About
Step through the grand doors of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and enter a lobby that once welcomed presidents, movie stars, and world travelers. Built in 1911 as the prestigious Hotel Utah, this Beaux Arts structure continues to greet guests from around the world. In 1993, the Joseph Smith Memorial Building was rededicated and named in honor of the first prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Today, the ten-story building serves as both an administrative center and a gathering place for the community. It houses restaurants, large banquet halls, and wedding reception rooms, providing warm and welcoming spaces for families, friends, and visitors.
At its heart is a 500-seat theater that presents films produced by the Church, each sharing uplifting stories centered on Jesus Christ. These experiences invite audiences to feel His love, understand His teachings, and find strength in living by His example.
