THE MERIDIEN, SALT LAKE’S FINEST, MOST EXCLUSIVE NEW LUXURY ADDRESS, embodies the art of gracious, urban living, and elevates it to a spectacular level. With a limited number of estate residences in a magnificent, historic, Georgian building in the Salt Lake’s Upper Avenues, The Meridien is surrounded by the breathtaking views of the City, the Mountains, the Lake, and endless western skies. The combination of unique architectural style, privacy, view, amenities and exclusivity, all merge to bestow The Meridien with a character that is every bit as thrilling as a penthouse on Central Park, Michigan Avenue, or Knob Hill. The opportunity is fleeting, so THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW.
The story of The Meridien begins in 1924, when the United States goverment selected Salt Lake City’s north bench as the site for its new Veteran’s Administration hospital. The building is neo-classical in its design, with elements that are purely Georgian in heritage. Veteran’s Administration dignitaries and Salt Lake City officials commisioned the building on July 24, 1932. The hospital served the country continously until 1962, when its status changed to become part of the original Primary Children’s Hospital campus and, later, Brigham Young Univeristy. The structure is graced by a variety of grand architectural elements, including symmetrical facade, cornices and parapets, and pedimented porticos. Garland embellishments on the tympanum frame a small, circular window, while keystones secure each window opening. The Meridien preserves and restores every detail of this building with meticulous care.
