Park City, UT · Capacity: 1,270
The George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Center is the largest theater of the Sundance Film Festival — the roughly 1,270-seat anchor for the festival’s star-driven premieres in Park City.
The Eccles Center is the main premiere venue of the Sundance Film Festival, where the year's breakout independent films debut each January in the snowy ski town of Park City, Utah — the indie film world's annual gathering.
Park City pairs the festival with world-class skiing and a historic Main Street.

A Canyons Village property from Hyatt — the official hotel partner of the Sundance Film Festival — with ski access and an on-site restaurant. It draws attendees who want a recognized full-service hotel with shuttle and transit access to Main Street venues.
A ski-in/ski-out resort with one- and two-bedroom villas at the base of Park City Mountain, a short walk to historic Main Street. The kitchen-equipped villas suit festival-goers staying the full 11 days, and it is an official Sundance lodging property.
A 12-room luxury boutique hotel inside an 1889 stone schoolhouse, steps from Main Street and the Town Lift. Its tiny room count, central location and concierge service make it a sought-after Sundance base, and it is an official festival lodging partner.
The original High West distillery and saloon — the first legally licensed distillery in Utah since Prohibition — a block off Main Street at the base of the Town Lift. It is a documented host of Sundance attendees and a standard stop on festival bar crawls.
A Park City institution in a 1905 building, with a Western main bar, loft and rooftop patio, famous for its buffalo burger. It is a documented Sundance gathering spot — first-come, first-served and no reservations, so lines form during the festival.
A Main Street bar and grill that hosts live music nearly every night and pours cocktails built on local spirits, including its house Spur Whiskey. Its central Main Street location and near-nightly music make it a reliable festival-week hangout in the pedestrianized core.
A Main Street New American restaurant named by Salt Lake Magazine among the Park City restaurants serving through the festival. Its on-the-street location keeps it within walking distance of Main Street venues when the street is closed to cars during Sundance.
A seasonally driven small-plates New American restaurant from chef Briar Handly, sourcing local and regional ingredients, just off the foot of Main Street. Its lively atmosphere makes it a known festival-time spot — reservations are essential during Sundance.
An upscale New American restaurant in Park City’s renovated Masonic Hall on Main Street, a long-running Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star recipient with live music. Its prime Main Street address makes it a Sundance-week destination for industry dinners.
