Board meetings, training sessions, conference side events, holiday parties and weddings for 10 to 180 guests can be organized at Kimpton Hotel Monaco Salt Lake City, a hotel in the former Continental Bank building at 15 West 200 South, downtown. More than 3,100 square feet of event space, an in-house catering team, the Bambara restaurant and The Vault bar sit one block from the Salt Palace Convention Center.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells meetings with published meeting packages, group rates for room blocks and an online request for event space. The two Paris rooms carry the larger sessions: Paris B takes 100 theater style and Paris A 80, and together they form a ballroom of about 2,000 square feet. The Bombay Room seats 70 theater style or 36 classroom style for a training day or a breakout. The Tokyo Boardroom seats 14 around one table for an executive meeting. Being a block from the Salt Palace, the hotel is a practical base for a company that exhibits at a convention and needs its own meeting room, client dinner or reception nearby. Holiday parties are also sold as a separate offer.
Weddings and receptions
Kimpton Hotel Monaco sells weddings with dedicated catering menus, hotel room blocks for guests and wedding weekend packages that combine rehearsal dinner, reception and brunch. Receptions take place in the Paris rooms, with up to 180 guests across the event spaces depending on the setup.

History and setting
The 13-story tower was the home of the Continental National Bank and Trust Company, known as the Continental Bank, from 1924 to 1998. The bank was formed after the 1922 merger of James E. Cosgriff's company with the National Bank of the Republic. Kimpton bought the building in 1998, rebuilt the interior within about a year and opened the hotel in 1999.
Getting there
The hotel stands at 15 West 200 South, in downtown Salt Lake City, one block from the Salt Palace Convention Center. Salt Lake City International Airport is a short drive away.
