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.
Day trips are fun and all, but some destinations beg for you to stick around a while longer. These three park hotels in Arizona let you extend your visit overnight, experiencing all Mother Nature has to offer without feeling rushed. Plus, the views are unbeatable!
Visitors can also enjoy a spacious patio overlooking the canyon. The ancient rock landscape extends far as the eye can see - we can't imagine a better way to cap off a great meal.

Perched on the edge of the canyon, the lodge features simple cabins that sleep up to six guests.

Within Grand Canyon Village and eight minutes from the Grand Canyon Railway, the hotel boasts a fine dining restaurant, lounge, gift shop, and newsstand.
Each of the 78 guest rooms is unique, offering a much more memorable experience than the cookie-cutter hotels of today.

We'd be remiss not to include Monument Valley in this list, as its on-site hotel provides some of the most striking views on earth. While this isn't designated as an American national park, it is considered a national park by many, including the Navajo Nation.
Located just across the Arizona-Utah state line, the Navajo-owned View Hotel is the only hotel within the park.
The rooms feature Southwestern-inspired décor - including locally-woven rugs - and plenty of amenities to make you feel relaxed and at home. Guests can enjoy an on-site restaurant with a breakfast buffet, a trading post, and an exercise room.

Each room leads out onto a private balcony with sweeping views of Monument Valley.
