10 Luxury Hotels Located Near U.S. National Parks - AFAR

"A colorful, collegiate-inspired hotel located near old-growth floodplain forests and less than a half-hour from the park, featuring 119 guest rooms and decor that riffs on university motifs—Gamecock-inspired headboards, textured wallpapers and eclectic furnishings. The property delivers Southern hospitality with on-site dining in the Trophy Room, which serves American comfort food such as fried chicken and meatloaf alongside creative cocktails like the Shrub A Dub Dub (a mule-inspired drink with mezcal and blackberries). Its central location across from the university makes it a lively, design-forward home base for visitors to the nearby natural areas." - Alexandra Cheney
