“I am proud to be announcing the signing of this phenomenal hotel that will give guests a one-of-a-kind experience in the beautiful state of Utah,” said Phil Hugh, chief development officer, Americas, Radisson Hotel Group. “It has been incredible working alongside Raddon Development as they bring this exceptional development project to life, while creating a true destination for our guests with a variety of culinary options, shopping and activities for outdoor enthusiasts in this urban gem.

The hotel’s rooftop will feature FireLake Grill House & Cocktail Bar, a signature concept of Radisson Blu properties in the U.S., centered around live fire cooking and farm-to-table dining.
