Great central place to stay in the park.

Wonderful historic lodge with beautiful views. You can see the lodge from Hermit road overlooks. Food options were fair. They offered coffee/tea service for the mornings but never had it

Hotel location & the history behind it. Dining restaurant & lounge is nice & all the staff.
Maria Lei, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Stayed one night. When is right clean and perfectly adequate perhaps a little dated and could be modernised without raising the traditional touches fan was extremely noisy and little quirk such as not been able to charge phone from Bed not problematic but reflected how the age of the building

Everything especially the views were beyond our expectations.

William, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing location, beautiful property but the A/C in the 3 rooms that we had was very noisy and we reserved king beds and were queen, but the view is really beautiful and the restaurant was very nice
Fernando, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Honestly, recommend staying elsewhere. This place is in dire need of a renovation. Wouldn’t stay there again. Staff was nice but the rooms are two costly for what you actually get.

Gregory, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Modest room in a unique historical hotel at S Rim

We enjoyed our stay in the El Tovar Hotel for its unique historical ambience and exceptional location across from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The queen bed room was expensive but not great. The decor was quite modest, the mattress was too soft, the AC not very effective and loud, there weren't enough electrical outlets, and the TV picture was grainy. However, the bathroom was a generous size with appealing retro black and white tiles and the shower was great.
Barbara, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing views!

Our stay was amazing due to the location right on the South Rim. We lobe the historic hotel although felt that it was long overdue for a renovation of the guest rooms
Elise, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place dates from 1910 or so. We got one of the old and totally refurbished rooms all done in period style. View of the canyon from the patio bar or the inside bar. You are fifteen steps from the rim railing. This is the historic hotel at the end of the rail line from Williams. Nothing better than rubbing elbows with the ghosts of America’s historical leaders and legends.
John, 2-night trip

Fanstatic easily worth the price friendly staff, great view and great location right by the canyon.

Wonderful!

This is a wonderful place to stay. All of the staff are highly attentive and very friendly.
John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Slightly disappointed in the size of the room. There was a pubic hair on the floor in the bathroom. The dining options were mediocre at best. With that being said the view was spectacular! Our access to the canyon view, which is ultimately what we came for, was very convenient. Overall very happy because we got what we came for.
