We stayed at the El Tovar with our 2 children for one night on June 29th. We were able to change our room at check in from a Suite that only slept three to a beautiful room with 2 queen sized beds. It seemed like a lot of rooms opened up the day we arrived, so always check with the... more

We loved our deluxe king room (6444). Located on the end of the right hallway off the lobby. We could literally walk out onto the porch and the Grand Canyon was RIGHT there! Our first night there were 5 elk grazing on the front lawn of the hotel and long horned sheep the last day. Our room had plenty of... more

We visited the El Tovar at the Grand Canyon for two nights in May 2008. Firstly this hotel was built in 1903 and it has changed little since then, so don’t expect the Hilton. Having said that it has been preserved very nicely and is lovely to look at inside and out. Our room was pleasantly furnished and bigger than... more

We spent 4 nights at El Tovar, and we enjoyed every minute of it. The main plus here is the location, but we found our room (bellboy's suite) to be spacious and comfortable. It was a little pricey, but prices are not going be any cheaper in the future. Nearby parking can be a problem, but there is plenty of... more

We basically planned our week-long vacation on the availability of two rooms at the El Tovar. I had read that you needed to book a year in advance and that is pretty close to the truth. We booked in early October for an early June stay and there was only one night available, so we took it! The hotel is... more

I cannot say enough about how wonderful this hotel was!! Granted it is an older hotel but the rooms were completely updated and comfy! My kids (14 and 10) loved it and since it was right on the rim, you couldn't get any better scenery! Parking can be a challenge and make sure you save your National Park receipt so... more

My wife and I stayed here during the last week in May when we came to the Grand Canyon for the first time. The hotel was very nice, and we felt lived up to it's history/reputation. We had a so-so experience staying years ago in a "historical hotel" in Charlottetown, PEI but thankfully the El Tovar was nothing like that.... more

We enjoyed our one night's stay at El Tovar after being in Kachina for one night since the properties were full and I couldn't get 2 consecutive nights in one place. Despite our being on the property next door, we still had to wait until 3:58pm to check in . We sat on the porch enjoying the views while our... more

The reviews here prepared us for our stay and it is what we expected. Our room had 2 double beds and it was an average size. Our friends had a single bed in their room and it was quite small. The room is average in almost every way. Nothing stands out. The beds are average and so are the furnishings.... more
