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 Little America Hotel

$$ | 500 S. Main St., UT, 84101, USA

This enormous but reliably comfortable hotel stands in the shadow of its world-renowned and much more expensive sister property, but Little America has even more rooms and its own loyal following. You can choose between spacious "tower" rooms inside the 17-story main building or garden rooms with private entrances. There's an attractive lobby warmed by a fireplace, and elegant details such as brass railings, chandeliers, and marble-accented bathrooms. The spacious guest rooms are conservatively furnished, but with richly textured fabrics and plush seating.

Pros

  • Large indoor-outdoor pool
  • Trees make the courtyard an oasis
  • Closer to Granary District than many downtown hotels

Cons

  • Restaurants and bar are rather ordinary
  • Huge property that can feel a little impersonal
  • Sometimes packed with conventioneers
