The Ahwahnee, the National Historic Landmark hotel in Yosemite Valley, will be temporarily closed January 2, 2023 – March 2, 2023. This closure is necessary to complete seismic upgrades to the historic building and a refurbishment of the kitchen floor. The park staff looks forward to completing these essential projects to improve and preserve the hotel for future generations to enjoy.


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 Suite

The El Dorado Diggins Suitewas at one time a private dining room, a cocktail 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.
