Elegance is Just the Start

Operating Season:

  • Open All Year

Please Note: The Ahwahnee is currently in in the midst of an extensive Seismic Retrofit renovation project through the remainder of 2024.

Construction hours will be Monday-Thursday from 7:00 am - 5:30 pm. There will be some noise present during these hours, and we encourage our guests to be out enjoying the park. Our main kitchen, surrounding concrete and balconies are the main projects that may impact our guest’s experience. The seismic retrofit project is imperative to keeping the hotel safe and sturdy for several years to come. We appreciate our guests understanding and flexibility during these times.

The Ahwahnee shines as the crown jewel of the national park lodges. Known for its stunning interior design and architecture, The Ahwahnee was specifically designed to highlight its natural surroundings, featuring Yosemite Falls, Half Dome and Glacier Point. The hotel holds a historic heritage as it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a National Historic Landmark. The destination of queens and presidents alike, this distinctive Yosemite hotel offers a perfect balance of history, hospitality and elegance.

The Ahwahnee offers a gift shop with a focus on local artisans, a decadent sweet shop, a comfortable bar and a heated outdoor swimming pool. The Ahwahnee Dining Room is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Junior Suites

The El Dorado Diggins Suitewas at one time a private dining room, a co*cktail lounge, and a chapel in the 1940s. This unique suite features a king bed and a sunken living room, large windows and a slate entrance way.

The Mary Curry Tresidder Suite- called the Queen's Room since Queen Elizabeth stayed here on her visit to Yosemite in the 1980s - is ideal for honeymooners and rekindling old flames. The four-poser canopy bed and grand bathroom make for a decidedly romantic space.
