Tour of the Grand America Hotel

Recently we took a tour of the Grand America 5 diamond hotel. I personally forget how nice some of Salt Lake's finest establishments are. This was a great tour. We only saw a little of the "back of house" do to the business of the holiday season. We got to see all of the ballrooms, a couple of the other meeting rooms, the spa and swimming pool, we saw some of the guest rooms including one of the presidential suites that Billy Joel had stayed in, and more. (We saw Billy Joel's signature in the guest book.) We got to see some rooms that are not normally shared with the public and wow the restroom! It was awesome to have non-club members join us for the tour. We'd love to have them join us as club members for the future. The furnishing and materials for this beautiful hotel were mostly imported from Europe. The owner of the hotel was highly involved with the design. A very worthwhile tour!
