We looked at all the options for Yosemite, from Curry Camping to Ahwahnee, and decided that as we only had one night, as it was a honeymoon (and as one of us isn't into camping) we'd go exorbitant for the big hotel experience. The reality is that all the hotels in the valley are hugely overpriced, so it didn't feel... More

We booked in advance and were able to avoid weekends so we got bargain prices in the $425 per nigh range. The hotel is something out of the past and I considered it a privilege to experience it. By all means go to Yosemite and at least go have lunch at The Ahwahnee and experience its grandeur and history, walk... More

Beautiful setting in a majestic location, how can you go wrong? Drove in for a 2 day stay from the north bay area with spectacularly clear vistas so photographs were absolutely splendid all the way into the valley. The Ahwahnee is the perfect hotel in the most awesome of locations. Soaring ceiling heights resplendant with carved wood in the interior... More

We only stayed at the Ahwahnee for one night, but what an experience. We'd booked a Classic room, but on checking in were surprised and delighted to find we'd been upgraded to one of the four suites in the hotel...it was superb! We enjoyed both dinner and breakfast in the dining room, again an amazing experience, and marvelled at the... More

Those who criticize The Ahwahnee for being old don't understand the historical importance of this place and worse, they don't enjoy the opportunity to experience the wonderful charm that is in every corner of this iconic property. Visiting Yosemite National Park is an unique experience but staying at The Ahwahnee adds an extra layer of magic. The lobby and the... More

We have stayed at all the historic national park hotels but this one, so we decided to splurge this year and stay at the Ahwahnee. A standard room is about $500/night, so it was definitely a splurge. The hotel is full of history, the dining room food is fabulous, and the amenities are lovely (tea in Great Lounge in the... More

The Ahwahnee Lodge in Yosemite National Park is a true gem, and one of a kind mountain lodge. I visited with my mom from Switzerland, and the lodge is very grand and impressive. We loved everything about it, and service was excellent. I have been a regular visitor to Yosemite National Park for 11 years, and always visit the Ahwahnee... More

We stayed in one of the cottages on the property-which was perfect since I had two little ones in tow. Comfortable king size bed seperate room with closet/changing area-bathroom had a sink outside of the tub/shower toilet room--it was an easy stroll to the main hotel. The service in the bar for breakfast as well as for lunch was terrible--the... More

A charismatic hotel, retaining the charms of its 1920's construction. Could not be more perfectly suited to explore the wonders of Yosemite. The rooms are not luxurious but you a paying to have the view of a waterfall from you room window! - it's worth it! The walks are incredible - The mist trail up the side of a gushing... More
