Developers break ground on two downtown SLC hotels

Last updated Thursday, May 16, 2013 - 6:35pm

SALT LAKE CITY — Real-estate developers are breaking ground on downtown Salt Lake City's first new hotels since a Hyatt Place was built in 2009.

The additions are for specialized segments of the hotel industry and won't satisfy the needs of the nearby Salt Place convention hall, which needs a much larger hotel that will require public-private financing to get built, said Scott Beck, president and chief executive of the Salt Lake Convention & Visitors Bureau.

BETHESDA, Md. — Bill Marriott has revolutionized the hotel business over the past four decades.

As CEO of the company that bears his family’s name, Marriott led the industry in opening hotels next door to highway exits and suburban office parks. He was also a pioneer in catering to niche markets. In 1983, he launched Courtyard, a chain for cost-conscious business travelers. Today, Marriott has 18 brands, including Fairfield Inn for budget travelers and Ritz-Carlton for the luxury set.
