    Caesar salad
    Desiree D.

    Contribution Cocktail Lounge is a great little lobby bar located inside the Hyatt Regency in downtown Salt Lake City. The service was very attentive and friendly throughout our visit. Our drinks were good and the Caesar salad I ordered really hit the spot. This is a really good option if you are looking for a place to grab a nice appetizer and a quick drink in the city.

    charcuterie board
    Abby E.

    Super convenient bar within Hyatt in SLC, overall good service. Can't order from the bar, have to be seated in an area to order from server. Like the rest of SLC, need to scan your ID to enter. Our group had several yummy cocktails and glasses of wine throughout our conference here and enjoyed it! One day we got the charcuterie board which was massive and enough to feed 4-5 easily as an app/small bite. Would definitely be back!

    I love the vibe of this place! It is both stylish and welcoming. The kind of spot where you can settle in for one drink and end up staying for three (like I did.) The bar program is impressive, with craft cocktails that feel inventive without being overly complicated. They also have a creative lineup of mocktails. For being a hotel bar, they did a great job of standing out as a place even locals want to frequent. To pair with your drink, they've got artisan boards, flatbreads, and small bites that make for easy sharing or solo snacking. Good for a casual happy hour or a light dinner with friends. The service rounds everything out with the server being quick, attentive, and genuinely friendly, which adds to the warm atmosphere.

    Our server Yasmira is really nice, service was phenomenal. Drink presentation is bad(bloody marry) Location is good, its in the corner. Ambiance seems ok, you go there just to drink then this is ok. If you want upscale bar or good bar, theres plenty around

    Armenian Lavash Platter with Hummus and Vegetables
    Momo G.

    Thoughts. Had the Hummus platter with Armenian Lavash. Beautiful assortment and taste. Also, the local sour bear was light and crisp, tasted natural and smooth. Bar tenders and reception were friendly and catering. Too bad they close too early for my taste. Will be back.

    Visited the new Hyatt Regency on a Monday so alas, the 6th floor Mar restaurant was closed. But the bar on the main floor is lovely as well! Friendly and quick service, excellent drinks (though on the smaller side), and a nice menu of small plates and flatbreads so you don't have to leave. We got there at 8pm and it was empty but by 10pm every table was full. The attached convention center likely emptied out as they seemed to be the corporate types but it was a nice vibe and didn't feel crowded. There are couches, high top tables, traditional tables, plus the bar and it's such a comfortable yet refined vibe. Huge windows look out onto downtown which makes it feel airy and open. The flatbread was good with a nice crunch and soft chew in the crust and hot honey drizzled on top. The sliders were excellent, tons of flavor, served with au jus and warm squishy buns. We added fries on the side and that was a good choice - they arrived hot and crispy with fry sauce. They had a nice looking charcuterie board that I'll try next time as well as a good array of interesting small plates like their take on funeral potatoes, wings, and a veggie plate. The Hyatt Regency is a lovely addition to downtown SLC. Serves the convention center well with its 700 rooms and serves the locals well with new options for dining and drinks. Can't wait to return! Love this new addition to downtown and can't wait to try the other restaurants here.

    Ceasar salad

    This was a great first stop of the night. Spacious, nice staff and the food was fairly priced and delicious. We got the Caesar salad and chicken sliders.

    (6/26/2023) was staying in this hotel for a conference, went for a nightcap with a coworker. It was bustling, but we were seated right away in the lounge. The server came after some time to take our drink order. Cocktails were inventive and interesting and prettily garnished, prices (as expected at a hotel bar) were steep.

