If you’re looking for fine accommodations in Salt Lake City, you won’t find a better hotel than the Grand America. Located in the heart of the west Downtown hotel district of Salt Lake City, this European-inspired establishment has been modeled after the world’s grand hotels. Boutique-inspired, this hotel has been appointed with only the best in furniture, décor and conveniences. And though Utah has many first-rate hotels, you’d be hard-pressed to find another with Italian marble bathrooms and English wool carpets in every room.

Because of its impeccable attention to detail and thoroughness of services, the Grand America is one of the most accolade-decorated hotels in the United States. Winning inclusion in Condé Nast’s 2011 “Top 200 Hotels in the United States,” the AAA Five-diamond Award 2005-2012, and even a spot in Forbes Traveler’s 2008 “World’s 400 Best Hotels,” Grand America recently added yet another award to this list: Best of State 2012 “Best Hotel.” And though Grand America has already claimed this Utah-wide award multiple times in the past, it’s reassuring to know that the hotel still has what it takes.

So if details matter to you, and you’re into French cherry wood furniture and chandeliers from Milan and Murano, consider treating yourself to Utah’s best hotel. Situated within walking distance of Downtown, 10 minutes of the Salt Lake International Airport, and very near the interstate beltway–and therefore all ski resorts and mountain attractions–the 775 rooms and suites of the Grand America have an ideal location for all business and pleasure travelers.
