The most sought-after accommodation for Zion National Park is the onsite lodge. By far, it’s the most convenient place to stay. It puts you right in the middle of the main canyon on the scenic drive. It’s close to many of the hikes and has easy access to the shuttle.
Zion Lodge is open year-round and offers 76 hotel rooms, 6 suites, and 40 cabins. Though this may seem like a lot of accommodation, they book out months in advance. Actually, I just did a quick search for a year from now, and more than half the rooms are already gone.
Rooms also include free onsite parking. You’ll get a gate code and a pass, so you don’t have to hunt for a parking space at the visitor center.
There’s a restaurant and also a smaller cafe onsite, plus a gift shop.
