Entry rate NC Book a hotel in Salt Lake City → The place The hotel is planned for 370 South West Temple in downtown Salt Lake City, near the Delta Center sports arena, the Salt Palace Convention Center and City Creek Center.
The concept The Domain Companies is developing a 10-storey, ground-up Kimpton at 370 South West Temple, with construction financing of roughly $102 million from Cottonwood Group closing in March 2026. The architect, Solomon Cordwell Buenz, also designed Astra Tower, Utah's tallest building, and The Worthington, both large residential towers, giving the project a pedigree in Salt Lake City's recent high-rise wave. It will be Kimpton's second Salt Lake City property, after Hotel Monaco, and Cottonwood Group's chief investment officer cited the city's growing economy and tourism metrics as the draw for financing it.
Dining & wellness Planned amenities include a rooftop bar, a restaurant, indoor and outdoor terraces, valet parking, a fitness centre and roughly 7,000 square feet of meeting and event space.
Our take A straightforward, well-financed downtown build rather than a conversion story: the $102 million construction loan closing in March 2026 is a concrete signal this one is genuinely under way, even with two years still to run before the targeted 2028 completion.

Me and my daughter stayed here for my mother's funeral and we were traveling with two cats and had an absolutely amazing stay.
The rooms were quiet and clean our cats had no problem adjusting to the rooms especially because they were quiet and spacious.
We were in a double queen with a city view. The staff was amazing and even sent up a little condolence snack that was there when we got back from the funeral. My daughter wasn't happy the cats were disturbed but that turned out to be a complete non issue, the room service staff did slightly ignore the DND and that's probably because it was covered with the no makeup service tag.
The cats were the reason for the DND but they did not seem to be upset about the visit at all and indicated to us that they had interacted with the service personnel and were actually even more relaxed after that so I'm pretty sure they used the toys we had there to play with them for a minute.
The vault was an awesome atmosphere to grab a quick night cap after the funeral with great bar tenders that clearly care about the place they work and are actively trying to better the experience.
The toiletries were great and much appreciated and of great quality, great shower with a slightly overkill showerhead. Overall we had no issues with the provided services.
The Bambara was also amazing with my picky daughters requests while still allowing me to have a wonderful breakfast. She wanted plain over done scrambled eggs and me not realizing they would still try to fancy up that didn't ask to have them plain as day over cooked scrambled eggs. They came out with chives and she was not happy about the added greenery. But they were very accommodating when sending those back for something I'm sure the chefs thought were destroyed and they even had them right out for her. On top of that I went and got Yannis Greek take out a childhood favorite of mine, one that my mom used to take me too all the time and the fries were unsalted for my daughter's taste, they had no problem providing a small side of salt no questions asked.
I do wish I had the time to utilize the others services they provided and the only real complaint I even had is the ice and water machines were a pain to get them to dispense ice or water.
I recently stayed at the Kimpton Monaco in Salt Lake City, and while the hotel itself is great, it was the incredible staff that truly made my experience unforgettable.
I cannot say enough good things about the team here. The customer service from both the front desk and the valet team was absolutely world-class. A huge, heartfelt thank you to Emily, Russel, Dallin, Sebastian, Carl, Sophie, and Trevor. Every single one of them was genuinely warm, attentive, and went completely out of their way to make me feel welcome. It is rare to find a hotel where every interaction with the staff leaves you smiling, but this team nails it. They are the absolute heart of this hotel.
As for the property itself, the location is phenomenal and incredibly convenient for getting around. If I had to note any downsides, the rooms do feel a bit small for the price point, and the hotel doesn't have a pool.
However, the outstanding service and overall fantastic vibe more than made up for it. I would absolutely stay here again just to experience that level of hospitality. Highly recommended!
Comfortable and modern hotel with an excellent location near the convention center. The room was well furnished and had everything I needed, including bathrobes, which was a nice touch.
The view wasn’t anything special, but that didn’t take away from the overall stay. The lobby area was spacious and worked well for getting some work done and even taking a quick Zoom call.
Staff were friendly and easygoing throughout my stay, which made the experience even better. The bar downstairs was lively on a Friday night and added a nice energy to the place.
Overall, a solid stay. I’d definitely come back again.
Randy Breiter Jayson · 5/5 We had a wonderful time here. We didn’t rent a car, but it was a good decision since everything was so walkable. Their coffee and tea bar in the mornings saved us a headache. The food at their restaurant was delicious, and the hotel manager, Catherine, was just the epitome of amazing costumer service (even noticing it was my fiancé’s birthday from his ID)! The entire staff was just lovely.
We stayed here for one night while we visited Thanksgiving Point, Liberty Park, and Tinker's Cat Cafe. The hotel was beautiful and clean. All the staff members were exceptionally kind, well-informed, and welcoming. The valets were prompt and friendly. Special shout-out to Ayen, who took care of us at the front desk. She is very welcoming and thoughtful.
We were upgraded to a suite, which was a lovely surprise. The room was spacious, clean, and quiet. Overall one of the nicest hotels we've ever stayed at!
