Like a living museum, downtown Salt Lake City's Grand America Hotel appeals to all the senses. Its oak-lined hallways are adorned with 18th century tapestries, bronze sculptures and original works of art, and sumptuous guestrooms and suites feature floor-to-ceiling woodwork, lush brocades, French Richlieu furnishings and spectacular mountain views from private balconies. Dining is a pleasure with a menu of American seasonal cuisine, and relaxing is equally divine: Enjoy harp music in front of a fire, drift in the magnificent indoor pool or savor a massage at the spa.

We travel a lot, and this hotel is amazingly good. No noise at all, great view, friendly staff, wonderful pool, good location, all works perfectly, top parking below hotel more than enough space. Bridger of front staff did good communication before arrival. Best hotel.

Despite the name, the hotel is fairly different from a typical American hotel these days, in a good way. To begin with the hotel has a nice, old schooled vibe, with music performances happening from time to time. There are stores and restaurants on the first floor, classical atmosphere to admire, and a beautiful garden you can visit day or night. It's interesting that they did not choose to put an expensive restaurant in the hotel, the food prices here were reasonable, the cost of parking was also very reasonable for a 5-star hotel (note though that the parking lot is a maze) I stayed in an executive suite and it was a one bedroom suite. The room was very large, In particular the bathroom area. It had a classical yet slightly extravagant style. It also featured a small balcony you can walk out to, which is very rare for a hotel in cities, a huge, executive style desk and upscale amenities. Despite this the room rate was reasonable which was the main reason I picked this hotel. There were a few small issues, such as the temperature felt a bit inconsistent and the room was pretty dry. But nothing major. Location wise it's just outside of the downtown so it's quieter here, while still close to everything. There's even a light rail passing right outside of the hotel. The views on the higher floor was wonderful. Overall while this is not the newest hotel in town it's very well maintained and has a good value for what is has to offer.

I first visited this hotel for dinner back in 2002 during the Winter Olympics and never forgot how beautiful it was. Fortunately, I was able to return this year for one night, as part of the Rocky Mountaineer Canyon Spirit train trip. This hotel has aged gracefully, with a beautiful lobby, reminiscent of the classic hotels in London, Paris and Zurich. My room was a 2-bed suite on the third floor. It had a nice sitting room, a dressing room and large bathroom. The sitting room windows had a view of the pool area. The bedroom had no windows, so it was very quiet at night. The other side of the floor had meeting rooms for meetings and events. The hotel has a number of nice shops on the first floor, along with restaurants and bars, and is within walking distance of many restaurants and cafes. It's a mile away from the Delta Center, for those in town for a game or concert. The service was excellent, from arrival to check-out. I'd recommend this hotel for anyone seeking a memorable luxury hotel experience while visiting Salt Lake City.

An incredible venue with an incredible location. I am not sure that they were ready for 2 road trippers from the UK turning up on the doorstep. The valets were awesome and a huge shout out to them. The room was opulent, luxurious and the bed and our sleep couldn't be faulted. A perfect nights sleep in a wonderful hotel.

Had a wonderful experience at the GRAND America Hotel. Beautiful property, exquisite service, exceptionally friendly staff and the food was outstanding. Can't imagine staying anywhere else when in the Salt Lake City area.

Grand America Hotel — what an incredible place! I enjoyed a luxurious suite, lovely meals, high tea and elegant dining. Spa treatments were wonderful, and the pool and workout room were just right. I was attending a conference and presenting a paper for the first time, and this experience was so wonderful that I was relaxed and pampered. What a find in Salt Lake City!
