As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
Zion National Park is a year-round getaway destination. In fact, we prefer visiting during the fall and winter months when the crowds are small and the temperatures aren’t scorching. If you are dreaming of a national park escape, regardless of the time of year, Zion National Park is the ideal destination and Flanigan’s Resort and Spa is the perfect base camp.
Flanigan’s Resort is a beautiful boutique resort located in the heart of Zion Canyon. This destination is where you can go to enjoy the park, capture gorgeous views, and find ultimate relaxation.
During your stay, you can choose between gorgeous guest rooms, suites, and villas. Each option provides plush bedding, wireless internet, large TVs, and so much more.
And while your lodging is certainly dreamlike, it’s just the beginning of amenities offered at Flanigan’s Resort. When hunger strikes, you can step inside Spotted Dog, a casual bistro that serves breakfast and dinner, along with perfectly prepared drinks.
The dishes at the Spotted Dog are made using fresh and locally sourced ingredients. You’ll dive into meals with homemade sauces and tantalizing flavors. And you can complete any meal with a glass of wine. This restaurant offers over 400 wine selections.
Of course, adventure is just around the corner from Flanigan's. Zion National Park is the ultimate outdoor playground with hiking trails, scenic drives, and tons of history. You can also make the short drive to one of the nearby state parks such as Sand Hollow State Park or Snow Canyon State Park for even more exploration.
After a day of playing, you can then step inside Flanigan’s Spa where you’ll find a long list of treatments to help you feel your best and recover. Choose from services such as various massages, facials, hair and nail care, meditation, and more.
