It’s my pleasure to extend greetings on behalf of Salt Lake County’s one million residents. When you venture out, you will see this truly is the place to enjoy a variety of sights, sounds and activities, whether you are here on business or on vacation. Fall is a great time for crisp air, changing mountain foliage and fun local festivals. During the winter months, Salt Lake sparkles like the snow that frosts our mountain peaks. In the Salt Lake valley, there’s endless opportunity for shopping, dining, theater, museums or any number of lively nightspots to check out. Everything is close and inviting. At every turn, you’ll likely run into a friendly local who is happy to answer questions or suggest options. Our Rocky Mountain home is the enviable combination of the rugged outdoors and metropolitan comfort. As mayor of Salt Lake County, I welcome you to our community and extend my best wishes for an enjoyable stay.

Getting oriented You don’t really need your GPS in SLC. The city is built on a grid, and there’s public transit everywhere. You’ll soon learn that Salt Lake is a web of neighborhoods. Salt Lake is a planned city. Streets throughout the Salt Lake Valley are patterned on a grid system, at the center of which is Temple Square, the spiritual and historical headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Streets extending outward are named for their directional distance from the Temple: The

From there, the street numbers increase by the hundred for every block. For example, one street south of South Temple is 100 South, the next street is 200 South, and so on. To the

Neighborhoods like Sugarhouse, the Avenues, Foothill, Federal Heights and the urban center combine with public transit to produce a walkable, bikeable lifestyle envied by other cities. SLC also contains a wealth of tourist attractions, including Temple Square, the architecturally significant Downtown Library and the restored Utah Capitol.
Mountain Resorts
The mountains and canyons are Salt Lake’s playground and no visit to Salt Lake is complete without a foray into the high country. The valley’s slice of the Wasatch Range is divided by several canyons, each providing access to variety of outdoor pursuits. On the southernmost edge of the Salt Lake Valley proper is Little Cottonwood Canyon, home to Alta (State Hwy 210, 801-3591078, alta.com) and Snowbird (State Hwy 210, 800-232-9542, snowbird.com) resorts. Here you
can hike, bike or horseback ride through the 50,000 acres of pristine wilderness on the backside of the resort’s Mineral Basin area. Or stop by the Alta Lodge (10230 E. State Hwy 210, 800-707-2582, altalodge.com) for a yoga class, eye-popping wildflower walk or brunch with a view.The next canyon to the north is Big Cottonwood Canyon where

hunter-orange flags? In 2000, the city installed blazing orange crosswalk flags and holders at crosswalks across the city. Carry and wave flags as mightily as you wish when you cross to alert the folks in the cars. The crosswalk flag program has resulted in a 31 percent decrease in pedestrian injury accidents.
What’s up with the… chirping signs? Our downtown crosswalks chirp with two different signals for blind pedestrians and to create a certain avian ambience. We also give you a handy countdown to aid you in crossing our unusually wide streets.
What’s up with the… green Bikes? A great way to tour SLC’s downtown is on a snazzy bike with a basket for your shopping treasures. When you’re done, just return to one of the convenient Bike Share stations. Endless halfhour trips for $5 a day or $15 a week. greenbikeslc.org

east of Main Street is State Street, which runs from the Utah State Capitol building to the end of the valley. The next block east of Main Street is 200 East. Don’t be surprised when you hear streets referred to as “Ninth East” or “Second South.” That’s just verbal shorthand for 900 East and 200 South respectively. And keep in mind, while navigating Salt Lake City’s tidy grid layout, the blocks are typically larger than most metropolitan blocks. Here you’ll find seven blocks to the mile compared to the usual 10 to a mile elsewhere. The Wasatch Range provides another quick orientation check. Like most mountain ranges in the United States, the Wasatch runs north–south, flanking Salt Lake City’s eastern edge. The cities and towns along these mountains (from Ogden in the north to Provo in the south) are often referred to as the Wasatch Front. The range to the distant west is the Oquirrh Mountains. So, if the Wasatch Mountains are to your right, you’re facing north; if on the left, you’re facing south. To ease your orientation to Salt Lake, Visit Salt Lake has divided the valley into areas (see map on left):

