Best Western Hotels in Page: A Practical Guide

Page sits on the Arizona side of Lake Powell, close to Glen Canyon Dam, Antelope Canyon, and Horseshoe Bend. It's a small desert town that exists largely to serve visitors heading to these sites, so lodging choices tend to cluster near the main highway corridors rather than in distinct tourist districts. This guide covers what to know about the town itself, how to plan the length and timing of your stay, and how to secure a good rate when booking directly.

About Page

Page was built in the 1950s as a housing town for workers on Glen Canyon Dam and has since grown into the main base for exploring Lake Powell and the surrounding canyon country. The town itself is compact, with most services, restaurants, and lodging within a few minutes of each other along the main roads.

The main draws are outside the town limits: Antelope Canyon (Upper and Lower, both requiring guided tours booked in advance), Horseshoe Bend just south of town, and the vast Lake Powell reservoir with its marinas and boat rentals. Glen Canyon Dam itself has a visitor center with viewing points.

Page Municipal Airport handles small commuter flights, but most visitors arrive by car, either as part of a Grand Circle road trip (Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, Monument Valley) or via a longer drive from Phoenix or Las Vegas.

Planning your stay

Two nights is a realistic minimum if you want to see Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and spend some time on the lake. Add a third night if you plan to do a boat tour or kayak trip on Lake Powell, since these take a half day or more.

Antelope Canyon tours sell out, especially in spring and summer when the midday light beams are visible in Upper Canyon. Book the canyon tour before you book your room dates, since tour availability is often the limiting factor.

Summer days are hot and the canyons can be crowded; spring and fall offer more comfortable temperatures for walking around Horseshoe Bend and the lake shoreline. Winter is quieter but some boat tours and marina services reduce their schedules.

Because Page is primarily a stopover town, most travelers use it as one stop in a longer loop rather than a standalone destination, so plan your driving days around it accordingly.

How to book the best rate

Bestwestern.online lets you check live rates for Best Western properties without creating an account, so compare your Page dates against nearby alternate dates if your schedule has flexibility — even a one-day shift can change availability and pricing during busy tour season.

Book direct rather than through a third-party aggregator to avoid added service fees and to have a direct line to the property if your plans change, particularly important here given how weather or tour cancellations can affect an itinerary.

If you're combining Page with other stops on a Southwest road trip, check rates for the whole itinerary at once so you can decide whether to shift a night from one town to another.

Confirm cancellation terms before booking, since lake and canyon tour bookings can shift your arrival time and you may need flexibility on your hotel dates.
