Salt Palace Convention Center

Conveniently located in downtown Salt Lake City and only minutes from Salt Lake International Airport, the Salt Palace is easy to get to.

Many of the convention center’s most striking visual features were obtained through the creative use of hollow structural steel in exposed applications. The entrance towers, delicate snowflake chandeliers, and grand five-story main concourse make the Salt Palace part architectural showpiece, part modern art sculpture, and ready to be all business.

Location:

100 S West Temple
Salt Lake City, UT 84101
