| Description: | Designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood and constructed by the Union Pacific Railroad in 1925, 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. The present lodge is the latest in a series of efforts to settle the canyon, control the river, and provide comfortable facilities in the midst of this amazing scenery. On this site in 1916, William W. Wylie established Zion’s first tourist camp, a cluster of tents and a dining pavilion.
Zion Lodge features historic cabins with two double beds, full bath, gas log fireplace, and private porch. Motel rooms are also available, most with queen-size beds, full bath and private porch or balcony. The lodge is open year-round, featuring special winter rates and packages December through mid-March. Zion Lodge’s recently renovated dining room boasts spectacular views of the magnificent surroundings. Reservations are required. Casual, outdoor dining can be found at the seasonal Castle Dome Cafe, which offers relaxed seating and park fare favorites. Zion Lodge is operated by Xanterra Parks & Resorts. |
