DESCRIPTION Home of the 2002 Winter Olympic Athlete Village, the University of Utah Residence Halls provides a comfortable and convenient stay for convention attendees, both individuals and groups. Nestled in the foothills of the Salt Lake Valley and located in the Historic Fort Douglas area, this accommodation is only minutes from downtown and the Salt Palace Convention Center. This is a suite-style dormitory accommodation where you will be sharing a bedroom and a bathroom (no more than 2 people share one bedroom; no more than 4 people share one bathroom.) Rate per bed per night is $50 + tax of 12.60%. All major credit cards are accepted. Full payment is due at the time of online reservation. We offer the following three options for purchasing accommodations online: 1 Bed ($50): [1 person] You are purchasing 1 bed for 1 person, and will be paired with roommates within your gender. You may request a roommate, and best efforts will be made to accommodate your request. (No more than 2 people share a bedroom; no more than 4 people share a bathroom.) 2-bed Suite ($100): [Up to 2 people] You are purchasing an entire suite for up to 2 people. The suite includes 2 beds, 2 bedrooms (1 bed/room) and 1 shared bathroom. 4-bed Suite ($200): [Up to 4 people] You are purchasing an entire suite for up to 4 people. The suite includes 4 beds, 2 bedrooms (2 beds/room) and 1 shared bathroom. NOTE: If you are buying Suites, then you control who is in the Suite with you, because you have purchased the entire Suite. Whereas, if you are buying 1 Bed, you are paired with roommates within your gender and best efforts will be made to pair you with the person(s) you request.

2 In order to make an online reservation, you will be required to create an account with a username and password. Only one credit card can be associated with each account. Therefore, if you want to use separate credit cards, you will need to create a separate account ( & password) for each credit card, and then make a separate reservation within that account. If you are booking multiple Beds or Suites with one credit card, you will be able to do so within your reservation. However, the reservation system is only able to reserve one Bed or Suite at a time. So near the end of your reservation, before Checkout, you will be able to loop back through the reservation process again to book a second Bed or Suite, and so on, as many times as you need, to accumulate your desired number of Beds or Suites. If the process becomes confusing, please feel free to contact us via or phone ( for faster response).
