Zion Lodge is located in Zion National Park, Utah, United States. The lodge was designed in 1924 as a compromise solution between its developer, the Utah Parks Company, which wanted a large hotel, and National Park Service director Stephen Mather, who desired smaller-scale development. The Utah Parks Company had been formed in 1923 as a subsidiary of the Union Pacific Railroad, and was, like many similar programs, intended to stimulate passenger rail traffic to the national parks of southwest Utah.

Zion Lodge est le seul hôtel situé à l’intérieur du parc national de Zion au sud-ouest de l’État de l’Utah aux États-Unis. L’architecte Gilbert Stanley Underwood est à l’origine de la conception du lodge dans un style rustique au début des années 1920. Le bâtiment avait pour but d’accueillir les touristes venus visiter le tout nouveau parc national (1919). Un incendie ravage le bâtiment en 1966. Il sera reconstruit en moins de 100 jours mais son aspect initial ne sera pas conservé dans l’empressement de la réouverture. Une restauration eut lieu en 1990 en vue de lui redonner son aspect originel. En plus du bâtiment principal, le complexe hôtelier dispose également de plusieurs bâtiments originaux. Parmi ceux-ci se trouvent des constructions de 1927 et 1929. Le dortoir des employés a quant à lui été construit en 1927 et d’autres bâtiments de service en 1937. Tous ces bâtiments secondaires ont également été conçus par Underwood et sont protégés au sein du district historique de Zion Lodge – Birch Creek depuis les années 1980. Le 12 avril 1995, un glissement de terrain obstrua le cours de la Virgin River en aval de l’hôtel. En deux heures, la rivière déviée détruisit par érosion une partie du seul chemin d’accès à l’hôtel. 450 personnes restèrent bloquées dans l’hôtel. Une route provisoire fut construite en 24 heures pour permettre l’évacuation des clients et du personnel. L’accès à l’hôtel fut à nouveau possible à partir du 25 mai 1995.

Zion Lodge is located in Zion National Park, Utah, United States. The lodge was designed in 1924 as a compromise solution between its developer, the Utah Parks Company, which wanted a large hotel, and National Park Service director Stephen Mather, who desired smaller-scale development. The Utah Parks Company had been formed in 1923 as a subsidiary of the Union Pacific Railroad, and was, like many similar programs, intended to stimulate passenger rail traffic to the national parks of southwest Utah. Gilbert Stanley Underwood designed the Zion Lodge as part of a series of similar structures for the Utah Parks Company at the north rim of the Grand Canyon and at Bryce Canyon National Park. Underwood's design was more modest in scale and detailing than those at the Grand Canyon and Bryce, substituting milled lumber for whole logs in a "studs-out" style. Underwood used less stonework, in smaller pieces. The structures were designed to be more in keeping with the character of the valley floor, which at the time of construction was still inhabited by settlers. Underwood would go on to design all of the Utah Parks Company buildings in the valley, many of which are included in the Zion Lodge Historic District, which surrounds the lodge. A fire in 1966 destroyed the original lodge. It was rebuilt within 100 days, but the original rustic look was lost in favor of expedience in reopening the lodge. A 1990 remodel restored its original look. In addition to the main lodge building there are a number of original buildings that remain in the lodge complex. This includes guest cabins built in 1927 and 1929, employee dormitories built in 1927 and 1937, and a few support buildings. All were designed by Underwood. On April 12, 1995, a landslide blocked the Virgin River downstream from the lodge. Over a period of two hours, the river had carved away 590 feet (180 m) of the only exit road from the canyon, trapping 450 guests and employees in the lodge. A one-lane temporary road was constructed within 24 hours to allow evacuation. Access to the lodge was restored on May 25, 1995. Zion Lodge is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
