The Grand America Hotel

With its white Bethel-granite exterior, this 24-story luxury hotel dominates the landscape a few blocks south of downtown. 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.

Travelers may come for northern Utah's breathtaking grand peaks (visible from downtown Salt Lake City), but equally remarkable is the towering presence of the 24-story Grand America Hotel. The massive white-stone building is a landmark in downtown Salt Lake City, punctuating the urban skyline while reflecting the dusky purple high desert sunsets from the windows of its 775 rooms.

This 775-room property is the most luxurious in Salt Lake City, and offers guests old-world charm on a grand scale. Its classic style is characterized by warm wood paneling, Italian marble accents, Venetian chandeliers, and wrought iron or white balustrade balconies that overlook well-groomed courtyards.

Inspired by the charm of Europe's classic hotels, the Grand was crafted from the finest materials, such as Italian chandeliers and marble, West African woods and French tapestries. ... If you've brought the family, you may want to consider a suite; pick up a kid kit or inquire about the baby’s first program.

The elegantly appointed Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City offers an afternoon tea on weekdays that's delightful for adults and kids alike.
