This handsome new Union Pacific hotel at Cedar City would be an
outstanding establishment in a metropolis. It is a three-story structure
of cream brick with sweeping wings and a broad verandah; seventy-five
guest rooms with tub and shower baths; a spacious dining room; a banquet
room, ballroom, billiard room, barber shop, and a luxurious lobby. The
dining-room service is of the highest metropolitan standard and many
delicacies from the local markets are included in the menus. El
Escalante Hotel, named after Padre Sylvestre de Escalante, the Spanish
explorer-priest who was the first white man to visit the region (1776),
is adjacent to the Union Pacific Station. Reservations and arrangements
for any automobile tours may be made in the lobby.
