The historic Union Pacific Depot in downtown Salt Lake City, originally constructed in 1909, has been meticulously transformed into the Asher Adams Hotel, which opened its doors on October 31, 2024.
This luxury boutique hotel, part of Marriott's Autograph Collection, seamlessly blends the depot's rich architectural heritage with modern amenities. The property comprises a newly constructed 225-room tower alongside the meticulously restored depot, preserving original features such as stained-glass windows and historic oil murals.
Guests can enjoy a variety of dining and entertainment options within the hotel. The signature restaurant, Rouser, offers New American cuisine with an open kitchen concept. Additionally, there are two bars: No. 119, a whiskey-focused bar on the second floor, and The Bar at Asher Adams, a cocktail lounge situated in the main depot area. A club-car-themed coffee shop, Counterpart, adds to the unique ambiance.
The hotel's name pays homage to cartographers John R. Asher and George H. Adams, who were instrumental in mapping railroad routes through the Western United States. This historical connection is reflected throughout the hotel's design and offerings, creating a distinctive experience that honors the golden age of American railroads.
Strategically located adjacent to The Gateway and near key downtown attractions, Asher Adams aims to serve as a cultural hub for both visitors and locals, offering a space where the community can interact and engage within a setting that celebrates Salt Lake City's rich history.
