If you're heading to Salt Lake City for an IIDA event, continuing education seminar, or client site visit, the Marriott City Center sits right in the middle of downtown where most design industry meetings and showrooms cluster. Code 290717 drops your nightly rate by roughly 15%, which adds up fast on a multi-night trip for a conference like NeoCon West or regional chapter gatherings. That's money back in your pocket or your firm's travel budget, plus you're earning Bonvoy points on every dollar spent.
The Property
The Salt Lake City Marriott City Center is located at 220 South State Street, planted squarely in the downtown core about two blocks south of Temple Square. The neighborhood is walkable, with the Salt Palace Convention Center just a few minutes on foot and TRAX light rail stops within a block. Salt Lake City International Airport is only about a 10 minute drive, roughly 10.4 km, making arrivals and departures painless.
Rooms at this full-service Marriott are typical of the brand's upper mid-tier, with king or double queen configurations averaging around 300 to 350 square feet. Each room includes a dedicated work desk with good lighting and reliable Wi-Fi, which matters when you're finishing client presentations after hours. Higher floors on the east side offer views of the Wasatch Mountains, worth requesting at check-in.
The hotel has an indoor pool and a fitness center that stays open early and late, useful if you're adjusting to the altitude and want to keep your routine. On-site dining includes a full-service restaurant and a lobby lounge for quick meals between sessions. There is no complimentary breakfast at this tier, but Bonvoy Gold and Platinum elites receive enhanced benefits that can offset food costs.
The Salt Palace Convention Center is a five minute walk, and City Creek Center, a large open-air shopping and dining complex, is two blocks north with dozens of restaurant options. For business needs, FedEx Office is within walking distance, and the downtown TRAX stations connect you to the university district and Sandy without needing a rental car. Several well-regarded restaurants, including Takashi for sushi and Current Fish & Oyster, are within a 10 minute walk.

A standard room here typically runs about $210 per night at the public rate, but entering corporate code 290717 drops that to around $179. At Marriott Bonvoy's standard earn rate of 10 points per dollar, that $179 stay generates 1,790 points worth roughly $14.32 in future travel value. Your real net cost comes out to about $164.68, saving you around $45.32 compared to booking at rack rate without points factored in.

Stack Your Savings
If you hold Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite status or higher, this corporate rate stacks with your elite benefits at the Salt Lake City Marriott City Center. That means you still receive room upgrades when available, late checkout, and the enhanced welcome amenity. Platinum and Titanium members get lounge access or a breakfast credit on top of the discounted rate, which can easily save another $20 to $30 per day on meals.
The Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card from Chase earns 6x points per dollar at Marriott properties, turning that $179 night into 1,074 bonus points on top of your base earn, for a combined haul of roughly 2,864 points per night. The Amex Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant card offers similar multipliers plus a $25 dining credit at the hotel's restaurant. Either card pays for itself quickly if you stay even a handful of nights per year at Marriott brands.
Watch for Marriott's periodic promotions like the recurring earn-more-points campaigns that typically launch in Q1 and Q3, which can double or triple your base point earnings on qualifying stays. Booking midweek, Tuesday through Thursday, at this property tends to yield better availability at the corporate rate since weekends in SLC fill up with leisure travelers. If your dates are flexible, checking rates two to three weeks out often catches the sweet spot before dynamic pricing pushes rates higher.
Bottom Line: Depending on your travel dates and room type, IIDA members using code 290717 at the Salt Lake City Marriott City Center can expect to save between $28 and $74 per night when you factor in both the rate discount and the value of Bonvoy points earned. The hotel's downtown location puts you steps from the convention center, major dining, and transit without needing a car. For IIDA members visiting Salt Lake City on business, this is the most practical combination of location, price, and loyalty earnings in the city.
