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.

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.
