About this Location

Facility Overview

Valet Parking Services at 679 S Main St operates in the dynamic southern corridor of Downtown Salt Lake City, situated right between the Granary District, the Central 9th neighborhood, and the urban core. Serving as both a specialized valet staging hub and an accessible open-air surface parking location, this site offers straightforward parking without the overhead height restrictions of traditional multi-story parking decks.