hike, bike, and on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at Solitude, play disc golf. Hitch a ride on Solitude’s Sunrise triple chair for high-altitude hiking and mountain biking. From there, visitors may explore miles of single track on Diggler Scooters or mountain bikes or on foot. For something a bit more cardiovascular, hike from the trailhead 2.8 miles to the base of a beautiful waterfall flowing through a hollowed ring inside the rock. (Donut Falls! Get it? ) It’s a fun place for a picnic while the kids scramble on the rocks. Stop for a beer or cocktail and watch the hummingbirds at funky Silver Fork Lodge (11332 E.

Emigration and City Creek are the next two canyons to the north. Take 800 South (Sunnyside Avenue) past Utah’s Hogle Zoo (2600 Sunnyside Ave., 801-582-1631, hoglezoo.org) to the mouth of Emigration Canyon, home to one of Salt Lake’s most popular breakfast venues, Ruth’s Diner (4160 Emigration Canyon Rd., 801-582-5807, ruthsdiner.com). Don’t miss the mile-high biscuits. For an easy access city-to-wilderness jog or stroll, head up City Creek Canyon behind the State Capitol Building. This canyon is closed to cars halfway up and paved to the top. (Bikes allowed on odd-numbered calendar days.)

Temple Square and
salt Lake History It’s no accident that Temple Square is both the symbolic center of Salt Lake City and the heart of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. On July 24, 1847, after being driven well beyond the U.S. boundaries for their religious beliefs, the Mormons arrived in what is now known as the Salt Lake Valley. 12

U
pon the arrival of the Latter-day Saints in Utah, Church President Brigham Young declared, “This is the place,” and within four days had chosen the site for the Salt Lake Temple and designed the city’s grid layout. The pioneers called their new state Deseret and petitioned for its national recognition in 1849. The United States Congress instead established the Utah Territory. Early Salt Lake population swelled with an influx of religious converts, making it one of the most populous cities in the American Old West. Polygamy made relations between the Utah Territory and the U.S. government tense for much of the mid-to-late 1800s. Finally, in 1890 the church issued “The Manifesto,” ordering members to obey the government’s marriage laws. Utah achieved statehood six years later. Temple Square is beautifully landscaped and is the No. 1 tourist attraction in Utah. Three of the buildings on the square were built by the pioneers: the magnificent six-spired granite Salt Lake Temple (which took 40 years to complete); the domed Tabernacle, home of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Tabernacle organ; and the Assembly Hall with its white spires and stained glass windows. Two visitors centers offer art galleries, interactive exhibits and an 11-foot replica of Thorvaldsen’s Christus. Private tours of the square are offered in more than 30 languages. The Family History Library, (35 N. West Temple, 801-240-2584, familysearch.org), is the largest repository of genealogical records in the world, and is free to the public. North of Temple Square is the 21,000-seat Conference Center with a waterfall on the south façade and a four-acre garden on the roof (50 W. North

Performances are free, but you must register for tickets at mormontabernaclechoir.org. Check out the Tabernacle Organ Recitals, Monday through Saturday at noon and Sunday at 2 p.m. Sundays also provide chances to catch the Mormon Tabernacle Choir during the Music and the Spoken Word broadcast, Seating begins at 8:30 a.m. in the Conference Center.

An oasis of culture From award-winning micro-breweries and artisanal cocktails to pioneering chefs and a pulsing arts scene, nightlife abounds in Salt Lake City. Utah Liquor Laws Drink like an adult
Besides polygamy, the most pervasive misconception about Utah involves its liquor laws. Yes, you can get a drink in Utah—even on Sundays. With changes in Utah law, the state has seen an explosion of hip nightclubs. Revelers can move between watering holes freely. Common sense and good manners about alcohol consumption, of course, need to be followed.

