The new Hyatt Regency Salt Lake City, the first Hyatt Regency hotel in Utah and the first convention-centered hotel to open in the state in 20 years, has announced its opening in October. Nearing completion of construction adjacent to the Calvin L. Rampton Salt Palace Convention Center, the hotel brings 700 guest rooms and suites to the downtown area in addition to one of the largest hotel ballrooms and most expansive outdoor rooftop event terraces in the city.{mprestriction ids="1,3"}

“The anticipated opening of the hotel will set a new standard for seamless gatherings, blending the local eclectic style with intuitive design, tech-enabled conveniences and dynamic, energizing spaces for a productive stay,” hotel owners said in a press release.

Located just one block from Salt Lake City’s Main Street, the 25-story hotel features a striking glass façade. The top floors will feature floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the skyline and surrounding mountain peaks. Designed for both business and leisure travelers, accommodations will connect guests with modern essentials along with tech-forward conveniences such as streaming capabilities, a Smart Mirror vanity and digital room entry via the World of Hyatt app.

The lobby, with direct passage to the Salt Palace Convention Center, has a double-sided fireplace, seating areas and locally inspired artwork. The space will also feature three dining venues offering a variety of ambiance from casual to lively, including Contribution, an upscale street-facing bar; The Salt Republic, a spacious open-kitchen American bistro; and Market, a local artisan grab-and-go store. Mar | Muntanya, a Spanish-inspired specialty restaurant, will be housed on the sixth-floor rooftop terrace, located adjacent to an outdoor heated pool, cabanas and firepits.

The Hyatt Regency will have a 60,000-square-foot mix of indoor and outdoor meeting and event facilities suitable for hosting both intimate and large-scale gatherings. Event planners will be available to service the meeting clientele. Included are breakout rooms, pre-function space, an outdoor event terrace and a Broadcast Lounge, enabling meeting guests to experience their event in a hybrid manner.{/mprestriction}
