The Kimball

Steps from Temple Square and the Conference Center, The Kimball at Temple Square is one of the closest lodging options for LDS General Conference visitors who want to keep the schedule walkable. At 0.1 miles on your list, the property functions less like a standard hotel and more like a suite-style stay, which is useful when families, church groups, and multi-day attendees need more than a place to sleep.

Because many Conference trips involve early mornings, long days on foot, and quick resets between sessions, the in-room setup becomes the main advantage. Every unit is equipped with a full kitchen and the essentials to actually use it, including cookware and dishware. That makes it easier to manage breakfast timing, pack snacks, keep meals simple, and avoid scrambling for restaurant seating when crowds spike. For groups traveling with seniors, kids, or mixed schedules, having a kitchen and dining space in the room helps the trip stay organized.

Inside the suites, the layout tends to feel more residential than a typical downtown hotel room. Separate living and sleeping zones make it easier for families to keep different sleep schedules, and it gives small groups a place to meet without crowding around a bed. Evening planning stays quieter as well, since the suite format supports low-key downtime and early nights after a full day of sessions.

Parking is available on site, but it is paid and should be planned from the start. Self-parking runs $15 per day, which can still be a reasonable tradeoff for groups driving in from out of state, especially when the location allows the car to stay parked for most of the visit. Check-in begins at 3:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM, which supports arrival waves and staggered departures common during major weekends downtown.

Engine.com supports the trip on the organizational side when a ward group, large family, or multi-household party needs multiple units under one plan. Room blocks, rooming lists, and billing can be managed in a single workflow, which helps keep the stay coordinated when travelers arrive at different times or plans change.
