Zion National Park, a 229-square mile collection of narrow canyons, enormous rock monoliths and forested plateaus, is one of southern Utah’s most popular attractions. A showcase of the erosive forces of wind and water, Zion is a grand spectacle of geology and nature. It’s diverse ecosystem ranges in elevation from 3,800 to nearly 9,000 feet and boasts over 900 species of plants, 271 bird species and 75 species of mammals. The park’s landscape runs the gamut between inhospitable deserts to lush hanging gardens, formed by the seepage of water through porous sandstone. Zion is Utah’s most visited (averaging 2.5 million visitors per year) and oldest national park (established in 1919). Located only 45 minutes from the park and close to a wider variety of entertainment and dining options, Comfort Suites St. George should be your hotel of choice when visiting the area.
Your hotel room at Comfort Suites St. George lies within 45 minutes of the refreshing alpine wilderness of the Pine Valley Mountains. The town of Pine Valley is home to the Pine Valley Chapel, which stands as a testament to the area’s pioneer heritage. Ebenezer Bryce, for whom Bryce Canyon National Park is named, built the chapel. Some people over the years have said it resembles an overturned ship (Bryce was a ship builder) and that it would float if a major flood ever hit. It is the oldest LDS meetinghouse in continuous use. The chapel is open for tours during the summer.
After a fun-filled day exploring Zion National Park or one of southern Utah’s many other attractions, you can return to your hotel room at Comfort Suites to swim in our heated pool, soak in our hot tub, or unwind while watching a movie on HBO or any of the other cable channels we provide in every room. If you would like a night out on the town, top-name restaurants such as Claim Jumper, Tony Roma’s and the Cracker Barrel are only a few blocks away. A six-screen movie theater and family fun center are also within walking distance. Our convenient location close to the freeway, eateries and entertainment make us a top choice among the hotels and other lodging options in St. George, Utah.
