We review hotels in Salt Lake City in Utah with the best club or executive lounges. The Hilton and Marriott City Creek both have executive club lounges, are in a similar location, and are older properties that have been renovated. The Marriott City Center is your best hotel with a club lounge.
1. Salt Lake City Marriott City Center
Salt Lake City Marriott City Center is one of the best hotels in Salt Lake City. It has a great club lounge that is closed on the weekends.
Because this hotel was recently refurbished, it has an inviting ambiance. Newly renovated guest rooms and suites deliver stunning views of the Wasatch Mountains or Gallivan Plaza, free Wi-Fi, marble bathrooms, and plush bedding, with access to an indoor heated pool, whirlpool, and 24/7 fitness center.
La Bella Piastra is the signature Italian restaurant, and the lobby lounge offers a relaxing setting for cocktails. Salt Lake City Marriott City Center also offers a great location for nearby restaurants. You just need to ask the concierge which direction to walk for Asian, sushi, and steak restaurants.
At one of the top Salt Lake City Airport hotels, you’re within walking distance to almost everything downtown, including top attractions like Temple Square, Gallivan Plaza, and the Salt Palace Convention Center.
There is debate about whether this newer hotel or the older Salt Lake City Marriott Downtown at City Creek is better. Some guests prefer the pool area and restaurant at the Salt Lake City Marriott Downtown at City Creek. The Salt Lake City Marriott Downtown at City Creek also has a slightly better location across from the convention center (if this is where you are heading) than the City Center Marriott.
But there is a caveat, the Salt Lake City Marriott Downtown at City Creek is an older style Marriott hotel. If you want something more modern, go for the Salt Lake City Marriott City Center, or pick whichever is cheaper, as they are both good, but neither is outstanding. If you plan to use the pool, stay at the older hotel. That said, the Salt Lake City Marriott City Center has a super gym.
