The outdoor hotel, located in Southern Utah, was recognized in the “Where to Stay: Nearby Nature” category
ESCALANTE, UT, UNITED STATES, October 1, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Ofland Escalante has been named a winner in Sunset Magazine’s 2026 Travel Awards, which recognizes the best hotels, destinations, and travel experiences across the American West. Selected by a panel of Sunset editors and experts, Ofland Escalante is one of 14 hotels honored in the “Where to Stay: Nearby Nature” category.
The Nearby Nature category celebrates hotels that pair an elevated hospitality experience with meaningful access to the outdoors. Sunset called Ofland Escalante “glamping done right,” writing: “mod cabins and Airstreams offering 360 degrees of red-rock views, a drive-in movie theater, pool, hot tub, and spa-quality bathhouses with private outdoor showers. Sure, you come for the nature, but at this property you hardly need to head out to the parks.” The winners are featured online at sunset.com and in print in Sunset’s October/November 2026 Travel Issue, on newsstands now.
“Receiving this accolade from Sunset means we’re on the right track with Ofland Escalante,” said Noah Ellis, CEO of Ofland Hotels. “Our goal is to open outdoor hotels in beautiful areas and take great care of our guests. I can’t say enough about how terrific our team in Escalante is, and when you combine that with one of the most beautiful landscapes in the Southwest, the rest takes care of itself.”
Ofland Escalante sits along the Scenic Byway 12, a federally designated “All-American Road” between Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef National Parks, within Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Guests stay in private cabins and vintage Airstreams, with access to spa-quality bathhouses, open-air rainfall showers, a heated pool, an oversized hot tub, individual fire pits at every cabin, food truck, and a drive-in theater showing classic films from the seats of vintage cars. The property is open mid-March through late October. Rates start at $149 per night with no resort fees or pet fees.
