Grappa Restaurant Building

You can read Park City's whole arc in this building at the top of Main Street. It went up in 1926 as the Royal Hotel, cheap room and board for the miners working the silver—more than thirty of them packed in by 1930. The Depression closed it; the 1960s reopened it as the Alpine Prospectors Lodge, bunking the first wave of skiers who'd come for a different kind of mountain. Since 1992 it's been Grappa, an Italian restaurant—silver to snow to supper, one address.