From the moment we arrived, Carl and Russell at the front desk set the tone for an outstanding stay. They are true ambassadors for the Kimpton brand, demonstrating how a genuine smile and warm hospitality can make guests feel instantly at ease. This is also a pet friendly hotel, so you do see a large population of small and big dogs moving around. It is a great for our furry friends! Our room was spacious, thoughtfully designed, and offered a sophisticated modern feel. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, providing a great night's sleep, while the fully renovated bathroom featured a powerful shower that was a pleasure after a long day. Breakfast was great. Everything is prepared à la minute, ensuring freshness and quality, and each dish is presented with care, making the meal feel both elegant and inviting. The hotel's downtown location is ideal, whether you're traveling for business or meeting family and friends. With its stylish atmosphere, attentive service, and excellent amenities, the Kimpton delivers an experience that feels both refined and genuinely welcoming. I would happily stay here again.

I just saw some iberico ham in the window. Got to get to my room. The room was clean and the king size bed firm and comfortable. As opposed to the Hilton I stayed at last time I was on a high floor with a view of the city. The bathroom appeared fairly new and the shower with dual heads was great. Nice water pressure. The only negatives are the expensive water in the room and the tiny little table I had to use as a work desk.

We stayed in room 1695, which is an Executive Suite with an entry foyer, living room, bedroom, large closet/storage space, expansive bath with nice tub and separate shower. There was also a second sink area outside of the bathroom, which made it very easy for our family of 4 to get ready. The finishes and details of the entire room were exquisite and very nicely thought out. It felt luxurious! I visited the spa one afternoon for a pedicure with Madison. It was an incredible experience! After my appointment, I took a shower in the 17-head shower room and it was SUBLIME. The mandarin shampoo and conditioner in the shower felt silky and smelled amazing - my hair felt so nice that I came back the next day to purchase the shampoo to take home. My kids loved the pools - it felt fun to them that there were two. I thought the indoor pool was nicer and had a really spa-like ambiance with beautiful glass chandeliers and luxurious loungers. The outdoor pool area just didn't seem as special as I was expecting for a hotel like this, but was still great. I appreciated that they had a 1' toddler pool tucked off to the side. Very nice showers - individual shower stalls with shampoo and body wash. The pool menu for food and bar was perfect! Ordered a delish salad and a fun summer cocktail. Poolside service from Ethan was surly and inattentive, but the food was something I would order again which made up for it. A highlight that we'll always remember from our stay is breakfast at Laurel. We started 3 of our 4 mornings here and it was an absolute treat. Servers Rob and Tatiana were stars. All 4 of us agreed that the food was phenomenal and I appreciated that they offer veggie breakfast meat options. Every detail in the service was elevated and just a great experience. (We walked across the street to The Coffee Shop at Little America for breakfast the 4th morning and it was also a wonderful experience! Coffee Shop is a misnomer, as it is a comfortable sit down restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.) Jou Jou, the toy and candy shop off the lobby is CHARMING! It's a destination for anyone, not just hotel guests. We spent a lot of time (and money) poking around here. Really nice brands, unique toys, fun puzzles and games, amazing dress up things, tons of Jellycat! Everyone we encountered working there was friendly and engaging. My kids also loved watching the marble track in the window outside the store. The only aspects of our room that I didn't think were up to The Grand America snuff were the beds and bedding. I didn't find them to be super comfortable, the pillows were very thin and I thought the duvets seemed to be for a bed a size smaller. Despite this, I still give the overall stay 5 stars. Every other aspect made up for it!

We booked the King studio suite w/ fridge and it was spacious. I like the idea of no closet. But, you will see an area to hang your clothes behind the drapes! There are no typical drawers. But, underneath the tv, are 3 wire basket drawers that remind me produce baskets. I decided to bring my bath bomb from Lush since I have seen business photos on their Google, and I came across plenty of bath tub pictures. I was disappointed to see our room had a shower stall. Breakfast is served from 6-10am. Our first morning, eggs were Denver omelette style. The omelette had hash browns, cheese, red & green peppers. Breakfast meats, potatoes, oatmeal, fresh fruit, make your own waffles station, and breads/ pastries. Huge lobby area.

The complimentary breakfast had scramble eggs, sausage, bagels, toasts, potatoes, etc. Also for lunch or dinner, there's a very good tacos place called Street Tacos located next to the hotel and walking distance to other good restaurants.
