Zion Lodge sold out? How to still get a room

Zion Lodge is one of the lodges inside Zion National Park, and it books up soon after dates open. Rooms keep coming back when other guests cancel, though, so "sold out" usually just means "not right now".

Zion Lodge, Zion National Park

When bookings open

New dates open on the 1st of each month, about 12 to 13 months ahead (on March 1 they open the whole of March the following year).

Deposit and cancelling

Cancel at least 7 days before arrival to get the deposit back. Zion Lodge doesn't run a waitlist, so rooms simply reappear online.

Season

Open all year.

Book direct

Zion Lodge (Xanterra) runs the lodge. Book there rather than through a third-party site, whose terms can differ.

How to catch a cancellation

  1. Check at the refund deadline. Look hardest about 7 days before your dates. That's the refund cutoff, so guests whose plans changed cancel just before it, and those rooms go straight back on sale.
  2. Check twice a day, every day. Rooms often come back one night at a time and go quickly.
  3. Grab part of your stay. If one night opens, book it and keep looking for the others. Adding a night to a booking you already hold is often easier than finding a whole stay at once.
  4. Say yes to more room types. Zion Lodge has several room types, including Hotel Room 1 King; Hotel Room 2 Queen; and Lodge Suite 1 King. The less popular ones come back more often.
  5. Be ready to pay right away. Have the deposit card at hand; a room you hesitate on goes to the next person refreshing.
  6. Keep a backup. Hold a refundable room outside the park, or at another lodge nearby, and cancel it if your first choice comes through.
