and limestone. An arid place, Utah is a great spot for people who enjoy the unique feel of desert life but don't want to be stuck in extreme heat. Utah is also the home of most of the US's population of Mormons (Church of Latter Day Saints) which draws many who follow this religion. Romantic destinations in Utah can be centered around the natural wonders of the area, or its rich cultural heritage.

One spot that is great for your romantic retreat is in Moab, Utah. This town is close to many area attractions, including the Colorado River, as well as the Canyonland and Arches National Parks. The Sunflower Hill Luxury Inn is the perfect place to stay while you're in Moab, and the Inn is the area's only four diamond AAA resort. Composed of two newly restored buildings, the Sunflower Hill Inn offers comfortable lodgings that are furnished to beautifully complement the Inn and its surroundings. There are different levels of rooms, ranging from the standard room all the way up to a deluxe suite. The deluxe suites and rooms include Jacuzzi tubs along with the standard amenities found in all rooms, such as private baths and antique beds.

The Sunflower Hill Inn serves a delicious breakfast buffet each morning, including several entrees and different side dishes to fill you up. If you are looking to have an especially romantic time, the Inn also offers some romance packages that will make your stay even more memorable. Included are additions such as sparkling cider or champagne, fresh flowers in your room, a gift certificate to a luxury restaurant in Moab, gourmet chocolate and even a free Burt's Bees gift to keep. Of course, these are all in addition to your wonderfully decorated antique styled room, and your seclusion in the Utah countryside.

For romantic destinations in Utah, another spot that is brimming with possibilities is the Green Gate Village Historic Inn, located in St. George. This inn is composed of two buildings, the former home of the town's mayor (in the 1800's) as well as the home of an early Mormon Church leader. There are actually 14 restored historic buildings within the Inn's property, and 12 different guest rooms to stay in. Included with the Romantic Destination package are one night accommodations, fresh flowers in your room, chilled sparkling cider and a fireplace or Jacuzzi lit with candles. In the morning, you will also be treated to a hearty breakfast.

Utah is much more than just the home of Salt Lake City and the LDS church. It is also a place of scenic wonder and Western history that has brought a lot of change to the United States. Utah has a small town feel and charm all throughout the area.
