 Description: The Bryce Canyon Lodge building is a charming, timber and rock lodge Designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood in the 1920's. Bryce Canyon Lodge - the only "in-park" lodging at Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah! It is here that delicacy of form unites with brilliancy of color. From sunrise to sunset, the changing scenes pass before you in vivid reds, yellows and purples. Watch as light plays upon rock, immersing you in a dazzling light show. It's one of Mother Nature's masterpieces and it's all yours to explore from just outside your door! Completely renovated to its original rustic 1920s elegance - down to replicas of the lodge's original hickory furniture - this beautiful "in-the-park" lodge is on the National Historic Register. They are within a short walk to both the rim and the lodge. This quiet and relaxed atmosphere, without televisions, allows the guest to get reacquainted with nature. Fine dining is available in the main lodge. The motel unit was built in 1986 in the same rustic style as the original lodge. Each room has 2 queen-size beds, full bath and private porch or balcony.
