The Ahwahnee Yosemite National Park Lodging and Activities - California - United States

History Meets Timeless Elegance

The Ahwahnee offers unmatched elegance in Yosemite. With iconic views of Half Dome and Yosemite Falls, stunning architecture, and rich history, this National Historic Landmark blends luxury with nature. Enjoy fine dining, artisan shops, and a heated outdoor pool.

The Ahwahnee is near completion of a seismic retrofit renovation project in partnership with the National Park Service to preserve this iconic hotel. During the last phase of the project (May - August), the impacted areas will be isolated to the West Terrace and surrounding areas near the Dining Room. This work will result in some obstructed views throughout the process, and we expect construction noise between 10 AM - 4 PM, Monday - Friday. We have done our best to mitigate any negative guest experiences throughout these final phases, though we recognize it may cause inconveniences and conditions not expected at The Ahwahnee. We thank you for your patience and understanding as this project is completed. There will continue to be some temporary adjustments to service in the Dining Room, click here for current Dining services and updates.
