The Ben Lomond was formerly The Bigelow Hotel and was constructed in 1927. The building is located on the southeast corner of Washington Boulevard and Historic 25th Street in Ogden, Utah.

The hotel achieved, and has held, the distinction of the tallest building in the city of Ogden from the time of its construction and it is considered one of three "grand hotels" in Utah. Architecturally the hotel is a fine example of the Italian Renaissance Revival style, common in the 1920s, but unusual for Utah. The building stands as a prime example of the growth and economic development in Ogden during that decade.

The Crystal Ballroom with its three large crystal chandeliers and decorative ceiling is a splendid place to host a wedding reception. This wonderful venue will help create memories and beautiful pictures for any important life event such as a Quinceanera or awards banquet. Event planners will love the feeling of history and opulence this space gives to parties and conferences. Guests can dance the night away under the gorgeous chandeliers and ornate ceiling that date back to 1927. Whether you are planning a business convention or a masked ball for a reunion you will love having your event in the last remaining Grand Hotel in Utah. This space is one of the prettiest event venues in Ogden, Utah and is ideal for large events and meetings. Call (801)627-1900 and ask about Ben Lomond Suites event catering.
