Radisson Downtown

The Radisson Salt Lake City Downtown functions as the essential logistical headquarters for large-scale expos and city-wide conferences. With 381 comfortable guest rooms, this property provides the high-volume capacity required for substantial room blocks, but its true value is its direct, across-the-street adjacency to the Salt Palace Convention Center. For any group or trade show requiring maximum efficiency, the ability to transition attendees between the convention floor and their hotel room in minutes is a powerful operational asset.

The hotel is expertly designed to serve as a vital support hub for major events, offering approximately 14,000 square feet of flexible meeting space. This space is not just for overflow; it’s perfectly scaled to handle ancillary meetings, executive retreats, or training tracks that require privacy away from the main convention floor. The primary interior venue is the Bonneville Ballroom, which spans over 6,000 square feet. This venue is ideal for a large welcome reception, mid-sized general session, or an evening banquet, and it can accommodate hundreds of guests in a seated configuration. The hotel also features over 10 additional meeting rooms, providing necessary breakout space for groups to convene in smaller, focused clusters.

Handling a room block of 381 rooms, especially when the reservation dates are tied to volatile convention schedules, is a constant operational challenge. This is where Engine provides essential management. Our platform is built for the specific operational complexity of project-based companies and large event logistics. We eliminate the inefficiency of relying on consumer booking sites which often fail when dealing with blocks of this size. Engine provides dedicated trip managers who specialize in sourcing, contracting, and managing complex rooming lists, ensuring your group’s accommodations are synchronized precisely with the convention dates.

The hotel’s location delivers exceptional convenience for attendees. Guests are positioned for easy walkability to major downtown attractions, including Temple Square, City Creek Center shopping mall, and a variety of dining options. This central location ensures that attendees have a complete, cohesive experience whether they are working or exploring. The hotel provides key amenities that cater to the needs of the traveling professional, including a complimentary shuttle service, an indoor pool, and an on-site fitness center.

For finance teams, securing a room block for a convention often creates a financial tracking disaster, especially when different departments or different projects are paying for different attendees. Engine solves this by transforming expense management into a single, clean operation. Our platform allows project managers to track every travel cost against a specific job number or project code from the outset. We eliminate the need for the finance department to chase paper receipts by offering our Direct Bill feature. Engine can extend a line of credit to pay for the entire room block upfront. Your company receives one consolidated monthly invoice, providing perfect cost allocation and turning a chaotic expense burden into a streamlined, high-visibility report.
