This Yosemite Village hotel offers complimentary shuttle service for convenient access to park attractions. Diverse menu options with a focus on quality and local ingredients are available at the on-site restaurant. Free WiFi, business centre, and 24-hour front desk are also provided.

“My exploration suggests this historic lodge stands as an iconic base for experiencing Yosemite's natural grandeur, with its preserved vintage elegance and the attentive service from staff like Alma and Kat adding a genuine human touch to the considerable expense. It's clear that retaining original decor, including wood-burning fireplaces and the grand fireplace room, contributes to a palpable sense of stepping back in time, complemented by meals in the dining room with live piano. The hotel's proximity to park features, alongside practicalities like EV charging, solidifies its place as a significant, if costly, option for a truly immersive visit.”
