Hand-crafted wallpaper. Murano glass chandeliers. English wool carpets. The interiors of The Grand America Hotel are unmistakable and inimitable. While these intricate designs are displayed throughout the hotel, these elements come together in precisely stunning ways in our meeting and special events spaces. But much like Salt Lake City itself, the defining strength of The Grand America’s design is the way it coordinates with and complements the scenic natural beauty that surrounds the hotel on all sides, and why so many of these event spaces are intentionally designed to offer the very best of the beauty inside and outside.
Rooms with a view
In The Grand Salon, every inch makes an impression. Mirrored walls framed by Italian marble columns, soaring 24-foot-high ceilings with a custom crystal chandelier as its centerpiece, arched windows inviting in natural light from the courtyard, every event in The Grand Salon is hard to forget. But the crown jewel of this spectacular space is its adjoining access to the Grand Salon Patio. With nearly 2,500 square feet of private open-air space, the Grand Salon Patio is the hotel’s tucked-away, secret garden. Whether dressed up for mid-meeting breakouts or lit up for magical after-hours socials, the beauty of the patio is the perfect complement to the Grand Salon itself.
For a fresh perspective, elevate your event with the views from the Fontainebleau and Vienna meeting rooms. These 622 square foot spaces open out onto their own private terraces. Perfect for cocktail hours, your attendees can take in the full view of the Wasatch Mountains and the scenic Salt Lake City skyline. These light and bright rooms are completely versatile and can accommodate small banquets, large classroom setups, or even rows of theater seating.
Or want to put the beauty of the outdoors at the center of your indoor event? Bathed in natural light and with close proximity to the Center Courtyard, the Murano and Venezia Garden Salons give events the feeling of being among the gardens but with the privacy and quiet that comes with meeting indoors. With windows framing the trimmed hedges and blooming flower beds in the Courtyard, these salons have full audio-visual capabilities and can accommodate nearly 180 attendees.
Front and center
A testament to The Grand America’s commitment to even the smallest details, the Center Courtyard always leaves a lasting impression. With meticulously groomed gardens and finely trimmed lawns, and a bubbling fountain in the central plaza, your attendees can take in 360-degree views of The Grand tower, the downtown skyline, and the Wasatch mountains all within the castle-like walls of the hotel. Whether featuring live performances or hosting large banquet dinners, this 35,000 sq. ft. open air space will make your meeting the main event.
