After a full day of hiking in Arches National Park or mountain biking on the Slickrock Trail, few things beat soaking in a hot tub under a dark Utah sky. Moab has over a dozen hotels with hot tubs, ranging from the no-frills Holiday Inn Express to the design-forward Hoodoo Moab, Curio Collection by Hilton. Most are 3-star properties, with room rates starting around $120 per night for a standard double. The main strip-along US-191-is where you'll find the majority, including The Gonzo Inn and Hyatt Place, both within a 5-minute drive of the park entrance. These hotels cater primarily to active travelers: hikers, bikers, and families who need to unwind after outdoor excursions.
If you want a hot tub that's more than an afterthought, pick a hotel that integrates it into a larger pool and fitness area. The SpringHill Suites by Marriott Moab, for example, has in-room private hot tubs connected to the pool. Aarchway Inn offers a free airport shuttle and a 24-hour hot tub next to its outdoor basketball court. For a quieter vibe, the Red Cliffs Lodge Moab-located 15 miles east along the Colorado River-has a riverside hot tub at its lodge, though guests need to drive back into town for most dining options. Budget around $150-$180 for a hot tub room at a well-reviewed property, and book directly for the best cancellation terms.
