4- and 5-star hotels in Salt Lake City
This shortlist gathers 15 four- and five-star hotels in Salt Lake City, from a 5-star landmark on South Main Street to airport properties and small independent stays. It is for travellers weighing up downtown convenience, quieter residential settings or an early flight.
Staying in Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City pairs a compact, walkable downtown with mountain scenery close at hand. Temple Square, the Salt Palace Convention Center and the Utah State Capitol sit in the centre, while the Wasatch Range and the Great Salt Lake lie beyond the city. Ski resorts in the range are within an hour's drive of downtown, and the airport is about seven miles west of the centre.
Most hotels on this list cluster in Downtown, their addresses on South Main Street, West Temple, South State Street and West Broadway, all within roughly 1 km of the centre. A few sit further out: on De Soto Street on Capitol Hill, on East 900 South, on South 1000 East, and one near the airport at Wiley Post Way. The mix suits couples booking a downtown base, families wanting pools and family rooms, business travellers near the convention centre, and short-break visitors who prefer to walk.
