I recently spent the weekend in Salt Lake City, Utah with a bunch of girlfriends. It was so much fun and the perfect break for this busy tired mom. Wither you are looking for something to do with your friends, your date, your spouse or just to do with your family – I am going to share some really great places to eat, activities to do and places to stay so that you can have the best time! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner too, so be sure to check these out for Valentine’s Day ideas!
We were hosted at the new Courtyard Salt Lake City Downtown thanks to Mediavine. The hotel is conveniently located to many of the downtown attractions (like across the street from Vivint Smart Home Arena) and close to City Creek Center, Gateway Mall and several other places). It is a great place to stay, with big comfortable beds, an indoor swimming pool, free wi-fi, free parking and more! Learn more about Mediavine on their WEBSITE | FACEBOOK | TWITTER.
Christopher’s Steak House:
Christopher’s believe in a more personal dining experience and it shows in their service & food! They will only serve the highest quality all natural, locally sourced products. Christopher’s is Zagat rated: EXCELLENT, and if you have not been there then you are in for a treat! The food is delicious and comes in big portions. I got the salmon with a loaded baked potato and I traded half of my salmon for half of a filet mignon. We also tried the stuffed mushrooms, ribs, creamed spinach, fries and so much more! The food has amazing flavors and everything I tried was just so good. I highly recommend eating there, especially for a special occasion.

Pig & a Jelly Jar is our brunch sponsor! They are a modern Southern comfort food diner, serving breakfast and lunch all day. At Pig they use fresh quality ingredients, non-GMO safflower oil, scratch recipes as well as many local and organic products. They believe food should be made with love, served with integrity and the dining experience unique. You can learn more about them on their WEBSITE | FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM.
Shopping at City Creek Center
In the heart of Salt Lake City, City Creek Center is the retail centerpiece of one of the nation’s largest mixed-use downtown redevelopment projects. This unique shopping environment features a retractable glass roof, a creek that runs through the property, a pedestrian sky bridge and more. We had so much fun exploring the mall and enjoy the beautiful environment and the fountains. This is a great place to hang out and explore.

My lady friend likes good stuff, and a Finders Seekers box would be just marvelous to have and great for all occasions.
My brother-in-law used to live there, but it’s been years since I’ve visited! I would adore a weekend away! Yours looked like so much fun!
I;ve been to Salt Lake City once to attend a Blog conference and fell in love with the city. I particularly enjoyed staying the downtown area and remember hanging out with some of my blog buddies at a few restaurants. I enjoyed Italian food 🙂
It looks like you had an awesome time. I love the sound of the live game center, I would definitely head there if I visited!
What a fun and great experience you had. Looks like a great place to visit. I’ll definitely go here one day with my family.
Salt Lake City seems to have much to offer in just one area. I would probably freak in the Escape Room but I’d have to try it. City Creek Center is calling my name. What a cute place to shop! And the restaurants … I’d have to starve for two weeks after coming back, Yum!
That looks like a wonderful dining experience! I see some other bloggers there I follow. It looks like a great time.
