At just 76,000 acres, Utah’s Arches National Park is fairly compact compared to other U.S. national parks—but it’s positively dense with otherworldly scenery. Dotted with more than 2,000 natural sandstone arches as well as other red-rock formations, Arches offers sweeping views and glittering skies after dark. Whether you come for a hike, stargazing, or a scenic drive, it’s easily accessible from the gateway town of Moab—about 15 minutes away—where you’ll find a range of places to stay, from reliably affordable chains to luxury resorts. Here that the best hotels near Arches National Park.
