Fodor's Expert Review View Hotel
Monument Valley Rd., Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, Arizona, 84536, USA Fodor's Choice
The Navajo tribe operates this sleek pink-stucco hotel, the only lodging inside Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park and one of the most spectacularly situated hotels in the Southwest, with astounding vistas that lend the hotel its name. Nearly all the rooms face east toward the iconic Mittens and Totem Pole formations, and all have private balconies, flat-screen TVs, tile floors, and brightly hued Navajo bedspreads. You can read or relax in a cavernous lobby with tall windows, leather chairs, and hand-carved furnishings, or work out in a small gym looking toward Mitchell Butte. Continental breakfast in the adjacent restaurant is complimentary mid-January through March, and available for a reasonable fee the rest of the year.
