The Grand America Hotel

January 6, 2020

New Year 2020 I was able to kick things off in beautiful Salt Lake City, a city I’d never visited, but had been so eager to for the longest time. Utah is one of my favorites states because of its vast and diverse natural landscapes; from Bryce Canyon to Zion to Arches, and all of the incredible mountains in between. I’ve driven across the states around a half a dozen times, and have visited most of the National Parks in Utah, and have even skied Deer Valley, but all my friends are in SLC and I was so excited when I had the opportunity to visit for the first time!

Upon arrival, I was so amazed at the timeless and classic luxury that each suite at The Grand America Hotel had to offer. From the marble bathrooms to the wallpaper and elegant pieces of art and even the bathrobes were so comfortable. First impressions of The Grand America Suite? Took my breath away.

Once the curtains were drawn, the view gave way to a sweeping mountain landscape with the city underneath. The clock tower added serene depth and made for a picture-perfect opportunity just outside on my personal balcony. Those balconies were so nice to have to get some fresh air!

Once I had a second to settle in, I decided to head down to the gym for a little workout before my Hyrdafacial at their world class spa. As a gym enthusiast, I was really happy with the fact that they had anything a triathlete could want in regards to both weight and cardio training. I was so happy to head down there every morning for my 5am walks.

Next was the Hydrafacial, which I’d never had before but was super intrigued. The purpose of the treatment is to deeply hydrate your face with serums which, I 100% needed since SLC is very dry. I enjoyed the spa, 17 jet shower (!!), steam room, sauna and pool before heading on in. It was a wonderful experience and my face felt extraordinary after!

If you’re someone who’s into fine taste and cuisine, then you’ll love the food at The Grand America. Every dish I had was packed with flavor and dressed to impress. The service and staff were impeccable. When calligraphies down for room service, someone picked up immediately, and within less than 30 minutes, a beautiful meal was delivered right to my door. Many, even luxury hotels oftentimes have problems with punctuality, but not this one! I was so impressed by the service, decor, and sweeping views. When visiting The Grand America, do not miss out on the morning coffee and fresh pastries in front of the fire in their common lounge. It’s such a quiet, peaceful and inspiring environment.

If you have the chance, don’t miss a night here during your next stay in SLC!

———Reflection:
These events for me are more than just trying to look pretty on a carpet. It’s an opportunity to face my fears and overcome my own personal adversities.A year ago, I was in a very different place; going to these events, but not putting in much effort nor really caring about my appearance. I just went for the movie or show and then came home.But now, I attend for many other reasons. I realize it might come off as egotistical when I post these, but to me, there’s a much deeper narrative, one that I’m constantly writing, challenging and improving upon.With each event, I strive to tackle my social anxiety and lack of self confidence - both of which came to be upon completion of my trip around the world as a result of all of the bullying I had received. That constant antagonism became engraved into my soul - no one teaches you how to handle that stuff, but it made an impact on how I valued my self worth even despite the then wild success of my endeavors.These events are a moment in time where I can crawl out from the depths of which I am “surviving”, to see how far I’ve come; physically, emotionally, mentally, and how much further I still have to go.It’s a moment in time that stands still, before I’m back burrowing into the ground. And I don’t mean to be dramatic - there is currently so much struggle happening in my life that I wish I could openly share. One day.Alas, for now, I’ll enjoy these little moments where I’m floating, and I hope you do, too ☺️.

n. the reservoir of all possible opportunities still available to you at this point in your life-all the countries you still have the energy to explore, the careers you still have the courage to pursue, the skills you still have time to develop, the relationships you still have the heart to make-like a pail of water you carry around in your head, which starts off feeling like an overwhelming burden but steadily draws down as you get older, splashing gallons over the side every time you take a step.
