Cliffrose Lodge

Cliffrose Lodge, Vibrant Management’s original property, is a boutique hotel located along the Virgin River in the heart of St. George, Utah. A Curio Collection by Hilton hotel, Cliffrose features a variety of room types to choose from. 

Standard rooms include the Canyon View Single King and Canyon View Double Queen. Each features either a king bed or two queens in rooms with unique, vintage-inspired decor and private balconies perfect for enjoying your morning coffee while taking in views of Zion National Park’s rocky peaks.

But if you’re looking for more space to stretch out before and after the race, opt for one of Cliffrose’s Riverside rooms or suites. These feature additional living spaces with couches, and some even feature full kitchens or extended outdoor spaces. 

Blackout curtains in every room ensure that you get a great night’s rest before the race. And after, you can enjoy easy access to Zion National Park, or spend a day or two unwinding poolside or visiting the on-site Five Petals Spa for a bit of relaxation and pampering.

Watchman Villas

Watchman Villas is another Vibrant Management property located in the heart of St. George. This property is just one mile from the South Entrance of Zion National Park, with a shuttle stop just steps away from the property that provides quick and easy access to the park without having to worry about finding parking in town.

The property features five unique, private villas, including both one- and two-bedroom units. Each features spacious living spaces, with fully-equipped kitchens and dining areas that make it easy to enjoy a healthy pre-race meal—or to indulge in some snacks afterwards!

Large soaking tubs in the master bathrooms are perfect for soaking sore muscles. And spacious outdoor living spaces in some of the villas are ideal for toasting to a great race!
