2 Best Hotels in Tropic, Southwestern Utah

This contemporary B&B set in a sagebrush canyon just outside Tropic's small downtown offers a number of noteworthy perks, including a delicious made-from-scratch breakfast, close access to a trail that leads right into the park, and individually decorated rooms hung with the dazzling landscape photography of owner Edgars Erglis—one-on-one photography classes are offered, too.

This cheerfully decorated, economical, and intimate seven-unit boutique property in tiny downtown Tropic is just 15 minutes east of the park and on the way toward Escalante. Accommodations are a mix of cozy motel rooms and larger cottages, and each is individually furnished. There's also a pretty garden with benches and chairs—a lovely place to read a book or relax after a long day.
