Element Salt Lake City Downtown

Stylish, Smart, and Steps from the Music

Modern and eco-conscious, Element Salt Lake City Downtown sits right in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City. With clean lines, thoughtful amenities, and calming design, this 4-star hotel blends comfort with convenience. It's just a short walk to major venues like the Vivint Smart Home Arena and the Salt Palace Convention Center, making it an ideal base for music lovers coming to town.

Why Concert-goers love it

One of the biggest perks for concert-goers is the walkability. Major venues are within a 10- to 12-minute walk, so you can skip the post-show traffic and stroll back easily. Despite its central location, the hotel maintains a quiet, relaxed atmosphere—perfect for winding down after a high-energy night. With a 24-hour front desk and check-out at 12:00 pm, there’s no rush to leave the next morning. Plus, you’re just 4.3 miles from the airport, which is great for fans flying in for a show.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends wanting to stay near the action
• Solo travelers catching a must-see artist
• Couples planning a weekend getaway around a concert
• Fans seeking a quieter recovery space after a show
• Budget-conscious travelers who still want quality and location

Food and Drink Options

The hotel has an on-site restaurant for convenient bites before or after a show. While there’s no 24-hour room service, rooms with kitchenettes (fridge, microwave, dishwasher) make late-night snacks easy. A buffet or continental breakfast is served daily—ideal for sleeping in after a late concert. You’ll also find plenty of walkable dining spots around the neighborhood for pre-show meals or post-show cravings.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re close to some of downtown Salt Lake City’s best bars, clubs, and lounges. Whether you're looking for craft cocktails or a chill spot to talk about the show, you’ll find it just blocks away. And after a big night out, the hotel's outdoor pool is a great way to relax.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, modern rooms and appreciate the friendly, helpful staff. The location gets top marks for being central but not noisy, and many mention how easy it was to get to concerts and events. The free Wi-Fi and well-equipped fitness center are also frequently praised.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests wish the on-site dining stayed open later, especially after concerts. Parking is available but not included in the room rate, which can be a surprise for road-trippers. But overall, these are small trade-offs for the location and comfort.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to Salt Lake City for live music, Element Salt Lake City Downtown offers a stylish, central, and surprisingly peaceful place to crash after the show.