All occupants of private vehicles should be wearing safety restraints. Children should be secured in car seats or safety belts. Utah also has strict drinking laws. A blood alcohol content of .08 percent or more is considered “driving under the influence,” and you will be arrested and charged with a crime. Also consider that Salt Lake is 4,330 feet above sea level. Consume alcohol cautiously as it has more effect at this altitude, and even more at ski area altitudes of 7,000–11,000 feet.

Things To Do The Lion House
In 1894, the Mormons started gathering genealogical records to help members trace their family histories. The church’s Family History Library (35 N. West Temple, 801-240-2584, familysearch. org) is now the largest of its kind
in the world. In other words, if you’ve come to Salt Lake to find out where your great-great-greatgreat-grandmother was born, you’ve come to the right place. Use of the Family History Library is not limited to Latter-day Saints church members. Anyone can enter the library and use any of the resources to trace their family tree, free of charge. More than 300 computers are available for use in the five-floor,
145,000-square-foot library. Resources here include vital records like birth and death certificates, marriage licenses, census returns, property, probate and cemetery records, among many others. The only catch is that the Family History Library’s collection focuses on persons who lived before 1930—meaning you need to have at least immediate information about your family. This is not the place to look up people you’ve lost touch with in this lifetime. For novice family history researchers, be sure to visit the Family Search Center in the lower floor of the nearby Joseph Smith Memorial Building (50 E. South Temple, 801-240-4085, familysearch.org). The smaller, less-
Family History Library
exhaustive center is home to 100 specially-designed terminals that allow visitors to perform basic searches for family members and dip a toe into the deep waters of genealogical research. More than 4,500 Family History Centers—branches of the Family History Library—operate around the world, making tracing your ancestry near your hometown easy.
The Lion House Lion House Pantry fare is satisfyingly homespun and uncomplicated. Favorites include the turkey pot pie, Coca-Cola pork loin, and the famous rolls. Sit in the Victorian dining room or outside on the patio. But it’s not the food that makes the Lion House really interesting—it’s the building’s past. Brigham Young, who led the Mormon pioneers across the Great Plains to Utah and founded Salt Lake City, lived in both the Lion House and Beehive House next door with 27 wives and 56 children. Young commissioned architect Truman O. Angell, his brother-in-law, to design both houses. Young died in the Lion House in 1877. It’s been a designated National Historic Landmark since 1964. 63 E. South Temple, 801-539-3257, templesquare.com
Using the Library Casual genealogists will want to use the Family Search Center in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building (familysearch.org) where they can get one-on-one help from family history experts. It’s free, has a relaxed atmosphere and offers hands-on activities for kids and teens. Before you go, have your photo taken in front of a backdrop of the wharf at Ellis Island with the Statue of Liberty in the harbor. For serious researchers, The Family History Library is open Mondays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday to Friday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to
5 p.m. Hours may change during holidays. For a full schedule, visit familysearch.org. Start by finding as much information as you can about your ancestors. The library focuses on records before 1930 because of privacy restrictions. Ask for a library worksheet. And bring a big flash drive to save your family history info. You can’t check out books, but you can make copies for five cents each. The library doesn’t have its own parking lot, but you can park at nearby garages or pay for on-street parking at the blue meters (parkingslc.com).

Right in the center of the beating heart of downtown, you can find open-air music from country and bluegrass to hip-hop at the Gallivan Center, or what its promoters like to call “Salt Lake’s Living Room” (50 E. 200 South, 801-535-6110, thegallivancenter.com). If there isn’t an evening concert scheduled, you’ll usually find a movie, lunch-time concerts or some sort of festival bubbling at Gallivan.
Canyons Resort
Rangers, Michele Branch, the Smokey Robinson and the Utah Symphony. Just show up with a blanket, food, wine and a jacket—it can get chilly when the sun goes down. Or, better yet, order the resort’s gourmet picnic baskets that include choices of wine, salmon, chilled beef and artisan cheese.

Game Time
become a local fan Like most American cities, sports are a vital part of life in Salt Lake. Rare is a weekend when the pros (or semi-pros) aren’t tossing or kicking the ball around the court or field. And because Salt Lake has a much smaller population than other major metropolitan areas, tickets are pretty easy to come by.

