We stayed in one of the smaller rooms for 2 nights and the size of the room was fine. However, the paint was peeling on the ceiling and the woodwork in the room, like the frame of the closet, was filthy. But, the real reason to stay at the hotel is the location. It is exactly where you want to... More

We had a view of Yosemite Falls from our room. From the back patio of the hotel you can see beautiful cliffs and smaller waterfalls. The hotel is surrounded by beautiful, old redwoods. The parking is limited but you can use valet parking if you don't mind tipping. Leave your car and use the frequent shuttle to get to the... More

We loved the Ahwahnee. The property has a rustic beauty that integrates perfectly into the magnificent natural setting. Postcard views of Half Dome framed by the Merced River, the Royal Arches, a lovely onsite waterfall, and Yosemite Falls were all within a very short stroll of our cottage room. We really enjoyed the peaceful breakfast in the main Dining Room,... More

We only had drinks on the porch overlooking the rock formations in Yosemite but the environment was worth the price. Stellar's jays flew about and chipmunks scurried around our feet! Everyone in the shops was helpful but the real treat is to see this amazing building. The attention to detail is exquisite. May is the perfect time to be in... More

Best accommodations with jaw-dropping vista of half-dome at Yosemite despite small rooms. Overpriced for the amenities provided, but location location location !!

In 2012 we visited the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite for the Chef's Holidays. This is not our first time at the Ahwahnee or at this event. This is always special and we so enjoy hearing from the chef's and tasting their wonderful samples. The final night feast is always a memorable evening, great food and wine along with the opportunity... More

My wife and I were at the Ahwahnee a week ago for two nights. Late April and May are the best time to go to Yosemite, because the water flow is at its peak, which means that the great waterfall show is at its peak. Yosemite was beautiful with warm but not hot days and green grass everywhere. We stayed... More

I’ve visited the Ahwahnee over 20 times in the last 10 years. During the last few visits, April 2012 and May 2012, the hotel is better than ever. The breathtaking great room has had chairs reupholstered etc; the patio near the restaurant has been freshened up (terrific place to sit and enjoy the complimentary afternoon tea and cookies); fresh new...

Stunning historic property, grand impressive public areas and a location absolutely beyond compare. Rave reviews on the Dining Room meals as well, would highly recommend breakfast and/or dinner there. But the property condition and overall service levels are simply not up to par with the prices charged. Were it not for the hotel's location, these deterring aspects would decidedly make... More
