Our stay at Open Sky Zion was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The accommodations were stunning; beautifully designed, spacious, and thoughtfully appointed. One of our favorite features was the outdoor shower, which made the experience feel even more unique and connected to the surrounding landscape.
What truly set this property apart was the exceptional service. Every member of the front desk team was warm, friendly, and genuinely eager to help. Whether we needed recommendations, assistance with planning our days, or a few extra comforts to make our stay even more enjoyable, they always went above and beyond. The concierge service was outstanding. They took the time to listen to everything we hoped to experience during our visit to Zion and arranged daily excursions that perfectly matched our interests. Open Sky Zion exceeded our expectations in every way. Between the gorgeous accommodations, personalized service, and unforgettable experiences, this was one of the best resort stays we've ever had. We can't wait to return!
Open Sky Zion was one of the best and most unique stays we’ve had in a long time. We stayed in Star Seeker 111, and the space was even larger and more impressive than the photos suggest. It felt incredibly spacious the entire time — never cramped — while still being cozy, warm, and inviting.
The king bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the queen bed was perfect for stargazing after sunset. The structure itself is so well-built with real windows and doors that you never really feel like you’re “in a tent,” yet the soaring ceilings and openness still give you the “glamping” experience.
The bathroom was surprisingly large, with heated floors and dual shower heads.
We appreciated using the gas stove on chilly mornings and making s’mores at the outdoor fire pit at night.
The drive in is definitely an off-road adventure for the 3.5 miles trek, but you get the hang of it quickly and it honestly adds to the experience and sense of escape.
Also — Black Sage was easily the best meal we had anywhere near Zion. Excellent food, thoughtful preparation, and a very solid wine list in an area where the dining scene can otherwise feel pretty pedestrian.
Wonderful experience overall. We only wish Open Sky had locations near more national parks because we’d become devoted repeat guests.
We stayed here for a photographer retreat for 3 nights and also had 5 other photographers and a couple others stay here in their own cabins. I was blown away at our room with the glass roof. There were so many stars to see and it was perfect for a cold night in Feb.
The staff was amazing at accommodating us and helping us find activities around Zion to take our group. They connected us with amazing companies that were just as wonderful about taking care of us.
We just stayed at Open Sky for the second time, and it was just as incredible as the first! We even brought friends with us because we loved it so much. The giant luxury tents are spotless, spacious, and beautifully designed. The location is absolutely stunning, the complimentary breakfast is delicious, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Everything about this place is top-notch. We can’t wait to come back again!
I was honestly surprised to see so many five-star reviews. We’ve stayed at many of the world’s top luxury hotels, so I came here with high expectations. In my opinion, this property is closer to a 3-star experience than a true luxury resort.
To be fair, I think it depends on what you’re looking for. If you enjoy glamping or normally go camping, this is probably an excellent experience. The accommodations are clean, the setting is beautiful, and the staff is friendly.
However, if you’re expecting the level of service and luxury you’d find at a Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Aman, or similar high-end hotels, this isn’t it. We paid about $1,200 per night for one of the best accommodations, and at that price I expected a true luxury hotel experience. Instead, it felt much more like staying in a high-end Airbnb that costs around $300–$400 per night.
Although there is a front desk and you can communicate with the staff by text message, most things are still self-service, which is very similar to how many Airbnb properties operate today. The room itself was clean and comfortable, but the overall experience lacked the personalized service, amenities, and attention to detail that define a genuine luxury hotel.
Overall, I wouldn’t describe this as a luxury resort. I’d describe it as a very nice glamping property or a premium Airbnb experience. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll probably love it. But if you regularly stay at top luxury hotels and expect that same level of service and refinement, you may find it underwhelming, especially considering the price.
