Deluxe Accommodations in Zion

The Desert Pearl Inn is one of the best hotels in the West. It’s in southern Utah at the threshold of Zion National Park. The rooms are huge, practical and stylish; most have balconies that look over the red cliffs of Zion and roiling Virgin River.

There’s a swimming pool for long, hot summers in Utah’s Dixie; a gourmet coffee shop; and plentiful woodwork made of old-growth timber from scavenged railway ties.  What's more, it’s got to be one of the few hotels west of the Rockies with bidets — yes, I said bidets. That’s because Zion is very popular with European travelers.  Native stone walls and sun-hued stucco are framed by beams of old-growth Douglas fir and redwood reclaimed from a 100-year-old railroad trestle that once spanned the Great Salt Lake to blend Inn with land. The private balconies and terraces of our spacious rooms open onto towering red rock formations alongthe tree-lined river. A bench at the water's edge...the sound of a soothing waterfall... handcrafted one-of-a-kind furnishings -- each element artfully chosen for both its beauty and its function... each object, long-considered and thoughtfully selected, reflects our love of the area.
