Become one with nature without sacrificing comfort. This page guides you to the finest IHG hotels situated near breathtaking US national parks, select state parks, and even a few renowned parks abroad. Whether you’re venturing to the majestic landscapes of Yellowstone or the serene lake shore of Indiana Dunes, chic accommodations ensure you can indulge in the great outdoors while still having world-class dining, soothing spas, and sophisticated amenities available to you. IHG redefines the adventure experience, offering you the best of both worlds—nature’s wonders and unparalleled luxury with epic hikes, stunning views, and the plush elegance of your modern guest room at the end of the day. With over 400 national parks in the US, which one will you choose for your next adventure?
With 63 national parks in the US, you’d need to visit 31 states and two US territories to experience them all. Many travelers visit parks in “clusters,” making it easy to group several parks into a one-to-two-week trip, and check those coveted destinations off your bucket list. While Yosemite boasts breathtaking mountains, waterfalls, and forests, attracting hikers and climbers from all over the world, Death Valley offers a surreal landscape of sand dunes, canyons, and salt flats that contrast with the surrounding mountain ranges — and each park provides a unique chance to connect with nature and the great outdoors. If you’ve thought of visiting multiple parks on the same trip, here are some of our favorite combos for an unforgettable adventure:
Experience the majestic peaks of the Tetons and the geothermal wonders of Yellowstone in one amazing trip.
