Wild Places, Modern Comfort, Historic Lodging

Staying In And Around Our National Parks

Uncommon access to a world of unforgettable and some of America’s most beautiful and beloved landscapes. And while these extraordinary places are ones of vast beauty, breathtaking landscapes, and

scenic and geologic wonders, there is so much more

to discover when you visit: our historic lodges. Journeys

back in time. It may seem counterintuitive to go to the

great wilderness to visit its buildings, but many stand

on their own as keepers of times past. From classic log

structures and adobe buildings, to elegant 1920s-style

hotels and European-inspired chalets, the historic lodges

of our national parks have many stories to tell. Some

are so grand and luxurious, it’s hard to see their wild

edges. Others shine because they are simple and rustic.

Either way, these one-of-a-kind storied lodgings turn an

overnight stay into an experience unlike anything else.

Grand Canyon National Park LodgesImmense canyon. Layers of colorful rock. Unmatched vistas in almost every direction. It’s no wonder visitors flock from all over to see the Grand Canyon’s unique combination of geological color and erosional forms. And with the Grand Canyon National Park Lodges you’ll find premier in-park lodging right at the South Rim, from iconic historic lodges to an outpost at the bottom of the canyon floor. Here are some of our favorites.

El Tovar

Stay at the crown jewel of Historic National Park Lodges, the legendary El Tovar, located directly on the rim of the Grand Canyon. Envisioned as a cross between a Swiss chalet and a Norwegian villa, it first opened its doors in

1905. Due to the historic nature of the building, no two of its 78 rooms are alike, giving the hotel its distinctive charm. And each of the 12 hotel suites has a unique name, identity, and decor.

Explore El Tovar

Bright Angel Lodge & Cabins

Designed in 1935 by famed Southwest architect Mary E.J. Colter, this iconic lodge and surrounding cabins are rich with cultural history and natural rustic character. Accommodations range from cozy units and standard lodge rooms to historic cabins, including the one of a kind “Buckey O’Neill Cabin.” Bright Angel is a Registered National Historic Landmark.

Grand Canyon Railway Hotel

We always recommend an entertaining journey aboard our vintage rail cars to get to the heart of the Grand Canyon. But did you know, right next to the train depot and just a block away from downtown Williams, AZ, and historic Route 66, you’ll find the AAA Three-Diamond Grand Canyon Railway Hotel? And the luxury of a bygone era. Turn an ordinary trip into an all-round unforgettable experience.

Discover The Grand Canyon Railway Hotel

The Grand Hotel at the Grand Canyon

Rustic. Elegant. And only one mile from the South Rim entrance to the Grand Canyon. With every little luxury, The Grand is the only AAA Three-Diamond hotel near this natural wonder of the world. It looks like a sprawling three-story chalet, but it’s bright and comfortable, with an indoor heated pool, hot tub, and at the Canyon Star Steakhouse and Saloon, specialty hand-cut steaks and 24 draft beers from around the world.

Yellowstone National Park Lodges Deep canyons, misty waterfalls, steamy geysers. Vast valleys of a dazzling diversity of wildlife. With nearly 3,500 square miles to cover, exploring Yellowstone National Park is full of unforgettable experiences. And with more than its share of great lodges, there’s more to Yellowstone than meets its wild eye. Discover or rediscover the magic of the world’s first national park, a truly extraordinary geothermal wonder.

Old Faithful Inn

The most famous structure in Yellowstone—and possibly in any national park—is the distinctive Old Faithful Inn. With its trademark gabled, shingled roof, the Inn was built in 1903–1904 with local logs and stone, drawing its inspiration from nature, and is considered the largest log structure in the world.

Sit for a while gazing up at the towering lobby and its massive stone fireplace, as millions of others have, before retreating to well-appointed rooms and suites. An architectural gem and cultural icon.

Lake Yellowstone Hotel

National Historic Landmark. A crown jewel of National Park Lodges. The Grand Old Lady of the Lake. Built in 1891 and redesigned in 1903 by Robert Reamer, architect of several national park icons, the resort’s Colonial Revival style and towering white colonnades welcome you to a classic yet casual elegance in the middle of a spectacular wilderness. Soak up the ambiance in the sunroom, watch the lake’s changing moods, and enjoy the sounds of the Lake String Quartet.

