Where to stay in Rose Park
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Rose Park's rose-named streets run to bungalows rather than lobbies, so the rooms that serve a visit stand downtown in Salt Lake City near the Beehive House and the Church History Museum. American Beauty Drive is the way back. Bikes handle it; the neighbourhood rates high for bikeability, and the rose-shaped blocks sit close enough to downtown that a day among the museums costs little of the morning.

About Rose Park
What are the main landmarks in Rose Park?
Streets bent into the shape of several roses are what Rose Park has in place of a monument, with American Beauty Drive drawn through them as the long stem. Shingles went up red or green. The listed monuments stand downtown instead: the Beehive House and the Lion House, the Seagull Monument and Eagle Gate beside them, the Church History Museum and the Pioneer Memorial Museum a few blocks on.
The Utah Museum of Contemporary Art and the Devereaux House sit along the same short commute that Rose Park is known for.
What is the history of Rose Park?
The name comes from the developer who laid the ground out. He arranged part of the streets in the shape of several roses, gave them the names of rose varieties, and ran American Beauty Drive through the middle to serve as the long stem. Red or green shingles went on the first roofs.
Rose Park counts among the most ethnically diverse areas in Utah.
Where is Rose Park?
Rose Park occupies the northwest quarter of Salt Lake City, its street names drawn from rose varieties and American Beauty Drive running as the plan's long stem.
