Radisson Hotel

Close to the heart of downtown, Radisson Hotel Salt Lake City Downtown is built for high-volume weekends like LDS General Conference, when walkability and simple logistics matter more than extras. At about 0.4 miles from the event site at 60 North Temple Street, it places the Conference Center area within an easy walk, while keeping groups near downtown dining, transit, and the Salt Palace corridor. Address: 215 West South Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84101.

Groups tend to choose this hotel because it runs like a true full-service property. A staffed front desk, a bar and restaurant on site, and a larger lobby footprint help when arrivals come in waves and schedules vary across families. It is a more structured option than a limited-service hotel, which helps church groups, multi-family parties, and organized attendees who want a clear meetup point each day.

Meals are one of the main friction points during conference weekends, especially when everyone is trying to eat at the same time. An on-site restaurant helps keep at least one meal option close, and it reduces the need for constant car trips. When the day includes long sessions and a lot of walking, having dinner, coffee, or a quick regroup spot in the same building can make the stay feel easier to manage.

Planning for vehicles is still part of the equation downtown. Parking is available on site, typically as covered self-parking and valet, with fees. For multi-vehicle groups, that’s worth deciding early so arrival stays smooth and the group isn’t split between different parking solutions. Once parked, the rest of the weekend can stay walk-first, with downtown blocks and transit stops doing most of the work.
