Twenty-Five Years of The Grand America Hotel

We are celebrating 25 years of The Grand America, and 60 years of our sister property Little America. All year long, we are sharing the stories, people, and moments that have defined this hotel, and we would love for you to be part of it. Let this anniversary be your reason to celebrate with us.

The Story of The Grand America

Established 2001

Built to welcome the world to the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, The Grand America Hotel opened its doors as a statement of what hospitality in Salt Lake City could be. Designed as a European hotel of American scale, every detail from the Italian marble and Murano glass chandeliers to the hand-curated art collection was chosen with intention. For 25 years, this hotel has been a gathering place for milestones, a backdrop for memories, and a constant presence in the heart of a growing city.

Twenty-Five Years of Stories

You Belong Here

The milestones, the traditions, the moments you did not plan but will never forget, those are the stories that make this place what it is. A hotel is only as meaningful as the people who fill it, and for twenty-five years, you have filled this one with something extraordinary. We are gathering those memories to celebrate everything this anniversary truly represents, and we would love for your story to be part of it.
