Zion Canyon Lodge

This casual lodge sits right in Springdale, putting you minutes from Zion's main entrance. The family suites work well for groups, with separate sleeping areas and sofabeds that give everyone space to spread out. Recent renovations have updated many of the rooms with modern touches. The staff consistently gets praise for being welcoming and helpful, especially when you roll in after a long day of hiking. Diana and the front desk team know how to make guests feel at home. You'll find complimentary hot coffee and juice in the lobby, plus on-site laundry facilities that come in handy after dusty trail adventures.

Amenities That Matter
