A Glimpse into History
The Ben Lomond Hotel was originally opened as the Bigelow Hotel, named after prominent banker Archie P. Bigelow. It quickly gained a reputation as one of Utah’s “grand hotels,” along with the now-demolished Newhouse Hotel and the former Hotel Utah. Over the years, it has hosted numerous notable events, including the 1928 Western Democrats convention, which played a significant role in the presidential campaign of Alfred E. Smith.
Designed by the esteemed architectural firm Hodgson & McClenahan, the hotel’s interior boasts an array of themed rooms, each reflecting a unique cultural influence. From the Arabic-style coffee shop to the Florentine Palace ballroom, the hotel exudes a cosmopolitan charm that has captivated guests for decades.
