#10 Ben Lomond Hotel

Thousands of people that traveled through Ogden by train walked a short distance from Union Station up the historic 25th Street to stay at the Ben Lomond Hotel. This eleven story hotel in downtown Ogden is one of the last of the "grand hotels" still operated in Utah. Originally built in 1891, it was called the Reed Hotel and was only five stories high. Then in 1927 it was completely overhauled and expanded to the structure seen today by Hodgson and McClenehan. It was also shortly renamed the Bigelow Hotel until a transaction in 1933 when it finally became known as the Ben Lomond Hotel. In the '80s it went from 350 rooms to 120 suites with 6 different meeting rooms.
