Watch the cosmos drift across the Utah sky from a luxury glass geodesic dome in Cannonville, situated in a private canyon just 15 minutes from Bryce Canyon National Park.
Clear Sky Resorts Bryce Canyon, conceived by developer Hal Feinberg and opened in August 2024, sits in a private 80-acre canyon in Cannonville, Utah, along Scenic Byway 12. As the first glass dome resort in the United States, the property features geodesic structures constructed with dual-pane, low-e glass triangles rather than the PVC canvas typical of other glamping outposts. The resort plans to host 62 luxury domes, with individual units ranging from the 438-square-foot Lil Dipper to the 790-square-foot Milky Way, which features a spiral staircase leading to a loft with two twin beds. For those seeking a quirky aesthetic, the Big Dipper Stardust category includes the Supernova dome, complete with a disco ball, disco decor, and an infinity mirror dance floor. Inside, each climate-controlled dome is equipped with a private deck, a kitchenette with a mini-refrigerator and microwave, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a designer bathroom featuring a rainfall shower and a Bluetooth-enabled mirror.
At the heart of the resort is the Sky Nova Café, Bar & Grill, housed in one of the largest glass dome restaurants in the world. The dining room features a 28-foot floor-to-ceiling panoramic glass wall that frames the dramatic sandstone cliffs running along the property's edge. Inside, the space-age aesthetic is defined by an oval bar, neon lighting, and metallic gold and silver furniture reminiscent of a futuristic spacecraft. Breakfast brings a playful menu of whimsically named dishes, including child-sized flying saucer pancakes, space monkey French toast, astro-cado toast, and a cosmic quesadilla stuffed with scrambled eggs. At dinner, the culinary focus shifts to sophisticated regional fare, such as pan-seared rainbow trout with a lemon-dill cream sauce, and a signature wild game burger crafted from a blend of boar, beef, elk, and bison.
Evenings at the resort center around community and the exceptionally dark skies of Southern Utah. Guests gather around artisan firepits for nightly s'mores, often accompanied by live acoustic music from local singer-songwriters, or challenge each other to lawn games like cornhole and frisbee golf. Guided stargazing sessions are led by local experts who help guests navigate the constellations, while the resort's secluded canyon setting, located 15 minutes southeast of Bryce Canyon National Park, naturally minimizes light pollution. To preserve this fragile high desert environment, the resort utilizes energy-efficient HVAC systems in its glass domes and partners with Kind Traveler’s Every Stay Gives Back program, directly donating a portion of lodging proceeds to support the conservation of the neighboring Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
For a memorable dinner at Sky Nova Café, Bar & Grill, order the signature wild game burger, which features a flavorful blend of boar, beef, elk, and bison meat, and pair it with a celestial-themed cocktail from the futuristic oval bar.
