Open since 1927, The Ahwahnee is one of America's most distinctive hotels -- unparalleled in magnificence and charm. The hotel is a great American castle, massive and warm with huge cathedral ceilings, enormous stone hearths and richly colored Native American and Oriental rugs. The hotel was designated a National Historic Landmark on June 2, 1987.

     The Ahwahnee Accommodations include 123 guest rooms (99 in the main building and 24 cottage rooms) and 4 parlor rooms. These rooms are the top-of-the-line in-park Accommodations. Ahwahnee rooms feature comfortable furnishings including upholstered chairs, televisions, refrigerators, bathrobes, hair dryers and bath amenities. Some rooms have king-size beds.

     Each room is accented with original Native American designs and is ideal for those guests who desire more service. An Ahwahnee Parlor is a sitting room (without a bathroom) adjoining a hotel room. Guests may book a parlor in conjunction with the adjoining room to create a suite, however, parlor rooms may not be booked separately. Each parlor has its own unique decor. Ahwahnee Cottage Rooms are located in a wooded setting on The Ahwahnee grounds. Guests enjoy all the services and facilities of the Ahwahnee.

     The Ahwahnee provides concierge service, bell service, valet parking, turn-down service, room service, daily in-room ice service and afternoon tea served in the Great Lounge. The Ahwahnee Dining Room, Great Lounge and Solarium are just steps away from any guests' door.

The hotel houses a unique gift shop, Sweet Shop, The Ahwahnee Lounge, swimming pool, and tennis courts. Evening activities also include enlightening interpretive slide presentations.
