The Best Hotel in Salt Lake City, Utah

Background Illustration for Hotels

Luxury grand hotels, intimate bed-and-breakfasts, reliable national "all suites" chains—Salt Lake City has plenty of options when it comes to resting your head at night. Lodgings here cater to skiers in winter months, and many offer ski packages, transportation, and equipment-rental options, as well as knowledgeable staff who are probably on the slopes when they're not at work. Most of the hotels are concentrated in the downtown area and west of the airport, but there are also numerous options to the south of Salt Lake proper and closer to the canyon areas, where there are several high-tech companies and corporate headquarters.

The Grand America Hotel

$$$$ | 555 S. Main St., UT, 84101, USA Fodor's Choice

Built to impress dignitaries and celebs attending the 2002 Winter Olympics, this 24-story luxury tower is Salt Lake City's most opulent hotel, a huge complex with similarly huge rooms (averaging 700 square feet), most of them with balconies and sweeping views. Inside the beveled-glass and brass doors, you step into a world of Italian marble floors and walls and pure old-world style—think English wool carpets, French furniture and tapestries, and colorful Murano-glass chandeliers.

  • Big, sumptuous rooms
  • Excellent pool and plush full-service spa
  • Closer to Granary District than many downtown hotels
