Salt Lake City Directions and Hotels


Here are easy directions from the Salt Lake Airport to the Computer Science Department at the University of Utah, as well as some information on local hotels.

Directions from Salt Lake Airport to the Computer Science Department

Exiting the airport, follow the signs for I-80 East towards the city. Immediately after leaving the airport on I-80, take the North Temple Street exit off I-80, and go straight on it (you will be headed east, towards the mountains and the downtown area).

Stay on North Temple Street into the city, until you come to State Street (which is the same as 100 East Street). There will be a high-rise office building on the corner on your right when you reach State Street. Turn right onto State Street, and go two blocks to 100 South Street. Turn left onto 100 South Street. (You should again be headed east, towards the mountains.)

Stay on 100 South Street, heading east, through town and past the stop lights at 1300 East Street, then University Street, then Wolcott Street. After Wolcott Street, the road takes a 90 degree curve to the left, then another 90 degree curve back to the right. After this curve back towards the right, our building - the Merrill Engineering Building - will be the first building on the right, a low black glass box set back off the street. Enter the North Parking Lot, and park at one of the meters adjacent to the building.

The Computer Science Office is in the near right (north west) corner, third floor, Room 3190. Go to the office and they will call Teresa or one of our project staff who can get you a parking pass and escort you up to our offices.

Computer Science Department Main Office: 581-8224
Teresa's Office: 585-3271
Jay's Office: 581-4285


Information on Salt Lake Hotels

University Park Hotel

The hotel closest to the University is the University Park Hotel. It is a nice hotel and has government room rates, but is farther from downtown Salt Lake than some other hotels. In good weather it is within walking distance to the University, and it would likely take only about 5 minutes to drive from the hotel to anywhere on campus.

Salt Lake City

If you follow the directions from the Salt Lake Airport to the Computer Science Department, you can easily continue on to the University Park Hotel. Here are the additional directions:

When you are heading east (towards the mountain) up 100 South Street, where you would normally turn right into the Merrill Engineering Building parking lot, don't turn, but rather keep driving east untill you come to the next right, which is Wasatch Blvd. (There is no light at Wasatch Blvd.) Turn right onto Wasatch Blvd. Now you should be heading south, with the mountains on your left. Stay on Wasatch Blvd, and you will go through two stop lights. At the 3rd stop light you come to, you will be at Foothill Blvd, and you will have to turn either right or left. Turn left. At the very next light, which is Wakara Way, turn left again. You are now headed east towards the mountains again, on Wakara Way. The University Park Hotel is on the left side of the street, and should be the first building you come to.

Peery Hotel

In downtown Salt Lake there is the Peery Hotel. It has a very nice but reasonably priced Italian restaurant adjacent to it (Baci's). The Peery also has a government rate.
