Holiday Traditions
The holiday season transforms The Grand America Hotel into a place of warmth, wonder, and treasured tradition. From breakfast with Santa to twinkling window displays and festive dining throughout the hotel, every corner tells its own holiday story. This is the season to slow down, gather the people you love, and create memories that last well beyond the new year.
Holiday Window Stroll
For over 15 years, the Window Stroll has been one of Salt Lake City's most cherished holiday traditions: a beautifully decorated walk through The Grand America's storybook windows, created fresh each year around a new theme. Bundle up, bring the whole family, and stroll through the magic of the season with us. Details on this year's theme and dates coming soon.
Breakfast with Santa
Spend a magical morning with Mr. and Mrs. Claus at The Grand America Hotel, where an expansive breakfast buffet, holiday carols, and story time set the scene for treasured family memories. Available on select mornings throughout November and December, with dining-only seatings and an elevated accommodations package for those looking to make a full weekend of it. Reserve your seat at the table, or book an overnight stay with priority access to the breakfast, cozy accommodations, and a magical morning with Santa built right in.
