The Ritchie Group, a Salt Lake City-based development group, has announced that Le Méridien Salt Lake City Downtown and Element Salt Lake City Downtown will open mid-January 2023. This is the first dual-pad property in Salt Lake City, besides being the first Le Méridien and Element combination of Marriott brands. This is also the first Le Méridien in Utah and the first hotel with a full-scale rooftop bar in the market.
The hotel is located just six miles from the airport and 20 minutes from the mountains, making skiing and other outdoor excursions easily accessible. The property is also adjacent to Vivint Arena, and steps away from the Salt Palace Convention Center. The newly formed development where the property is located is called The West Quarter, which aims to connect two halves of downtown in one square block. In addition to Le Méridien and Element Salt Lake City Downtown, the development includes The Charles (a residential building), retail space and restaurants.
Le Méridien Salt Lake City Downtown offers 144 rooms and suites, with floor-to-ceiling windows and emerald tile-adorned showers in the bathrooms. Curated with design-forward and custom-made décor, the accommodations are a nod to European influence. Element Salt Lake City Downtown, on the other hand, offers 126 sustainable rooms and suites with floor-to-ceiling windows, fully equipped kitchenettes and spa-like bathrooms with eco-conscious amenities. Guests are treated to complimentary daily breakfast, evening receptions and free bike rentals.
Located on the ground floor, the dual-pad property’s signature restaurant, Adelaide, is an urban brasserie. It has a full bar, plus an oyster and raw bar, as well as a private dining room and outdoor patio.
The rooftop Van Ryder offers views of the city and the Wasatch Mountains. The bar gets its name from Jack “The Rambling Kid” Van Ryder, an American cowboy and western artist. His soft, pastel-colored paintings captured the dusty, brooding Western twilight skies, and the venue keeps his art and legacy alive. A private dining area is also available.
Two meeting spaces and one pre-function area make up a total of 8,355 square feet. The Triumph Ballroom holds up to 642 people; the Pierce Arrow Boardroom holds up to 82 people; and the pre-function space holds up to 220 people.
Guests can work out at the rooftop fitness center, which offers an outdoor pool, Peloton bikes, cardio machines and strength equipment. On-site valet and self-parking are both offered, besides vehicle charging stations. Pets are also welcome.
