SALT LAKE CITY — Salt Lake County’s visitor economy has rebounded strongly from the COVID-19 pandemic. Now those staying at the heart of it will soon have a new option to stay while visiting the area.
But customers will have to wait just a little while longer.

Autograph Collection, Mariott Bonvoy’s upscale hotel brand, now plans to open the Asher Adams — a play on the names of John R. Asher and George H. Adams, a pair of cartographers who were the first to put railroad routes on a map — next week.
It was initially scheduled to open on Thursday. However, it ran into some last-minute delays, according to a spokesperson for the company. The restaurants will now open on Nov. 7, while rooms will be available beginning on Nov. 14.
The 225-room hotel at the historic Union Pacific Depot will be the brand’s first in Salt Lake City and third in Utah, following locations in Park City and St. George.
The project rehabilitated the 116-year-old former train station, where 13 suites were constructed. Most of the rooms are within an eight-story guestroom tower expansion constructed behind the depot at the northern end of The Gateway.
