The Story of Little America

Established 1966

Little America Hotel Salt Lake City has been welcoming guests for 60 years, through changing seasons, a growing city, and decades of memories made right here on Main Street. What started as a place to rest and recharge has grown into a full-service downtown retreat spanning nearly 10 acres of gardens, fountains, and warm hospitality. Six decades later, the welcome is still exactly the same.

Stay with Us

A Stay Sixty Years in the Making

There's no better time to experience Little America than now. From a celebratory dinner at Lucky H Buffet to an afternoon by the pool or breakfast in bed with in-room dining, guests feel like part of the family from the moment they arrive.

Sixty Years of Stories

You Belong Here

The anniversaries, the annual traditions, the moments that started as a one-time visit and became something you return to every year—those are the stories that make this place what it is. A hotel is only as meaningful as the people who call it their own, and for sixty years, you have made Little America feel like exactly that. We are gathering those memories to celebrate everything this anniversary truly represents, and we would love for your story to be part of it.

Faces Who Define Us

The People Behind the Hotel

Little America has always been about people, the team members who have spent years here, and the guests who keep coming back. Their stories are the ones worth telling. Meet Kari Lund, retail department manager and a nearly 27-year fixture of the Little America experience, whose warmth and dedication are woven into everything the hotel does.
