The jaw-dropping 1908 Union Pacific Depot lobby with original stained glass
The 'Gandy Dancer' vinyl listening lounge with 2,500 records
Brand-new, sparkling clean rooms (opened late 2024)
Resumen rápido: A gorgeous architectural restoration that forgot one crucial thing: desks in the guest rooms.
Reseñado por @vantagevisual: I honestly couldn't get over the lobby—it's the actual historic Union Pacific Depot! My room was super modern and quiet despite being downtown. Watching the sunset over the mountains from bed was the highlight of my trip. Definitely grab a cocktail at the bar downstairs.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
The hype
Travelers are obsessed with the 'moody and swanky' vibe and the friendly staff (shoutout to Cleopatra at the front desk), but many are baffled by the lack of desks.
Reality check
The historic charm is real, but the 'paint smell' of a brand-new hotel was still lingering for some early guests.
You're seeing a show or game at the Delta Center (literally across the street)
You appreciate adaptive reuse architecture and high ceilings
You prioritize a serious gym (Pelotons + squat rack) over a pool

Maintenance: Perfect condition, though some 'new building' settling issues (like paint smell) reported.
Linens & towels: Crisp, new, and high thread count.
Odors & scents: Fresh, custom hotel scent mixed with faint 'new carpet' smell.

No. Breakfast is served at Rouser or Counterpart (coffee shop) and is à la carte.
Consejos de Insiders
✨
The 'Gandy Dancer' isn't just decor—you can actually pick a vinyl record from the 2,500-album collection and play it.
✨
Walk over to 'HallPass' in The Gateway for a high-end food hall experience if you don't want hotel food.
✨
The gym is surprisingly legit with a squat rack and heavy dumbbells, rare for a hotel.
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The 'Historic' rooms are in the actual old depot station, meaning 14-foot ceilings but potentially draftier windows.
💡There is literally no desk in the standard rooms—just a tiny side table.
💡The hotel scent is a custom blend, but early guests reported a lingering 'new construction' paint smell.
💡You can access the TRAX light rail almost immediately outside, making airport transit a breeze ($2.50 vs $30 Uber).
💡The lobby bar (The Bar at Asher Adams) is built into the original ticket windows of the train station.
