Sixty Years of Little America Salt Lake City
This summer, we are celebrating 60 years of Little America, 25 years of our sister property The Grand America, and the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. All summer long, we are sharing the stories, people, and moments that have defined this hotel and we would love for you to be part of it. Explore everything we have planned for the season, and let this anniversary be your reason to celebrate with us.
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.
Plan Your Summer Stay
Make This Summer One to Remember
The Summer Celebration Package is our way of making your stay feel as special as the season. Enjoy a hotel credit to spend your way, whether that means a celebratory dinner at Lucky H Buffet, a relaxing afternoon at the pool, or breakfast in bed with in-room dining. This is summer at Little America.
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. This summer, 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.
A New Way to Explore the Hotel
Passport to the Americas
Two hotels, one shared history, and a summer worth exploring. The Grand Passport Quest invites guests to celebrate 25 years of The Grand America Hotel and 60 years of Little America Hotel Salt Lake City by discovering the details, traditions, and hidden corners of both properties. Pick up your passport, explore participating locations, and collect a stamp at every stop along the way.
How it works:
- Pick up your Passport to the Americas across the street at Sunlight Sundries at The Grand America
- Visit participating locations across both hotels and collect a stamp at each stop
- Return your completed passport to receive a limited-edition souvenir
As Timeless as the Hotel Itself
A Little Souvenir
To mark 60 years, we have created a limited-edition heritage collection inspired by the history and legacy of Little America. The collection will be available for purchase at our retail outlets through the end of the year.
