Best for: Staying close to the park and fab restaurantsAt Desert Pearl Inn, guests are just a stone’s throw away from Zion’s South Entrance and walking distance from loads of delectable Springdale restaurants, like Camp Outpost Co., which is right next door. But it’s not just the inn’s great location that we love; inside even the simplest rooms, guests will find loads of creature comforts, like premium Beautyrest mattresses, kitchenettes, bidets, seating areas, and private balconies that boast phenomenal views of crimson Navajo sandstone.

An on-site restaurant, The Grille at Entrada, serves up hearty proteins like bourbon glazed salmon and braised short rib, and those much-needed post-hike spa services are just a phone call away.

Inside these 31-foot mini-houses, you’ll find plush mattresses with high thread-count linens, walk-in rain showers, and fully functional kitchenettes.

Lazalu, Zion Retreat
Bed and bath: Varies (most have 1 bedroom, 1 bath)
Top amenities: A massive soaking tub, access to secluded hiking trails
Best for: Exploring remote zones of ZionUnlike many national parks, where travelers have vast tracts of land to explore, at Zion, most visitors confine themselves to the 15-mile long main canyon. Lazalu, a secluded adobe-style retreat in the park’s oft forgotten Kolob Terrace region, aims to change that. Situated steps away from the park’s western edge, this entire property overlooks the striking rust-tinted sandstone of Cave Valley. With vintage furnishings, wood-burning fireplaces, oversized soaking tubs, and quirky design details (like a cross-shaped glass window and hexagonal skylights), Lazalu perfectly blends comfort and solitude in a picturesque, off-the-grid package.

East Zion Resort
Bed and bath: Varies by accommodation
Top amenities: Pickleball courts, swimming pool, views for days
Best for: Fun stays in unconventional digsFor those who can’t decide if they want to stay in a treehouse or a yurt, East Zion Resort’s got both, plus tiny homes, glamping tents, and mirrored houses. Since this spot is located atop a sandstone bluff overlooking crumbling red rock formations on the less-touristy eastern side of Zion, you’ll have easy access to uncrowded attractions like the towering Checkerboard Mesa and the East Rim Trail, both of which are right off of Highway 9. The resort’s amenities are simple (think swimming pools, communal hot tubs, and many, many pickleball courts), but get the job done. Larger groups and families can check out The Lodge and its adjacent Farmhouse Suite, which sleep up to 36 and six respectively, perfect for special events or for unwinding with the whole gang after exploring the park.

Open Sky
Bed and bath: 1 bedroom, 1 bath
Top amenities: Soaking tubs with sky views, outdoor showers, floor-to-ceiling windows
Best for: A romantic, cuddley escapeIf night sky gazing (or watching the sunrise in bed) is your thing, you’ll flip for Open Sky’s ceiling windows, which make it possible to brush up on your astronomy from the comfort of your covers. Though all three of their glamping tents feature plush bedding, private decks, and epic views, we love the Star Seeker for its oversized clawfoot copper bathtub, private telescope viewing platform, swing lounger, and enclosed outdoor rain shower.

Top amenities: Gas fireplaces, private porches with stunning park views
Best for: History buffs keen on sleeping inside the parkAs the only in-park lodging that’s not a campground, the Zion Lodge has a lot of hype to live up to, but luckily, its 40 private cabins and Southwest-inspired hotel suites lend the perfect amount of charm to visitors who want to bed down close to the action. Think wood beam rafters, gas-powered fireplaces, colorful local fabrics, private porches, and bathtubs for post-hike soaking. (Just don’t expect a fast Wi-Fi signal.) Sprawl out on the property’s enormous lawn for a picnic lunch or check out the casual Red Rock Grill, open year-round.

Top amenities: Private fireplaces, jetted bathtubs, and a scrumptious on-site restaurant
Best for: Romantic cabin getaway, no cooking requiredThough each of Zion Mountain Ranch’s luxurious cabins and updated lodge-style homes are truly unique and full of rustic, Wild West decor, we fell in love with The Rim Cabin, which is the most secluded of their smaller homes and perfect for couples. The 1,000-square-foot bungalow is set at the edge of Meadow Creek Canyon and boasts a large deck with panoramic views. Vintage-inspired fixtures and a separate soaking tub and shower combine to give the bathroom a luxe, antique flair, while the wood-burning fireplace and adjacent farm-to-table restaurant, Cordwood, will transport you back to Utah’s cowboy days.
