Bright Angel Lodge
$-$$, South Rim
Fodor's Review:
Famed architect Mary Jane Colter designed this 1935 log-and-stone structure, which sits within a few yards of the canyon rim and blends superbly with the canyon walls. It offers a similar location to El Tovar for about half the price. Accommodations are in motel-style rooms or cabins. Lodge rooms don't have TVs, and some rooms do not have private bathrooms. Scattered among the pines, 50 cabins, some with fireplaces, have TVs and private baths. Expect historic charm but not luxury. The Bright Angel Dining Room serves family-style meals all day and a Warm Apple Grunt dessert large enough to share. The Arizona Room serves dinner only. Adding to the experience are an ice-cream parlor, gift shop, and small history museum with exhibits on Fred Harvey and Mary Jane Colter.
