Overview

Nestled against the stunning Wasatch Mountains, Salt Lake City offers visitors a blend of outdoor adventure, culture, and history. Explore the iconic Temple Square, visit the renowned Natural History Museum of Utah, stroll downtown, and enjoy a diverse dining scene.

1. Grand America Hotel

Conde Nast Traveler says, “From looks alone, you’d be forgiven for assuming the Grand America Hotel was nestled somewhere in the European Alps, as opposed to Salt Lake City’s Wasatch Rockies. Adorned with layered drapery, ornate woodwork, and velvet upholstered desk chairs, the spacious guest rooms feel presidential. The property embraces all the fun of life in Salt Lake City. Snowbirds have their choice of nine ski resorts within an hour’s drive of the hotel, families looking to cool off for the summer can dive into the indoor and outdoor pools, and art buffs can tour through the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art in the day and catch a show from the celebrated Ballet West company at night. But for those looking to stay hyperlocal, the Grand America has menus and venues in-house for every occasion, and the Grand Spa’s full-service specialty treatments are unparalleled in the American West.”

Presidential Suite

The paneling featured throughout the 2,200-sq.ft. Presidential Suite is made of Anegre wood, a unique West African wood selected for its warm golden tone, lustrous sheen, and unusual grain. There is a dining table for 10, a living room for entertaining, and a large master bedroom.

2. Asher Adams

Conde Nast Traveler says, “Arrival at Asher Adams feels more like a grand departure into Salt Lake’s golden age. The facade is a stunning architectural handshake: the restored 1908 Union Pacific Depot—all French Second Empire brick and limestone—stands in contrast to a sleek, curvilinear modern tower. From the moment I stepped into the grandiose lobby (dubbed the Grand Hall), an entrance that commands attention, it was clear this is a place rooted in both heritage and design. Beneath soaring 14-foot domed ceilings and original stained glass, the air was abuzz with a new-frontier kind of energy. The lobby, with its bar, vintage photo booth, and live event space, acts as the hotel’s social heartbeat with loads of good company.”

Tower Adams Penthouse Suite

The 930-sq.ft. suite offers separate living and dining space, including a welcoming corner couch, sleek wet bar, table for five, and entryway bath for your guests. Take in fresh mountain air and sweeping views from your west-facing private balcony.

3. Kimpton Hotel Monaco

Michelin Guides writes, “The fact that Salt Lake City has got a hotel like the Kimpton Hotel Monaco Salt Lake City is proof that there’s plenty for a well-traveled, cosmopolitan guest to love about Utah’s biggest city. It has got Victorian bones, like many of SLC’s downtown buildings, but inside, the Monaco is no nostalgia act — the style pays homage to the early 20th century, but the look is contemporary boutique design through and through. The comforts are thoroughly up to date as well, and the little Kimpton extras, like the pet-friendly policy and the evening social hour, underscore the friendly aspect of Salt Lake. Bambara, the restaurant, makes good use of what was once a bank lobby, and the Vault is among the city’s finest cocktail bars.”

Monte Carlo Suite

The 750-sq.ft. Monte Carlo Suite offers a separate living room with a queen-size sleeper sofa. It offers northern and eastern views of Salt Lake City.

4. Le Meridien Salt Lake City

The Telegraph reports, “Situated a five-minute walk from the Salt Palace Convention Center and the Delta Center, guests love the convenient, walkable area. There is a highly rated rooftop pool, gym, and bar, which provide excellent city views. The hotel features unfinished loft-style ceilings. Opinions are mixed on this aesthetic, with users loving the vibe, and others finding it mismatched or slightly unpolished.”

One Bedroom Corner Suites

The 775-sq.ft. One Bedroom Corner Suites offer a separate living/dining area and stunning 180-degree views.