Old Faithful Snow Lodge & Cabins

If you think Yellowstone is only a destination for warmer days, picture this. A snow covered wonderland with frozen waterfalls, snowy woods, and abundant wildlife. Accessible in winter only by oversnow vehicles (snowcoaches or snowmobiles), the Old Faithful Snow Lodge is rustic and warm, isolated and inviting. Enjoy the charm of heavy timber beams, rustic wood furniture, and cozy beds equipped with comfy blankets. Warm up by a bonfire outdoors or lounge with a hot drink by the fire. Stay in the main lodge or a quaint, cozy cabin, with the famed Old Faithful geyser a short walk away.

More Places To Stay In Yellowstone

Glacier National Park LodgesSeemingly endless acres of rugged and breathtaking landscapes. A tribute to wild natural places. Glacier National Park was established in 1910 as part of the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, a symbol of shared stewardship and the deep-rooted relationship between Canada and the U.S. The landscape and wildlife may be the star attractions here, but the historic lodges are just as important to the rich heritage of Glacier National Park.

Many Glacier Hotel

This historic hotel is also the largest in the park, the “Switzerland of North America.′′ Perched on the shores of Swiftcurrent Lake in a majestic valley, this magnificent swiss chalet style hotel was built in 1914–15. If the setting surrounding the hotel is awe-inspiring , the inside is nothing short of spectacular. With its magnificent towering lobby, cathedral height

ceiling in the dining room (complete with dramatic trusses, enormous fireplace, and panoramic vistas), and the hotel’s signature double-helix staircase, it’s easy to see why it’s listed as a National Historic Landmark. The five-story hotel contains two suites, seven family rooms, and 205 guest rooms that are rustic, yet comfortable.

Cedar Creek Lodge

Located just outside the park, Cedar Creek Lodge is inspired by the people, culture, and landscapes of Montana.

Enjoy fly fishing on Whitefish Lake, backcountry adventures in Glacier National Park, or stay at the lodge to enjoy the indoor pool and hot tub.

Lake McDonald Lodge

Another Swiss architecture-style gem with a stunning, multi-story lobby, Lake McDonald Lodge sits on a picturesque location on the eastern shore of beautiful Lake McDonald. Built in 1913, this historic lodge has 82 rustic, yet comfortable guest rooms split between the three-story main lodge, a row of cabins, Snyder Hall, and the exquisite Cobb House. A National Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Lodge is at the hub of activity, with the “jammer” Red Bus tours, boat cruises, horseback rides, evening ranger programs, and numerous other activities close by.

“ Zion—it is a testament to time, and echoing deep within the canyon

walls, its story is told.”

— Frank Waters, writer

Zion National Park LodgeIn the heart of incredible Zion Canyon with

unparalleled views of the towering sandstone cliffs.

A hiker’s paradise, the ultimate escape. Zion Lodge is

modest in comparison to its majestic surroundings but

your stay is anything but. Originally designed by Gilbert

Stanley Underwood (a frequent architect of national

park lodges) in the 1920s, Zion Lodge was completed

in 1925 and is listed on the National Register of Historic

Places. Built with whole logs and less stonework than

you typically see in national park buildings, it is the only

accommodation inside the park.

Sitting in harmony with the landscape and scale of the

surroundings, most rooms and suites of the warm and

inviting main lodge have a private porch or balcony and

the 40 historic cabins feature fireplaces and private

porches. The perfect place to add your story to the

many complex and beautiful layers of Zion.

What’s Old Is New AgainWe take a lot of pride in the significance and

beauty of our historic lodges and deep roots. But

that doesn’t mean there’s never anything new on

our unforgettable horizons.

The Oasis at Death Valley

Hottest, driest, lowest. Death Valley National Park is a

land of extremes. Deep canyons, salt flats, sand dunes,

desert peaks. This otherworldly landscape is home to

most unique places on the planet. And amid all of this,

a beautiful, peaceful oasis, with two distinct

hotel experiences to enjoy. Welcome to The Oasis

at Death Valley.

The Inn at Death Valley

of Death Valley National Park an elegant hideaway

since 1927. The historic Inn at Death Valley was once

an exclusive desert escape for Hollywood elites such
