I walked through Grand America's beveled-glass and brass doors and entered a lavish wonderland of opulent amenities befitting the royal guests. I was immediately encased in elegant luxury. My eyes darted about, absorbing the gilded images before me: Italian marble floors and walls, English wool carpets, and French furniture and tapestries all illuminated by the Murano crystal chandeliers. In addition to the sumptuous interior decor, the hotel staff and their genuine smiles greeted me at the door. All of this elegance and I had only entered the lobby!

OKLAND CONSTRUCTION - This structural concrete hotel boasts a Five-Star and Five Diamond rating with 905 guest rooms, 777 of them suites. The hotel features a 24-story tower, a four-story garden wing, grand and junior ballrooms, restaurants, shops, courtyards and a multi-level, 1,000-car underground parking garage. This project has a total square footage of 1,756,351.

Bethal White Granite from Vermont was chosen to sheath the entire hotel. Over 1,400 cubic meters of blocks were used for this one project, making it the largest use ever for Behtel White for an individual building.

The Grand America Hotel is conveniently located on 10 acres in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City, just 10 minutes from the Salt Lake International Airport. Ensconced by the Wasatch and Oquirrh Mountain Ranges in the magnificent Salt Lake Valley, the Grand America is walking distance from shopping, restaurants, cultural and sporting events and is roughly 30-40 minutes from the major ski resorts. Nearby are historic Temple Square, the world-famous Great Salt Lake, four major rivers, national parks, forests and monuments.
