We have stayed at this hotel before and that is one of the reasons that we chose to fly home from Salt Lake City. The property is beautiful. The restaurant is very good especially at breakfast. The lounge is very elegant. The only problem was that they give last call at 9:30 PM. We enjoyed the pool and the convenience of many recreational activities such as antelope Island and little Cottonwood, which were both only about a half an hour away. We are still waiting for a refund for our parking which we were double charged for, but I’m sure they will work this out shortly.

Best hotel I've ever had the pleasure of staying

This is by far the most beautiful and luxurious hotel I have ever stayed in. This hotel made the quick trip to SLC absolutely 100% worth the cost of the room. We planned to stay at a hotel nearer to our destination, once we arrived, we quickly changed our booking to the Grand American, thank goodness. Marble floor to ceiling, chandeliers that make you feel like you're in a palace. Beautiful furniture and oh my Lord the gardens! The owners are visionaries who spared no expense to make your stay wonderful. We stayed on the 11th floor, courtyard and mountain view. What a blessing. I have zero negative feedback. The staff were the upmost professional, kind and accommodating. The food at the restaurants was affordable and I actually had the best tasting three cheese and herb omelet (or omelet in general) that I have ever had in my 40 years of living. I wanted to move in and make it my home. Stunning hotel. I could write a book about its detail to charm and beauty. Absolutely worth it!!!

Property was ok. Staff not the best / friendliest / very helpful and clearly judgmental when you see them ignoring certain people and fawning over others that were older and a different appearance. Aging interior / decor and no perks to speak of. Biggest issue is distance from anything of interest and way too many panhandlers and drugs in the immediate vicinity.
