Gateway Canyons Resort is located near the Utah border in Palisade, Western Colorado. This peaceful town is renowned for its peach orchards and derives its name from the adjacent cliffs. The towering Palisade is an isolated hill with steep sides, stretching three miles (4.9 km) in length.
Gateway Canyons chose this breathtaking location, with cliffs, mesas, deep rugged canyons, and a flat desert in the heart of Red Rock Country, to build a village-like resort.
The resort's architecture draws inspiration from the rugged beauty of the American Southwest. The buildings are seamlessly integrated into the majestic natural surroundings of the Colorado Plateau.
Located at an altitude of 4,500 ft (1,372 meters), summer days can be hot, while the nights can be chilly enough to require a pullover.
The village is built on over 500 acres (200 hectares) of beautiful land in an Adobe-style architecture, using natural materials with earthy tones to complement the desert scenery.
Entrada
Walking around the resort's property, you'll feel like you're strolling through a well-designed village. This village has some of the best cafés and restaurants within just a few minutes' walk from your room. Among the four dining options at Gateway Canyon, Entrada is the one that serves all-day meals.
Paradox Grille Restaurant
Paradox brings a countryside atmosphere to the resort. Its restaurant serves classic southwestern dishes, and the gaming room upstairs features a pool table, shuffleboard, and various other fun activities.
Kiva Café
The resort's specialty café is open seasonally (from May 1). Here, you can slurp Cappuccino next to a pond surrounded by trees.
Rooms, Suites & Casitas
The resort offers three different types of accommodations: rooms, suites, and casitas. Rooms and suites are located in Kiva Lodge and Kayenta Lodge.
Kiva Lodge has 38 rooms spread around the resort's centrally located pool. The interiors of these rooms reflect the colors of nature that surround the resort.
Kayenta's rooms and suites are located within the original adobe structures that make this resort so unique. Their rough-luxe design features wooden sliding doors, handcrafted solid wood furniture, and vintage ceiling fans to cool off during hot days.
The casita accommodation is the most spacious option, providing a minimum of 800 square feet (74 square meters) of well-designed space.
With wooden-beamed ceilings, brick-laden fireplaces, beautiful dark parquets, vintage chandeliers, and custom artisan furnishings from Peru, the casitas enhance the experience of the Red Rock Country to the next level.
What else? These unique Casitas have a private deck or patio with a fire pit, a luxurious stone tile outdoor shower, a free-standing soaking tub, and spa body care products.
The top-of-the-range Stargazer Casita has a second floor with incredible unobstructed night-sky views.
Gateway Canyons' swimming pools are open daily from 10 AM to 10 PM. You can enjoy breathtaking sunset views while relaxing in the water or at the poolside cabanas with your favorite cocktail. Food and drinks are provided by Cantina.
The resort has a separate building for its spa, where massages, nourishing facials, and body scrubs are available. The spa at Gateway is open between 10 AM and 6 PM, except on Monday and Tuesday.
On chilly evenings, cozy up in the comfortable chairs by the pool's firepit and enjoy the crackling fire while admiring the stunning Palisade scenery.
An outdoor picnic at the Gateway Canyons Resort is a posh experience with luxurious and decorative tableware. The setting is lush and green, like an oasis in the midst of a desert.
Canyonlands National Park
Gateway Resort offers a variety of outdoor activities for adventure enthusiasts. You can choose from Jeep/UTV tours, off-road biking, guided hikes, and open-air archery.
But the resort's most unique activity is the opportunity to pretend to be a paleontologist for a day. With the help of local experts, you can search for dinosaur footprints and other remnants of ancient and prehistoric life about a 45-minute drive from the resort.
