2 hotels to be built in downtown Salt Lake City

Two new hotels in Salt Lake City will be erected south of EnergySolutions Arena, and although they won’t fulfill the need for a convention hotel, they are being touted as a welcome addition to downtown.

The $65 million mixed-use development will include a 159-room extended-stay Hyatt House, a 175-room Courtyard by Marriott, a parking garage and ground-level retail at the intersection of 100 South and 300 West.

Construction on the 100 South hotel complex has begun, and an opening is set for late 2014 or early 2015. Salt Lake Tribune