Real Salt Lake Real Salt Lake emerged from obscurity in November 2009 when they became the Major League Soccer champions. Most recently, RSL was the 2013 MLS Western Conference Champion and the team consistently makes the playoffs. RSL plays at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy,
Salt Lake Bees
(9256 S. State St., 801-727-2700, realsaltlake.com)
just south of Salt Lake (a 15-minute walk from the 9000 S. 200 East TRAX station). The season runs from March through the end of October, with playoffs in November.
The Bees Nothing says summer like sitting in the ball park, a cold brew in one hand, hot dog in the other, passing time, watching America’s pastime. The Salt Lake Bees are the top Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels. The Bees’ home games are April to mid-September at the casual, familyfriendly Smith’s Ballpark (77 W. 1300 South, 801-325-2273, slbees.com). Take a seat or bring a blanket and spread out on the huge lawn on the field’s east and south sides. Games are super-cheap.
Utah Jazz Salt Lake is home to the NBA’s Utah Jazz, which play downtown at the 19,000seat EnergySolutions Area (301 W. South Temple, 801-325-2000, utahjazz.com). The team is in action from October to April. Even when the Jazz aren’t present, basketball fans make a pilgrimage to the plaza where a statue of John Stockton passes to Karl Malone for eternity. EnergySolutions Arena is a concert and event venue and all year long you’ll find something to see, from ice shows to circuses to national rock and country bands.
The Utes Salt Lake City is really at its heart just a big college town and the proud home to the University of Utah Runnin’ Utes football, basketball and gymnastics teams (utahutes.com). All three play in the winter season and all three are rising powers in the world of collegiate athletics. The Utes joined the Pac-12 conference in 2011, elevating its status nationally and boosting the atmosphere on campus and in town to Code Red. Before home football games, every foot of space on campus is packed with tailgating fans, who provide as much excitement and fun as the game itself. The 46,000-seat Rice-Eccles Stadium on the rise east of downtown (451 S. 1400 East, 801-581-5445, stadium.utah.edu) is worth a visit anytime (hop on the TRAX university line). The stadium has been home to concerts ranging from U2 and Rolling Stones to the 2002 Olympic Winter Games Opening and Closing Ceremonies.
Real Monarchs The Real Monarchs soccer club, a seconddivision professional men’s team affiliated with Real Salt Lake, is Utah’s newest pro team and a member of the 24-club United Soccer League. The team’s home field is Rio Tinto Stadium (9256 S. State St., Sandy, realmonarchs.com), but they hope to soon have their own stadium on the west side of Salt Lake City. Visit Salt Lake

Ensign Peak A short drive from downtown hotels and a mile of uphill hiking will earn you a breathtaking panoramic view of Salt Lake City, the Great Salt Lake and the valley’s beloved surrounding mountains. A monument at the summit commemorates Brigham Young’s 1847 climb to survey the Mormon promised land. How to get there: Take State Street north up Capitol Hill, follow the street through the neighborhood as it veers to the right and turns into East Capitol Boulevard. Turn left on to Ensign Vista Trail. You’ll see the trailhead. Apres-hike: A glass of the famous house wine at BTG. (63 W 100 S, 801-359-2814, btgwinebar.com)
Mount Olympus Named after the ‘hood of Greek Gods, this strenuous 7.5-mile, 5,000-foot climb is almost a Salt Lake rite of passage. But any fit hiker can make it to the top if they start early in the day and take it slow. The view from the top is worth the climb.

How to get there: Take 4500 South to Wasatch Boulevard to a big parking area (and you’ll want to be there at 5 a.m. to get a spot on summer weekends). A sign will cue you to the trailhead.

salt lake style Salt Lake is gaining fame as a dining destination because of its unique definition of good eating: deep ties with local farms and growers who provide fresh food to the kitchens, passionate chefs who care more about their craft and pleasing their customers than fame and a warm western sense of casual hospitality. Fine dining is never formal—here, food is another way to have fun.

