The Ahwanee Hotel, Yosemite National Park

As a National Historical Landmark and one of the most distinctive resort hotels in North America, The Ahwahnee is well known for its great granite façade, striking beamed ceilings, massive stone hearths, richly colored Native American artwork, and finely appointed rooms. Featuring 123 rooms, comprised of 99 hotel rooms, parlors and suites and 24 cottages, The Ahwahnee offers a perfect balance of history, hospitality and elegance. It’s no wonder that for generations this grand hotel has been the destination of queens and presidents alike.

Rooms & Accommodation

• Built at a time when individual living space was much smaller, the sleeping accommodations at The Ahwahnee are not of the same proportion of modern-day hotels. This difference in size is more than offset by the grand scale of the public space and the rich décor that defines the property
• Hotel Rooms
• Hotel rooms in the main building are appointed in rich fabrics, warm woods and Native American motifs. They offer exceptional views of Yosemite Valley’s spectacular scenery including Half Dome, Yosemite Falls and Glacier Point.
• Parlors
• The four parlors are luxuriously furnished and provide unparalleled views of the most spectacular features of the valley. The parlors combine with hotel rooms to create suites. (Not available individually)
