Twenty-Five Years of The Grand America Hotel
This summer, we are celebrating 25 years of The Grand America, 60 years of our sister property Little America, and the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. All summer 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. Submit your own memory or photo below, and explore everything we have planned for the season.
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.
You Belong Here
Gloria, Venezuela
"We've been coming to The Grand America for years, and it has become so much more than just a hotel to our family — it feels like part of our story."
Sohee, Georgetown, TX
"I told my husband that I wanted a place connected to our engagement and marriage that we could revisit throughout our lives."
Brian, Holladay, UT
"We were married in the elegant, gold Belvedere room… the service and attention that the staff gave our small group made us feel special."
Faces Who Define Us
The People Behind the Hotel
Every tradition, every detail, and every unforgettable moment has been shaped by the people who show up here every day. From long-tenured team members who have spent decades in these halls to guests who return summer after summer, this hotel's story belongs to all of them. Meet Javier Robles, Banquets Director, and just one of the many reasons a stay at The Grand America feels unlike anywhere else.
