There are some beautiful and comfortable places to stay all around the Beehive State. However, when you want to stay someplace that is not only gorgeous and well-known but also has a fascinating history, there is one hotel in Utah that you can’t miss — The Peery Hotel. This historic landmark hotel is located in Salt Lake City and it truly is remarkable in every way.
The Peery Hotel is located on West Broadway in Salt Lake City. You’ll immediately know that you are in the right place due to the unique and beautiful design of this building.
This Utah hotel was built in 1910. Two brothers, David and Joseph Peery, hired a European architect to design a hotel in Salt Lake City that would be magnificent enough for businessmen and high-profile guests visiting the city. The result is the three-story prairie-style building that is still standing today.
In the early 1900s, Utah was becoming a popular place for individuals who were eager to find a place in the mining industry and for those who had already found wealth in the Utah hills. Throughout this hotel, you’ll find evidence of the railroad and mining industries that played a crucial part in the state's history at the time.
There are more than 70 rooms in this historic hotel in Utah. These rooms range in size from a single queen-size bed to a one-bedroom suite with a king-size bed.
No matter what room you stay in, each is tastefully decorated with several amenities including personal temperature control and Wi-Fi.
When you are hungry, head to Christopher’s Prime Tavern & Grill, an on-site restaurant. Here, you can enjoy an all-natural beef steak cooked to perfection and packed with flavor.
In addition to the tasty steaks, you can choose from giant shrimp scampi, filet mignon, and chicken. There is also a variety of sides that will leave your taste buds tingling.
Sonoma Grill & Wine Bar is also located at the Peery Hotel in Utah. This restaurant features a large menu with homemade pizzas, tacos, pasta, and other delicious entrees. Each dish is made using only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients.
This restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Make sure you choose a glass of wine and a tasty dessert to complement your meal.
Is there any surprise why the Peery Hotel in Utah was named one of the best “old” hotels in America and has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places? We don’t think so.
