This was my third stay at El Tovar and, again, a wonderful choice. There are many hotel rooms at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon but El Tovar provides historic elegance not found in the standard hotel room. For me, it is worth a little extra money to stay right on the rim and not at one of the... More

We stayed for one night at the El Tovar after also staying at the Thunderbird and Bright Angel lodges also. The room was very nice but not extra special to justify the $250 a night. There may be rooms that do justify the cost but ours was not one of them. We had the room just around the corner from... More

I have been wanting to stay at the El Tovar ever since they featured it on the Travel Channel years ago. I knew it wouldn't be brand spanking new or modern. Instead, I felt like I was transported back in time to how the well-to-do vacationed back in the day. So much history! We splurged on the Zane Gray suite... More

We spent three nights here in a King Suite and found it to be very enjoyable. The hotel is very old but the rooms are very well maintained. The location of the hotel makes it very special with easy access to the canyon rim .Comfortable bed, good service and a great location!

I enjoyed this hotel but mainly because of the room. From hotel reviews of the rooms, I had low expectations. I reserved the Manager's Suite for one night as our splurge on our vacation. This suite was much more spacious than I thought it would be. It has two comfy queen beds, a mini-fridge/wet bar and living room. The room... More

We stayed in the El Tovar suite at the El Tovar lodge. It is a two room suite with a king size bed and a sitting room. The sitting room had two leather chairs and a desk. Both rooms were small. There was also a nice private bath. The best feature of the suite is the balcony that overlooks the... More

We stayed for a couple of nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. The room was upstairs, and whilst it didn't have a view of the Canyon, was pleasantly furnished, of a decent size and was clean and comfortable. The cocktail bar was well located, with an outside deck overlooking the Canyon, and service was friendly and attentive. We dined in the... More

I don't get why this hotel is such a big deal. We booked at the last minute (4 hours before arriving!) and had the option of the Maswik Lodge or this one and I fell for the hype of the "historic" El Tovar. The "terrace" room was more like a basement room that overlooked the parking lot. At about $200... More

This is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. The hotel itself, the food, people, and especially the location are excellent. My wife and sons want to go back. Make sure to try the breakfasts - they are wonderful! This is a lodge and if that's what you are into, you will really enjoy it.
