Reading the cards: minutes are our estimates from map distance, so they say "about". Breakfast, suites and kitchens are what each hotel brand promises across its hotels, not something we checked room by room. The places listed under a hotel are the closest ones within roughly a 10-minute walk of its door.
Room-price links and the Amazon buttons on this page pay us a small commission. The price you see there is unaffected. Thank you!Booking and Amazon links can pay us a commission. Thank you!How this site earns
We haven't yet confirmed the ceremony venue for University of Utah from its own commencement page, so the walk times here run to the tour start only.
Rooms close to campus tend to go first for commencement, often months ahead and with a two-night minimum. If the walkable ones are gone, sort the list by the 10-minute drive chip and look one town over. Our graduation weekend guide covers timing.

University of Utah gear for the ride home
A hat for the tour, a hoodie for the acceptance letter, a frame for the far end of it all. Each button runs an Amazon search for that item with the school's name filled in.
