Bryce Canyon Lodge

The Lodge at Bryce Canyon has 114 rooms that include motel rooms, cabins, and suites. The dining room is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner right off of the main lobby.

Gilbert Stanley Underwood was the architect and builder of the lodge in 1925. It has been proposed that the lodge be added to the National Historic Landmark status.

The main building of the lodge houses the registration desk, lobby, gift shop, restaurant and four guest suites. The sunset and sunrise lodge rooms are in buildings just down from the main lodge building.

We stayed at the Lodge at Bryce Canyon at the end of May and ended up being in a crazy snowstorm.

Our room was part of the Sunrise and Sunset Lodge Rooms. We ended up with an ADA Accessible room during our stay so the photos may differ a bit from a normal room especially in the bathroom.

The Lodge at Bryce Canyon is a pretty basic hotel that is located in an epic location. The rooms are basic but they offer the opportunity to walk to one of the most beautiful views in the National Park System.

You can leave your room and within a few minutes be looking out over the hoodoos of Bryce Canyon.

The Lodge at Bryce Canyon is the only lodging available within the park. The lodge is managed by Forever Resorts an authorized concessioner of the National Park Service.

Bryce Canyon Lodge Restaurant

I don't know if it was the snowstorm or normal but we did not have a great meal at the restaurant. The buffet breakfast was cold and not very tasty.

If you dine at the restaurant I would suggest ordering off the menu instead of eating the buffet. Hopefully, your food will be warm and have flavor.

Seating in the Lodge at Bryce Canyon restaurant is first come first served.

There is a gift shop right off of the lobby with souvenirs.
