By Updated Reviewed by Daniel Mercer

This guide covers 18+ hotels and places to stay in Utah — Grand America Hotel, Stein Eriksen Lodge and Amangiri top the list. Every recommendation carries its practical details: typical costs, the best time to visit, and what to know before you commit.

Utah is a western state of monumental landscapes, home to five of America's most dramatic national parks — Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef. Red rock canyons, ancient hoodoos, towering sandstone arches, and the vast Bonneville Salt Flats define a state unlike anywhere else on Earth. Salt Lake City, the capital, anchors the north with world-class skiing, a growing food scene, and a gateway to the Wasatch Range.
