Some holidays deserve more than a single afternoon. Easter weekend is one of them, and The Grand America Hotel in downtown Salt Lake City has everything your family needs to make it a celebration worth savoring from start to finish. From whimsical afternoon tea to an elegant Sunday brunch, a stay or visit here each Easter is the kind of thing families talk about long after the last chocolate egg has been found.

Easter Bunny Tea in the Lobby Lounge

Each spring, the Lobby Lounge becomes the setting for one of the hotel's most beloved seasonal traditions: Easter Bunny Tea. Held in the days leading up to Easter beneath the hotel's iconic hand-blown Venetian chandeliers, this is afternoon tea reimagined for the season, with all the warmth and wonder the holiday brings.

Each service includes an individual pot of loose-leaf tea, delicate tea sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream, and spring-inspired petits fours crafted by Executive Pastry Chef Xavier Baudinet. The Easter Bunny himself makes his way through the Lounge for photos and visits, creating moments the little ones will be talking about all spring. Reservations are strongly encouraged as this beloved event fills up quickly each year.

Easter Sunday Brunch at Laurel Brasserie and Bar

On Easter Sunday, Laurel Brasserie and Bar transforms into a festive setting for a five-star brunch that has become an annual tradition for Salt Lake City families. Chef-manned stations showcase seasonal spring ingredients alongside beloved Grand America classics, making it an ideal gathering place for the whole family. It is an elegant, unhurried way to spend Easter morning together, and children 4 and under always dine complimentary.

A Weekend Worth Staying For

If you really want to make the most of the holiday, plan to stay the weekend. The Grand America's indoor pool gives the kids a place to splash and play between festivities, a welcome break that keeps energy high and spirits higher. When it is time for a treat, Bonne Vie , the hotel's beloved French patisserie located just off the lobby, is open daily. Stop in for a house-baked croissant and a perfectly pulled espresso to start the morning, or let the kids choose from a colorful case of classic French pastries in the afternoon. Named for the French phrase meaning "the good life," Bonne Vie lives up to its name at every hour.

And if you are traveling with little ones, do not miss JouJou , The Grand America's charming in-house toy boutique. Whether you are looking to tuck something special into an Easter basket or simply want to delight a child mid-stay, JouJou is a destination in its own right.

A Hotel That Makes the Holiday

Easter at The Grand America is more than a meal or an event. It is an experience that unfolds over the course of a weekend, one that balances the elegance the hotel is known for with the kind of genuine family joy that makes the season special. Downtown Salt Lake City provides a beautiful backdrop, and everything you need for an unforgettable holiday is right here under one roof.