Best Burger We’ve Got Five For You
Utah is a burger-loving state, and though there are many new and notable restaurants serving cuttingedge cuisine in the city, you shouldn’t leave town without a taste of our burger culture. We’ve got national faves, from D.C.’s Five Guys to California’s In-N-Out, and local chains like Hires Big H and Crown Burgers. Pretty much every restaurant has its own, special burger. These are five of the best.
The Bar Burger Lucky 13 won first place for burgers in the World Food Championships in Las Vegas last year with its specially concocted Spicy Candied Cajun Burger. You can choose from the regular menu of 11 burgers, ranging from the foot-tall “Big Benny” (right) with its 28 ounces of ground chuck to the “Ring of Fire,” topped with jalapeños and habaneros to the Fungus Amongus, featuring mushrooms sauteed in red wine. With so many choices, you’re bound to find one you like–finishing it is another matter. Of course, you’ll eat it with a local brew or High West Whiskey. 135 W. 1300 South, SLC, 801-487-4418, lucky13slc.com
Scott Evans’ little cafe, Pago, has been at the forefront of Salt Lake’s local and artisanal food movement. That doesn’t mean the menu is full of esoterica. In fact, its burger is one of the restaurant’s most famous dishes. This intensely planned sandwich holds a patty of fresh Niman Ranch beef topped with Gruyere, caramelized onions, black garlic aioli, local bacon and house-pickled red onion. Wine expert Evans will be happy to find the perfect pairing from his list or by the glass from his Cruvinet. 878 S. 900 East, SLC, 801-5320777, pagoslc.com

The first thing you notice when you enter Taqueria 27 are the rows of tequila bottles painted, chalkboard-style, on the wall, larger than life. Clearly, this is a tequila-centric restaurant. You’ll find beer and wine on the substantial beverage list, but no other spirits. “We had a customer get really angry because we ‘wouldn’t’ make him a whiskey sour,” he recalls. “We couldn’t make a whiskey sour—we don’t have any whiskey here.” What Taqueria 27 does have is 40 different tequilas to taste: 10 anejos (aged in oak at least a year and a day), 16 reposadas (aged at least 2 months) and 14 silvers (aged no more than 30 days). That’s not counting the ultra premium selections.
Gracie’s Bar 326 S. West Temple, SLC, 801-819-7565, graciesslc.com
Gracie’s calls itself a “gastropub,” meaning that besides live music, mixed drinks, beer and a better-than-most-bars wine list, it offers an interesting and imaginative food menu. Eat on the upstairs patio—one of the best views of downtown against the Wasatch.
Market Street Oyster Bar 54 W. Market St., SLC, 801-531-6044, marketstreetgrill.com
The livelier, night-life side of Market Street seafood restaurant, the Oyster Bar has an extensive beverage menu including seasonal drink specials. To begin or end an evening, have one of the award-winning martinis or a classic, up daiquiri with a dozen oysters—half price on Mondays—or settle in for the night and order from the full seafood menu.

Whiskey Street 323 S. Main St., SLC, 801-433-1371, whiskeystreet.com
Before it was named Main Street, this stretch of road was dubbed “Whiskey Street” because it was lined with so many pubs and bars. Hence the name. Anchored by a 42-foot long cherry wood bar backed with bottles and centered with a narrow stand-up table, Whiskey Street serves food but this is primarily a place to bend the elbow. If you are a fan of the neo-cocktail movement, try a “Ward Eight” from the specialty list—Bulleit Rye, orange and lemon juice, grenadine and a cherry—but there’s a classic list, including a Sazerac, a Negroni, a Moscow Mule, for purists, a list of beer and whiskey pairings and a jaw-dropping (and therefore mouth-opening) list of spirits, some rare for SLC. Wine on tap and an extensive beer list round out the imbiber’s choices. You definitely can’t try it all on one visit.
Pallet 237 S. 400 West, SLC, 801-935-4431, eatpallet.com
Bartender Bijan Ghiai’s cocktail menu at this hip bistro features “classics with a twist.” Many modern drinkers aren’t familiar with the classic cocktails and Ghiai serves those, too. He likes to explain his cocktails, educating his drinkers as he serves them and elevating the cocktail experience to a food experience.
Beer Bar 161 E. 200 South, SLC, 801-355-3618
Bar-X’s next door neighbor is a serious beer-food emporium. The brainchild of TV star Ty Burrell with a menu by James Beardnominated chef Viet Pham, Beer Bar takes beer and food to a new level with the option to drink your choice of more than 140 brews or enjoy a reuben with locally made brats.

