The tiny tourist town of Kanab isn’t known for its high-end
hotels, but the 28-room, upper-middle-range Canyons Boutique Hotel is perhaps the town’s nicest option. In 2010, this hotel updated its rooms
and added a stylish restaurant. Rooms are traditionally elegant and inviting, with four-poster beds, flat-screen TVs, patterned carpets and wallpaper, and coffeemakers; some upgraded rooms have fireplaces and separate soaking tubs. Nice freebies include a breakfast buffet and use of cruiser bikes for jaunts into town. The hotel lacks amenities such as a spa and fitness center
but there’s a small pool that guests can use at the hotel’s adjacent sister
property. Those seeking a more modern vibe with an on-site pool might enjoy the
nearby Quail Park Lodge.
Scene
An upper-middle-range boutique with a modern Victorian, residential look and a nice outdoor area for lounging
The exterior of the upper-mid-range Canyons Boutique Hotel has a modern Victorian feel. Indoors, the hotel's entry is a two-story space highlighted by a sweeping staircase, walls accented with wood panels, and colorful glass chandeliers and wall sconces. Breakfast is a busy time here. The stylish breakfast room is the place for guests -- mostly couples and older leisure travelers -- to fuel up
before setting off on journeys to some of the country’s most picturesque
National Parks such as Bryce Canyon, the Grand Canyon, the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park (a local jaunt), and various Western movie sets. Those who prefer to explore the
town of Kanab can hop on one of the hotel’s free cruiser bikes for a short ride
to local shops, museums, and restaurants. In the evenings, the hotel’s new Sego restaurant
is a casual spot for small plates and regionally focused new American cuisine washed down with
craft cocktails. The stylish restaurant and the outdoor firepit and lounge area are prime spots for rehashing the day's excursions. This hotel is a good pick for those seeking a cozy, well-maintained base for exploring the region.
