Property Description |
|
Zion Lodge is the only "in-the-park" accommodation at Zion National Park. The name "Zion" means a place of peace and refuge. As a sanctuary with over 146,000 acres of cliffs, canyons, diverse plant and animal life, and uninterrupted beauty, Zion is well-named. Its massive sandstone walls, some as high as 3,800 feet, offer an opportunity for serenity and reflection for all who visit.
Designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood in the 1920s, the Zion Lodge was destroyed by fire in 1966. That same year, the Lodge was rebuilt in 100 days, quickly restoring the influx of visitors to Zion, but sacrificing the hotel's rustic design. In 1990, the exterior was restored to its original classic appearance.
This "in-the-park" lodge features historic cabins with 2 double-size beds, full bath, gas log fireplace and private porch. Motel rooms are also available, all with queen size beds, full bath and private porch or balcony. All rooms feature air conditioning, phones, radio alarm clocks and hairdryers. The Lodge is open year round, featuring special winter rates and packages December through mid-March.
Fine dining is offered in the Lodge, which boasts spectacular views of the magnificent surroundings. Reservations are required. Casual, outdoor dining can be found at The Castle Dome Cafe, which offers relaxed seating and park fare favorites. |
