SALT LAKE CITY
Major renovations to the lobby and meeting/banquet space recently unveiled at the Salt Lake Marriott Downtown at City Creek aim to capture the beauty of the surrounding mountains to provide a refreshing new experience for business and leisure travelers.
From the second visitors walk through the door they will feel the serenity of the reimagined lobby. Designers embraced natural elements to bring in the magnificent landscape of the surrounding area. A stone art sculpture behind the front desk replicates the mountain range encircling the capital city and is highlighted with a wall-washer to exemplify the ever-shifting shadows of the hills. The welcome counter is clad in a rough, natural stone to represent the face of a mountain crag. Carpet resembling earth elements complements the sandstone, snow white, twilight lavender gray and sunrise fuchsia colors that epitomize the changing light of the vibrant outdoors. A honeycomb divider wall speaks for the beehive represented in the Utah state seal and the state slogan "Industry." Artifacts and artwork strategically placed around the lobby have regional relevance.
A common thread of color weaves from the entrance to the meeting rooms and consistently becomes more vibrant to inspire business professionals in town for a conference or convention or embolden brides and grooms who are just beginning their lives together within the event venues of the Salt Lake City hotel. The pre-function area, ideal for meet-and-greets, registration tables and any number of warm-up activities, features carpet inspired by a topographical aerial view of Salt Lake City.
That theme continues in the Grand Ballroom with 14,025 square feet that can accommodate up to 2,000 people. New light fixtures boast undulating waves emulating mountaintops and crystal drops to simulate falling snow. The Salt Lake meeting room offers high-speed Internet access and state-of-the-art audio and visual equipment.
The Salt Lake City hotel's certified events staff will work with groups to customize menus to achieve your vision for your event and that stay within budget.