Bodega/The Rest 331 S. Main St., SLC, 801-532-4042, bodega331.com
This edgy bar has two parts: A simple drinks and tacos menu upstairs and and creative food and spectacular craft cocktails underground—through a couple of doors and down some stairs. Sit in the convivial bar or settle into the cozy library. Yes, it’s slightly confusing but new things are always bewildering at first and this place is cutting-edge cool. Space is limited so reservations are recommended.
The Vault Hotel Monaco, 15 W. 200 South, SLC, 801-363-5454, monaco-saltlakecity.com
Salt Lake’s best hotel bar is an urban sanctuary. Stylish and sophisticated but lots of fun, this small hotel bar is a balance of elegance and coziness. Besides manning the daily wine hour in the lobby and serving the classics, the Vault’s team invents a roster of Oscar cocktails every year, one to match each movie nominee. Your cocktail order is your vote.

Salt City Vodka is made by tiny distillery, Elevation (6786 S. Clernates Dr., Midvale, 801-209-3909). Sugar House Distillery (2212 S.

A food-forward approach to drinking.
What you’re drinking: A Fourth Regiment: High West Double Rye, Carpano Antica Vermouth and three bitters—Peychaud’s, celery and orange) What’s so special: The civilized setting and the sophisticated menu—braised fennel, lobster spaghetti, Turkish-tinged meatballs, smoked portobellos. Who’s there: Well-traveled folks with experienced palates and a taste for adventure. Or not.

The Red Door is probably Salt Lake’s most intimate drinking establishment: a cozy hideaway that feels like somewhere else—sophisticated and elegant, perfect for a sneering discussion of laissez-faire economics, or just les affaires.

Who’s there: Downtown bar-hoppers of all stripes, hardcore boozers, hipsters and happy hour business types. Murphy’s has gussied up its appearance in recent years, but it’s still a bare-bones drinking establishment, and that’s why we like it.

Cedar City’s Tony Award-winning Utah Shakespeare Festival (435-586-7878, bard.org) runs June 25 through Oct. 31. This season’s plays include The Taming of the Shrew, King Lear, as well as South Pacific and Charley’s Aunt. Just south of I-15 from Cedar City is the granddaddy of Utah national parks, Zion National Park. Zion’s soaring towers and monoliths offer a quiet grandeur. Access the park at its northern, lesser-used Kolob Canyon entrance or drive farther along I-15 to Springdale (ranked one of the “20 Prettiest Towns in the U.S.” by Forbes Traveler magazine in 2008 and home to many good restaurants), where you can catch the Zion Canyon Shuttle. Park at any of the shuttle stops in Springdale and hop aboard to enjoy what is now the best way to see the park by vehicle (nps.gov/zion). St. George (sgcity.org) is an hour south of Springdale. Here you’ll find the nationally
famous Red Mountain Spa (1275 E. Red Mountain Circle, Ivins, 435-673-4905, redmountainresort.com),
outlet shopping, restaurants and a dozen golf courses. The lightly used Snow Canyon State Park, located just off the road between St. George and Kayenta, is a day-hiker’s paradise. Check out the steep but short Cinder Cone trail, leading to the cinder cone responsible for the lava flow covering much of the park. Or try the Whiterocks Trail, offering stunning views as it hugs the edge of the canyon. From St. George, follow the freeway 40 miles farther south through the Virgin River Gorge (a popular rock climbing destination) to Mesquite, a small, honky tonkish Nevada desert oasis with Vegas-like casinos and lots of golf courses.

