The Ahwahnee Review

This hotel is fit for a king or queen -- and it has hosted both. Queen Elizabeth II slept here, as did U.S. President John F. Kennedy. It's tough to top the Ahwahnee, a six-story concrete-and-stone structure that offers beautiful views from nearly every window. The common rooms feature three fireplaces large enough to stand in, plus overstuffed sofas and chairs that are the perfect spot for reading or playing games after a day of hiking. Regular guest rooms offer a choice of two doubles or one king-size bed, with a couch, plush towels, and snuggly comforters. The Sunroom Suite is a bright pair of rooms in lime and yellow, with floor-to-ceiling French windows that open out onto the valley. The Library Room's rich decor includes a fireplace and walls of books.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; babysitting; concierge; outdoor pool; room service; seasonal tennis courts

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
