We treated ourselves to a stay at the Grand America this past summer to celebrate our son’s wedding and our upcoming 10th anniversary. We had a truly wonderful experience and would definitely stay again! The staff are incredible, the rooms and property expansive and elegant, food excellent, and views amazing!
We each stayed in the executive view 1 king suites – and these rooms are lavish! They have a separate living room, giant marble jetted tub with separate shower and toilet rooms, French doors, and TWO balconies with gorgeous views of Salt Lake City.
My DIL and I came the day before for an afternoon tea in the lounge and afterwards the concierge was gracious enough to give us a tour of the rooms and the spa pool and facilities. PRO TIP – be sure to ask for the west facing rooms for incredible sunset views! You won’t regret it!
I handled all the bookings online myself (very easy) and surprised the kids with some cakes and macarons as well as their “Grand Celebration Cake” since the poor kids didn’t even get themselves a wedding cake lol!! The cake was absolutely gorgeous and so delicious – the kids loved it and told me they had a great time cutting it together later that night – it made their day so thank you Grand America!!
I also surprised the hubby with a “confection collection sampler” for our anniversary which comes with four small slices of a variety of their cakes. There was a blueberry cheesecake, a chocolate moose cake, chocolate tart, and tiramisu. Omg their cakes are FANTASTIC!! Every single one of them. Highly recommend!
Before dinner we all had fun swimming in their indoor spa pool and then relaxing in the hot tub. It’s such a beautiful indoor pool area with incredible views, tons of lounges to relax on, and chic spa vibes. After we cleaned up, we all had dinner in the on site restaurant, The Laurel, and ommggg that food was off the charts amazing. We will definitely be coming back here again.
The hotel is extensive with several food options and shops. Everything about it is grand opulence – giant chandeliers everywhere surrounded by marble, rich colors, and historic furniture pieces. It really is like staying in a French chateau.
We saw so many guests wandering around in their robes which was so funny – and after our morning swim we did it too haha! We wandered down to the little French cafe in our robes and had breakfast LOL! Our stay was such a treat – nothing but fun, relaxation, opulence and extravagance!
Tysm to all the staff for making our celebrations that much more special! We’ll definitely be back!
