Yosemite National Park Sights

Ahwahnee Hotel Review

Gilbert Stanley Underwood, architect of the Grand Canyon Lodge, also designed the Ahwahnee. Opened in 1927, it is generally considered his best work. You can stay here (for $485 a night), or simply explore the first-floor shops and perhaps have breakfast or lunch in the bustling and beautiful Dining Room. The Great Lounge, 77 feet long with magnificent 24-foot-high ceilings and all manner of Indian artwork on display, beckons with big, comfortable chairs and relative calm.
