Joseph Smith Memorial Building

Frommer's Review

Between 1911 and 1987, this building served as the world-renowned Hotel Utah. Since renovated and converted into offices, meeting spaces, restaurants, and reception areas (it's very popular for wedding receptions), the architectural details have been lovingly restored throughout; the lobby retains its art-glass ceiling and massive marble pillars. It's worth a stop for a peek inside.

There are 200 computers in the FamilySearch Center (tel. 801/240-4085), and a staff to help with your genealogical research. A big-screen 500-seat theater offers free (but ticket required, call tel. 801/240-4383 for schedule and to reserve a ticket) showings of an hour-long movie about the life of Christ. Allow half an hour to an hour and a half.
