Scene
Chain hotel with clean and contemporary interiors
Housed in a seven-floor building with a concrete facade, Hyatt Place Salt Lake City follows a similar theme to other hotels within the Hyatt brand. Inside, the hotel is sleek with contemporary design and decor. A dedicated area for breakfast and the snack/drink bar spills out to a contemporary lobby with ample space for huddling over a laptop or sharing coffee with colleagues. Decor is clean and simple with rich colors like brown, maroon, and olive green with a contemporary mix of decor and artwork. The central gas fireplace, stack of daily newspapers, and bowl of apples add a personal touch to what could be a stiff corporate atmosphere. Opposite to the rest of the hotel, the meeting and event space is quite old fashioned with bland decor and outdated furniture. Due to its central location and well-known brand, this hotel attracts a variety of guests including both leisure and business travelers.
