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)
