This is a seven-story, four-star hotel, similar to the headquarters hotels at the ASSA meetings.  It is located on “the bench” that overlooks Salt Lake City.  Depending on your room’s location, you might get a nice view over the city.  You will certainly get an “out of the city” feeling thanks to the hotel’s location on the edge of town, with the foothills behind.

The conference dinner will be held here on Saturday, June 2, 7:30-9:30

Conference rate (single or double room):

bullet As of 5/26: the 1st conference rate of $79 per night plus tax is no longer available -- BUT rooms can still be booked by phone at a rate of $99 per night plus tax

bullet Hotel shuttle (7-8 minutes) to and from the University – or anywhere within a 3-mile radius