Lodging
Feel At Home and Stay at a
Bed & Breakfast
Historic mansions and homes are among the most memorable places to stay in Salt Lake. From rustic character to refined elegance, these classic B&Bs are reminders of a simpler time, yet provide sophisticated comforts. Explore—and relax—at any one of these historic-meets-modern bed and breakfasts while you’re in Salt Lake. Armstrong Mansion
After touring downtown Salt Lake’s sights, rest is tucked close by at Armstrong Mansion (667 E. 100 South, 800-531-1333, armstrongmansion.com) on the city’s grand old avenue. The Queen Anne house was completed in 1893 to fulfill a wedding promise from Francis Armstrong, two-time mayor of Salt Lake City, to his bride, Isabel. It was one of the first houses in the city with running water. After decades of benign

neglect, the mansion was restored to its original Victorian glory in the 1990’s, with the help of Armstrong descendants and family documents. Now each of its 12 bedrooms is decorated to evoke a different month of the year
Inn on the Hill
Just down the hill from Utah’s Capitol Building, Inn on the Hill (225 N. State St., 801-328-1466, inn-on-the-hill.com) has become the classic Utah bed and breakfast. Its 13 rooms Inn on the Hill are themed to celebrate Utah’s iconic landmarks, including Arches, Escalante, Sundance and Zion. The different patterns, colors and textures of Utah’s natural landscapes are incorporated in the red-vein black stone, travertine tile, marble vanities and hardwood floors found throughout. Continental and hot breakfasts are available to accommodate guests hitting trails early or those just enjoying city life. And don’t forget the view. Whether gazing north to the Capitol Building, south to the city, west to the lake or east to the mountains, this inn encompasses everything Utah.
Lodging
The Swiss Family Robinson room at Anniversary Inn (right) and guest accommodations at Haxton Manor (below) and Armstrong Mansion (below right).
Haxton Manor
English charm characterizes Haxton Manor (943 E. South Temple, 877-930-4646, haxtonmanor. com), just minutes away from downtown.
Enjoy room service or breakfast in bed while lounging on luxurious fabrics in seven rooms reminiscent of medieval England. Stay in the Cambridge, Sussex, Windsor or Hampton rooms, or surround yourself with the ambience of a traditional English library in the Bristol suite. Natural color palettes and decor resemble the subtle impression of an old countryside castle. The charm would not be complete without the manor’s traditional Boar’s Head Pub Room. The pub has no liquor license, but guests are welcome to bring beverages.
Anniversary Inn
Whether it’s off to a new place in the world or the imagination, Anniversary Inn (678 E. South Temple and 460 S. 1000 East, 800-324-4152, anniversaryinn.com)—in two Salt Lake locations—takes
you there. At the second location on the hill east of downtown, 36 designed rooms open the door to real and imaginary destinations. Travel to Venice, Egypt, Cape Cod, Hawaii or Tuscany, or try living out classic novels by staying in the Phantom of the Opera’s chamber, The Swiss Family Robinson’s tree house or a meadow scene from Twilight. If you can’t decide, the inn offers a sneak peek into rooms
with 30 minute tours, 1–3 p.m. daily. Whether it’s romance, adventure or something in between, another room is always waiting to be explored. So take a vacation within your vacation. No extra airfare required.
Silver Fork Lodge
Leave the city and lose track of time entirely by staying at the historic Silver Fork Lodge (11332 E. Big Cottonwood Canyon Rd., 888-649-9551, silverforklodge.com) up Big Cottonwood Canyon.
The lodge stands in the original general store location with the 100-year-old homestead wall still in place. Even the famous sourdough pancakes are made from a 50-year-old starter. Modern mountain men and women can explore Guardsman Pass or Sunset Peak by day and recount their adventures at night in the rustic and charming full-service restaurant. Adventure comes to the door here, with moose frequenting the lodge’s deck. Hit the sack in old-fashioned comfort and wake up to stunning mountain views. Visit Salt Lake
