Hotels in Salt Lake City, United States
Home to Big Cottonwood and Little Cottonwood Canyons, Salt Lake City is particularly popular during the winter season. Skiers across the nation descend upon the slopes of amongst others, the Deer Valley Resort to enjoy it world famous facilities. Since it hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics, Salt Lake City has become a sophisticated outdoor sports paradise.

Visitors should find navigation particularly easy as Salt Lake is laid out on a grid design with Temple Square almost perfectly situated in the centre. While winter holidaymakers generally head to the outskirts for the sporting activities, down in the centre of town you will find the University of Utah district with its ample provision of cultural delights. In addition, Salt Lake City has its own Hogle Zoo and magnificent woods in Milcreek Canyon.
Salt Lake City owes much of its development to the mining of copper, silver gold, coal and lead. Today visitors are greeted with a bustling city which owes much of its charm to the small town disposition of its population. Since the Olympics, Salt Lake City has a broader accommodation, dining and entertainment base.
