History in the Heart of Yosemite

The Wawona Hotel stands as a testament to Yosemite's history, evolving from a humble mid-1800s log cabin to a cherished Victorian-era retreat. Once a stopover for travelers, including President Theodore Roosevelt, the hotel now offers a blend of timeless charm and natural beauty. Its authentic Victorian architecture, period furnishings, and serene surroundings make it a beloved destination for those seeking history and relaxation in the heart of Yosemite. 
Beginning December 2, 2024, the historic Wawona Hotel in Yosemite National Park will close for a comprehensive condition assessment. The closure follows a recent roof replacement project that uncovered the need for further investigation. All impacted guests have been notified and refunded. Please check back for updates on the reopening date.
