Kimpton Hotel Monaco Salt Lake City

The service was fabulous and staff very accomodating, its was such a relief that my pet can come and they had a pet bed waiting for him when I got there! I will return to hotel again and again, the size of this hotel was also perfect. I love the boutique hotels instead of the big box hotels the service was extraordinary!

Hotel was nice, front desk staff was great. Friends and I stayed there and went to a hockey game. After the game we returned to the hotel for drink and food at the hotel bar. It was 10:10pm, the bar closes at 11pm. The door to the bar was locked, 2 employees were cleaning up and never acknowledged us. We asked a passing employee why the bar was closed. She said the bartender wanted to go home. It was 18 degrees outside and we didn’t want to venture out. If you want to enjoy the hotels bar or restaurant, just know that the bartender dictates when they close, not what their posted closing times state. Kimpton send me a review and asked if I’d like to be contacted, I said yes please, no one ever reached out to me. If there’s another nice hotel downtown, don’t stay at the Monaco.

The entire hotel staff members were inviting and friendly. All of the spaces were thoughtfully decorated and clean. I was there before Christmas and got to enjoy the beautiful decor and Christmas music. The complimentary hot chocolate was a nice touch too. The best part was probably the bed which was like a much needed hug! I also enjoyed lunch in the restaurant and room service, and a beverage at the bar. (The burger was my favorite meal of the weekend!) This was my first time in SLC and it was a perfect stay. Perfect location for venturing out as well.

We stayed at Kimpton SLC two times on our latest road trip. The hotel is gorgeous, beautifully designed inside a historic building. They’ve kept a lot of charm while being modern and design forward. The rooms we had were quite spacious with a fair amount of floor space. The bathrooms aren’t huge but worked for us - the queen double had a tub bathroom, the king suite a large walk in shower. Pet friendly of course, they supplied dog bowls and a bed. Gym is small but up to date with treadmills, an elliptical, two pelotons and one of those electronic wall mounted workout thingeys. The Vault has great food and drinks (burgers are fantastic) since it’s a bar we got our kid’s burger to go and they happily ate in the room. We also tried Bambara which was lovely upscale dining. Breakfast is also at Bambara - a bit more pricey and upscale than we needed but delicious. The lobby has complimentary coffee in the morning which is always appreciated. Will be our go to SLC hotel

Great weekend experience at the Kimpton. I booked through the Amex Hotel Collection with Amex Platinum. Weekend rate was very reasonable. I received the $200 credit through Amex and also a $100 hotel credit for the stay. The positives are the location, room size, valet, restaurant and overall sleep comfort. The location right downtown is perfect. I had a car so drove in and out but also walked around to places like CUPLA coffee just down the street each morning. Shopping nearby etc. The room is large with the fancy Kimpton bedding, towel and robes. I slept so well. I also had lunch in the restaurant which was yummy. Lots of fresh choices and warm atmosphere. Everyone I talked with was very friendly and welcoming. The Amex $100 hotel credit included any room charges including valet which was a nice surprise. Valet was always fast and open 24 hrs which was needed after a late night back after the Utah BYU game ( go Utes). The only real negatives were the shower heat and window size. The hotel is historic, and while the rooms do feel fresh, nothing can be done about the small windows and small hallways. Part of the charm of an old hotel, but because of this my room felt dark even though I was on a high floor. I booked a king city view room. Also no upgrades available for me on this busy weekend even with the Amex hotel collection booking and IHG elite status. Biggest issue was water temp on shower. Warm enough to shower and feel comfortable but not that super steamy hot shower. The hotel did message me to confirm all was well with the room and I let them know about the shower heat. The service, overall charm, and sleep quality were big wins. I highly recommend this hotel. We will be back!
