This is an amazing hotel to stay at if you want to feel like a King or Queen. We recently used the Grand America as a spot for our wedding party to get ready for the wedding and had a great experience. We had the Executive suite and was able to fit 8 bridesmaids, 6 Make up and Hair people and about 6 more friends and family. The room was a great size and the view was great! It was also very clean and everything was so beautiful.The only thing I would complain about and the reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5, is that I have stayed at this hotel about 5 times now and each time I get the worst sleep. The beds are very uncomfortable and the pillows are terrible. I really hope they upgrade to better mattresses and pillows. Ok so that is the only negative thing I have to say but other than that I loved it. We also ordered room service and the food was hot and delicious. When we were ready to check out, we called down for help and a bellman was at our door in minutes! Great Hotel and I would recommend this to anybody for a special event!

We stayed at the Grand America for our wedding night because we hadn't left for our honeymoon yet. The resorts in Park City are very expensive in the winter, so the Grand America was our next option for a nice place to stay at a price that we could afford. We got the honeymoon package which included bathrobes and slippers that we got to keep, a rose in the room, truffled, and a $100 resort credit that we used for a very large in-room breakfast and some stuff out of the mini fridge. The room was really nice and I love the bathrooms at the Grand America. It's really nice to have a soaking tub and a separate shower with marble floors and countertops. All of the staff were very professional and polite. We even had a hand-written card in our room congratulating us on our wedding. Parking is also included if you stay at the hotel.

Seriously a wonderful experience working with them! They offered everything we needed and went above and beyond their call of duty. From flowers, to a beautiful room set up just right, even a special menu for me (the bride) to account for my allergies. The cake was beautiful (and delicious) and the wedding was just perfect. Couldn't have asked for a better day!

Having our wedding ceremony and reception happen at the Grand America Hotel was a dream come true! The elegance was amazing and it was all a very classy experience. We were embraced with luxury the whole way, and we definitely were treated like royalty. I could not recommend this place enough! Nicole Rock is an amazing person to work with. She was the one who made the events in the Grand spectacular and smooth-running. I reminisce on that spectacular day every day. I deeply wish I could go back and experience is all over again! No changed whatsoever.

Our wedding coordinator was amazing. Everything ran smoothly- the event and planning. Every single email/text/phone call was responded to promptly. There were only solutions- not problems. The food was very tasty, matching the high quality of service that accompanied it. I'm so grateful that we went with Grand America as it made for a most enjoyable wedding experience. And the price was very reasonable- equal to that of several other venue/reception sites in SLC. Lexi is fantastic.

I would like to commend Lexi Casalino, the Catering Sales Manager Wedding Specialist, for a job well done for our son's prewedding dinner. I was arranging this from St Louis and was not sure about the quality of service we would get. Fortunately, we got Lexi who was very efficient and professional. The venue was elegant and just the right size for our number of guests. The food was delicious and well presented. The catering staff was very attentive throughout the event. Everybody enjoyed the party. We'll do it again at Grand America if we have a chance.

Thanks, Lexi.

Sincerely,
Drs. Fred and Anita Chu

The Grand America was amazing. Not only is the venue beautiful, but the staff were so attentive and wonderful to work with. From the first time you go to see the venue, you are assigned a coordinator who takes care of everything. This is a one stop shop for a wedding; they take care of food, linens, setup, cleanup, hair, makeup, tables, chairs, the cake, servers, etc. It was a wonderful thing knowing that our families we able to enjoy this special day instead of worrying about all the little details.

So Grand America can also do small parties.

I did my engagement luncheon there with only 30 people. The room on the third floor has a patio overlooking the gardens. It was awesome view and the photos come out awesome.

Well, we all know this five star hotel is no cheap but the lunch came out awesome. The entree portions twice as big as what I was expecting to see and the grilled salmon and mushroom risotto were delicious. The pastries were delicious too.

The only and minor downside was that staff didn't see the drink choices on place cards and started giving champagne to a recovering AA. :/ I was able to wave server and save that on time though.

The staff was super attentive and worked the timeline with me. The banquet manager gave me her cell phone and I was able to text her during the lunch if I needed anything.

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The Grand is Salt Lake's premier wedding and reception venue and it's for good reason! The grounds are immaculately maintained and beautiful, the decor is classic and timeless, and the halls are large enough to accommodate all those guests that your mom and aunt keep inviting. Beautiful Place for a wedding!

I LOVE conducting wedding ceremonies at the Grand America. They are first class all the way. Professional from start to finish. Couples who wed there tell me they couldn't ask for a better experience. So you not only have the excellent service from Grand America's coordinators, but the hotel itself is amazing. The ballrooms are stunning and the grounds offer a spectacular background for those beautiful wedding pictures. You simply can't go wrong with the Grand America.
