Zion National Park is beautiful, a true symphony of gorgeous red rock towers, emerald-green river banks, and the blue sky soaring high above. It’s a place of narrow, sinuous canyons, of lofty views, and of delicate hanging gardens. It’s a place everyone should visit. But where to stay near Zion?
In this article, we’ll be counting down the best palaces to stay near Zion National Park, from the cheapest to the most luxurious, from the most convenient to the most secluded, and everything in between.
Note: Just in case you’re wondering, all resorts have a pool unless otherwise noticed.
Cable Mountain Lodge
This scenic series of houses and suites is the closest place to stay to Zion National Park. They feature rooms ranging in size from studios to full-fledged houses. Each one is spacious and clean, featuring decor from local artists.
Cable Mountain lodge also features a full-service spa to relax in after taking on Angel’s Landing or The Subway and a beautiful picnic location beside the Virgin River.
Rooms start at $150 for a studio queen bed and only get steeper. But the amenities are worth the price, including a minifridge in every bedroom. No pets are allowed.
Cliffrose Springdale
This spacious hotel is light and airy and is solidly one of the best hotels near Zion National park. Rooms are cute, with pink carpets, flower-shaped tables, and gorgeous views of the mountains.
The hotel features both rooms and suites, and each one comes with a mini-fridge. You can choose between canyon views, river views, pool views, and garden views – the choice is yours.
It’s five minutes from Zion. It’s a bit on the pricier side—rooms start at $278 a night—but their views are worth it. There’s a beautiful pool and spa. No pets are allowed.
Hampton Inn & Suites Springdale/Zion National Park
With its location right in the heart of Springdale, with easy access to Zion, Hampton Inn & Suites is certainly one of the best answers to the question of where to stay near Zion. It comes with a pool, fitness center, boutique, and restaurant.
Rooms are comfortable and home, if a bit dated in style, and each has a mini-fridge. Pet-friendly. Rooms start at $100 a night.
Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott
Next on our list of where to stay near Zion is the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott, set into a gorgeous natural landscape with views straight into Zion Canyon. It certainly is the best of the best; it was voted the 2021 traveler’s Choice Hotel by Tripadvisor.
It is an incredible treat and certainly one of the best hotels near Zion national park. Rooms start at $156 per night. Each room has a mini fridge and microwave; several rooms offer accessibility features. It’s 20 minutes from Zion, so it’s easy to get to the park and beat the crowds. No pets allowed.
Best Western Plus Zion Canyon Inn & Suites
Next is the Best Western Plus Zion Canyon Inn & Suites! I know what you’re thinking, a Best Western on this list?
However, its closeness to Zion (it’s only 0.3 miles away), proximity to the shuttle bus (it’s right in front of the hotel), and excellent views make it truly one of the best. Each room has a mini fridge and microwave. No pets are allowed. Rates start at $143 a night.
Bumbleberry Inn
Bumbleberry Inn is a friendly little inn and is the largest family-owned business in Springdale. In fact, it has been a staple of Zion travelers for decades.
Located just a mile from Zion (and with its own shuttle stop), it’s safe, it’s comfortable, and it’s cozy. Children will particularly enjoy the inn’s resident ducks and goats. Rooms start at $130 a night.
Zion Wildflower Resort
Wanting to stay in a covered wagon? We’ve got you covered (heh.) Zion Wildflower is a glamping resort and features beautifully crafted, authentic-looking covered wagons, as well as gorgeous canvas tents and homey bungalows.
Each bungalow comes with a bathroom, minifridge, TV, and air conditioning, but only some of their tents have plumbing. The spacious views and desert scenery make the lack of a pool more than acceptable. Everything starts at $160. It’s right by the Fairfield, also on this list.
Holiday Inn Express Springdale
The Holiday Inn Express Springdale one is probably the most basic of any you’ll see on this list, but it’s comfortable and convenient to Zion.
Each room has a minifridge and blackout shades (which is amazing for those of us who would rather sleep in). They do offer suites, but the suites aren’t that different from a regular room aside from a separate living area. Rooms start at $123 a night. It’s pet-friendly.
Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort
Another glamping-style lodge, this wonderful resort features a variety of accommodations at varying levels of fancy—from full-size vacation homes to tent sites and everything in between.
Types of sites include full-size vacation homes, with all the amenities you might expect of one; cabins, which are smaller, with more rustic decor, but still feature plumbing, heat and a/c, and a kitchenette; “cowboy cabins,” which are smaller, one-room affairs with electricity but no plumbing; glamping tents, which feature beds inside of a permanent canvas tent and communal bathrooms, but no facilities; regular tent sites; and covered wagons, which feature similar accommodations to the glamping tents, but hey, it’s a covered wagon.
This resort features a whole host of activities, from guided hikes to pickleball, two restaurants and a complimentary breakfast. Rates start at $30 a night for a tent side and go up to $200 a night for vacation homes, making it one of the cheapest places to stay near Zion National Park.
It’s fairly far away from Zion Canyon compared to other hotels on this list (about 20 minutes), but has its own shuttle (separate from the park system’s shuttle) that will take you to some lesser-known trailheads, and as a bonus, you get to go through the majestic Zion-Mt. Carmel Tunnel every time you drive to the valley.
Zion Mountain Ranch
This sustainable, eco-friendly—and just plain gorgeous resort features a smattering of small vacation homes for rent. Each one is distinct, with its own decor, views, and yard.
They have both cabins and lodges for rent; both are completely detached from each other, so if you like solitude, this is the place to be.
The lodges are more glamorous and spacious; you’ll feel like you have your own little mountain mansion. Cabins are more basic, and some of them might not have kitchens; however, all units do feature indoor plumbing.
Some of the lodges feature a hot tub—perfect for a romantic getaway. The resort prides itself on its sustainable organic restaurant, and features a herd of bison roaming the grounds.
There’s no pool, but they do have guided hikes, Jeep tours, and horseback rides. It’s five minutes from (the east entrance to) Zion, and rates start at $230 a night. It’s a steal for the price, and definitely one of the best hotels near Zion National Park.
SpringHill Suites by Marriott Springdale
Marriot is our favorite of the large hotel chains, and this sleek, modern hotel certainly delivers. Rooms are spacious and creative, with chic decor and an upscale feel that wouldn’t feel out of place in New York instead of Zion.
Each room has a sofa bed, minifridge, and microwave, though there’s no full kitchen. There are also “deluxe suites,” which seem to only offer extra living space as an upgrade.
At $96 a night, this is by far the cheapest place to stay on this list. It’s a mile from Zion. Pets are welcome, but there’s a $75 pet fee.
Desert Pearl Inn
This luxury-soaked hotel (actually a series of townhouses) provides a spacious and gorgeous place to stay for all your Zion adventures. You’ll sleep on million-thread-count sheets and relax in an Italian-tiled soaking tub, all the while looking out at the babbling Virgin River and its lush banks.
As you might expect, it’s a bit more on the pricier side, but it’s well worth it. Rooms start at $250 a night for the poolside accommodations and go up to $280 for the riverside ones. But it’s worth it for the expansive, comfortable, and artistic rooms. Each room has a complete kitchenette. It’s 3/4ths of a mile from Zion.
Zion National Park Lodge
Most of these are located fairly close to the park, but this is the only offering on our list that’s actually located within the park. There’s a main hotel with cabins surrounding it. Cabins and suites come with a minifridge, but hotel rooms do not.
The main building doesn’t have any elevators; if someone in your party does need an elevator, make sure you get a ground-floor room or rent a cabin. There’s no pool here, but who needs one when the entire park is right out your window?
Rooms start at $179 a night and can go up during busy season.
Majestic View Lodge
This unique, Old West-inspired lodge features beautiful wrought-iron beds, a gorgeous pool, and a gift shop with an extensive collection of authentic Native American gifts.
It’s located 2.5 miles from Zion. Each room has a mini fridge and coffee maker. This one doesn’t come cheap; rooms start at $359 a night.
And that’s our opinion on where to stay near Zion National Park. We hope you have an excellent vacation!
