Kimpton Hotel Monaco.

Housed in a repurposed 1926 bank building, the Kimpton Hotel Monaco blends its historic architectural roots with a heavy dose of eclectic, high-design flair. The lobby sets the stage with a sophisticated, vintage-meets-modern aesthetic that carries into the guest rooms, where bold patterns and antique-style furniture are paired with yoga mats and spa-inspired baths. While its downtown location puts guests steps from Temple Square and the Salt Palace, the property functions as a social hub in its own right. Mornings center on coffee service, while evenings are anchored by a hosted wine hour. For dining, Bambara serves seasonal New American fare in a refined setting, complemented by cocktails at The Vault. Quirky perks like loaner bikes and the brand’s signature pet-friendly policy keep the atmosphere unpretentious despite the upscale surroundings.
