Imagine sleeping in a historic train station transformed into a luxurious hotel, all while earning and using Marriott Bonvoy points. Sounds like a dream come true, right? Well, that dream is now a reality in Salt Lake City with the newly opened Asher Adams, an Autograph Collection hotel housed in the city’s former Union Pacific Depot, dating back to 1908-1909.
This French second empire-style depot has been beautifully renovated into a modern hotel while still retaining its historic charm with features like stained-glass windows and terrazzo floors. The hotel, named after American railroad cartographers John R. Asher and George H. Adams, boasts 225 rooms, including 13 suites in the restored building showcasing exposed brick, picture frame-style molding, and lavish bathrooms.
The remaining rooms are located in a new eight-story tower, paying homage to the station and Salt Lake City’s rich history. The original depot is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and guests will find traces of its railway past throughout the property, especially in the Grand Hall and the four unique bars and restaurants inspired by railway dining cars.
Rouser offers New American-style cuisine cooked on coal grills and rotisseries, a nod to historic train engines. No. 119 serves up whiskey cocktails with a side of vinyl records, and the main bar, The Bar at Asher Adams, is the heart of the hotel. Counterpart, inspired by a train’s club car, is the perfect spot for your morning pick-me-up.
In addition to these fantastic dining options, the hotel also features a fitness center and meeting spaces. Located in Salt Lake City’s downtown area, guests have easy access to attractions like the Delta Center, the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, and much more.
Rates at the Asher Adams start at $227 or 30,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night. With the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card, you can take advantage of the best-ever offer of 125,000 bonus points after meeting the spending requirements, potentially earning you up to four nights at this beautiful hotel.
