Historic Hotel in Beautiful Location

El Tovar is a beautiful, historic hotel right on the south rim. Main complaint is the room AC unit in the room was very noisy. Make restful sleeping difficult. Good food options with the Bright Angel Lodge.

Modest room in a unique historical hotel at S Rim

We enjoyed our stay in the El Tovar Hotel for its unique historical ambience and exceptional location across from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The queen bed room was expensive but not great. The decor was quite modest, the mattress was too soft, the AC not very effective and loud, there weren't enough electrical outlets, and the TV picture was grainy. However, the bathroom was a generous size with appealing retro black and white tiles and the shower was great.

6/10 Good

Just OK, consider other options

Our stay here was just OK - we weren’t made to feel particularly welcome, which given this is likely a trip of a lifetime to the Grand Canyon was a shame. We really disliked our evening meal in the restaurant. It was overpriced and was not fine dining. We preferred our lunch in the Bright Angel lodge next door. This was the single most expensive nights accommodation on our trip to the US and it wasn’t worth it, not really. The room and beds were fine, it just wasn’t the special stay we were expecting.
Melanie, 1-night trip

Great place to stop and see the canyon. Parking sucks though if you’re staying overnight.

Rooms are a little “old school” but the facility is iconic and the location, views and atmosphere are truly breathtaking.

El Tovar Stay

We arrived early and stopped by the front desk to verify our reservation. Not only was our reservation in order but they gave us a room even though it was way in advance of their checkin time. They also made reservations for breakfast in the morning.

It’s very rustic and rather expensive given that, but we were paying for the location. Dinner was excellent, and the free coffee was delicious.
