Merging with nature: the most beautiful hotels in US national parks

There really is no wrong way to experience US national parks, whether you're stopping by on a road trip or camping out for a week. And while rustic cabins and tents are great, many of our 62 parks offer more luxurious alternatives within established boundaries. Edition Conde Nast Traveler has collected the best hotels in national parks where you can have a good rest.

The hotels have the best of both worlds: king-size beds and air conditioning in the country's most beautiful scenery.

class="p1">Old Faithful Inn, Wyoming
  • Where is: Yellowstone National Park

The list of beautiful national park hotels starts with the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone. Opened in 1904, the building is considered one of the first examples of "park architecture", designed to help park facilities (such as information centers or hotels) blend in harmoniously with their surroundings. In addition to being the largest log hotel in the world, it features a huge 85-foot-tall (26 m) stone fireplace. Its best feature is undoubtedly its proximity to the Old Faithful geyser, which you can see from your windows.

  • Where is: Zion National Park

People have slept in the shade of tall sandstone cliffs in Zion National Park for more than 8000 years.

Zion Lodge has standard hotel rooms, as well as 40 lodges with private verandas, suites with living rooms and flat-screen TVs. But when you're surrounded by wildlife and 3800-foot (1,1 km) sandstone cliffs, we hope you don't think to reach for this console.

  • Where is: Glacier National Park

While the lack of TVs, air conditioning and internet isn't usually a plus when booking a room, the technology-poor Many Glacier Hotel is a notable exception thanks to its location in the incredibly scenic Glacier National Park.
