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.
Architect Gilbert Stanley Underwood designed the lodge, which opened in 1925. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1987.
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.

My Experience Staying in Room #20, Sunset Point Room at Bryce Canyon Lodge
We really enjoyed our stay at the Bryce Canyon Lodge. The lodge is centrally located in the park and makes it easy to get around the park. Our room was very clean and well maintained. I appreciated the coffee maker and coffee to start the day, especially after it snowed on us! We stayed in kind of a quiet time, right after Memorial Day but before school let out so it was not too busy. Our room was very peaceful and I would be happy to book this lodge again.
Bryce Canyon Lodge Dining Room
The Bryce Canyon Lodge Dining Room is locatedin the main lodge where you will see a big stone fireplace, high ceilings, and rich wood throughout provide a rustic elegance that feels completely at home in a National Historic Landmark.
The breakfast menu includes American standards and a buffet option, while lunch options range from entree salads to burgers and bison stew alongside a soup, salad, and build-it-yourself sandwich buffet. We had the buffet and I would suggest ordering from the menu. I will mention that I am not a big buffet fan basically because if it is slow and items are not moving fast and get either cold, overcooked, dry, stale, etc. I always prefer a fresh made meal.
The dinner menu features grilled and oven-roasted rack of Utah lamb, grilled Alaskan salmon, Utah trout, and prime rib alongside vegetarian options. Wine and beer are available.
The dining room is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner seasonally and is open to all park visitors, not just lodge guests. No reservations are accepted and seating is first-come, first-served.
Valhalla Pizzeria and Coffee Shop
The Valhalla Pizzeria and Coffee Shop is located adjacent to the main lodge building and is one of the more charming casual dining options available at any park lodge in the American Southwest. In the morning it serves fresh-baked pastries, fruit, espresso, and coffee to fuel early starts on the rim trails. Come afternoon and evening, the menu shifts to artisanal pizzas, pasta, salads, and Italian-inspired favorites alongside beer and wine. Valhalla will deliver directly to your lodge room, making it the perfect option when you have spent the entire day on the trails and do not want to go anywhere for dinner. Outdoor seating is available when the weather cooperates. Open mid-May through mid-September only.
