Surrounded by Capitol Reef National Park's towering red cliffs, this historic Mormon settlement offers orchards where visitors can pick seasonal fruit. Rangers at the visitor centre know which nearby hiking trails have fewer people and the best times to photograph Fruita's historic schoolhouse.
Had a great stay whilst travelling through the area. Room was spacious and bed was very comfortable. I wanted to stay in a wagon but as only visiting for 1 night, had to settle for a normal room but it was everything we needed. The pool and jacuzzi overlook a stunning backdrop and it was fab to watch the sun set over the Capitol Reef. Food in the restaurant was satisfactory for what we needed but could have been better.

The rooms are very spacious, spotlessly clean and well appointed. There are some nice touches like the microwave popcorn. Torrey is easily walkable with lots of food options. Highly recommend.

Are you thinking about an apartment for your stay?
Often more spacious than a traditional hotel room, an apartment includes a kitchen, so you can have some home-cooked meals. Apartments are ideal for families who want the conveniences of home but also for solo travellers who want to stay in at night and plan out their next day.
