The historic Ahwahnee hotel in Yosemite Valley was completed in 1927.  One of the most distinctive resort hotels in North America, the Ahwahnee is well known for its great granite façade, striking beamed ceilings, massive stone hearths, richly colored Native American artwork, and finely appointed rooms.  The Ahwahnee offers a perfect balance of history, hospitality and elegance. It's no wonder that for generations this grand hotel has been the destination of queens and presidents alike.
