The Very Grand America

Nestled in the downtown area of Salt Lake City with the Wasatch and Oquirrh Mountains on either side is an opulent old world property of American scale. The Grand America is resplendent in exquisite details, offering marble adorned lobby and hallways with the elegance of Italian crystal chandeliers, French cherry-wood furniture and English wool carpeting. There is afternoon tea and often a classical musician playing in the lobby.

Their legendary hospitality begins even before you leave home, when you're contacted about any special requests or advance reservations that you may need. This same level of service is evident throughout your stay from the valet service, to the front desk where water bottles and cookies greet you in the lobby, to the concierges, the spa staff and housekeeping all going beyond what’s expected to make a stay memorable.

The spacious and elegant guestrooms are full of comforts and amenities - lots of wonderful pillows of all types, a nightly turn down service with chocolates, an Italian marble bathroom with huge bathtub and separate shower. Huge walk-in closets come with Robeworks plush robes for your pleasure. The balconies access fresh air and incredible views from virtually every room - the suites on the upper floors overlook the night lights of Salt Lake City.

All of Utah's major ski resorts and Salt Lake City's excellent golf courses are less than an hour's drive from the hotel. Recreational opportunities abound nearby in the magnificent national forests and state parks, several of which can be accessed from the hotel in 40 minutes or less. A trolley just steps from the lobby offers a free ride to the city's shopping, dining, and other attractions

This AAA Five Diamond Hotel is itself a destination with an infinity-edge pool, elegant manicured gardens and The Grand America Spa and Salon offering its guests the peaceful tranquility of soothing, healing treatments. For a warm and gracious experience look no further than this splendid European style hotel providing the charm of the old world with modern luxury and comfort for today's discerning traveler.
