Gateway District

The Gateway is Salt Lake City's only open-air contemporary destination, delivering the ultimate in shopping, dining and entertainment spread across 105 stores and restaurants. Originally built in anticipation of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, it has since become one of the most popular commerce centers in the west, frequented by Salt Lake residents and out-of-state visitors alike.

Stores include Abercrombie & Fitch, J. Crew, Virgin Megastore, Barnes and Noble Booksellers, and Apple Computers. Fixtures such as Bastille, Bill Loya, Victoria's Secret, Brookstone and the Megaplex 12 Movie Theater also tenant the complex. Restaurants featured throughout the mall include the California Pizza Kitchen, the Happy Sumo sushi bar, McGrath’s Fishhouse, The Dodo, Fleming's Prime Steak House and Ruby's Diner.

Although constantly expanding, the Gateway District refers to the area typically considered to begin with the beautifully restored Union Pacific Depot on the Gateway’s north side. It ends with the equally breath-taking Rio Grande Station four blocks to the south, with the Gateway shops and restaurants situated between.

Beyond shopping and dining, the Gateway District features some distinctive sight seeing options. First built in 1908, the Union Pacific Depot features early French renaissance architecture and original artwork. The Rio Grande station is full of historical exhibits highlighting the structure’s rich history.

The Olympic Legacy Plaza at the Gateway features the dazzling "dancing waters" of the Olympic Snowflake Fountain, all overlooked by a classic clock tower.
