Frommer's Review

This hotel's accommodations are fit for a king or queen, and it has hosted both. Queen Elizabeth II slept here, as have U.S. President John F. Kennedy, actor Clint Eastwood, poet Alfred Noyes, and NFL quarterback Steve Young. It's tough to top The Ahwahnee, a six-story cement, concrete, and stone structure that offers beautiful views from nearly every window. The hotel has a number of common rooms on the ground floor. There are three fireplaces large enough to stand in, and the rooms are furnished with large overstuffed sofas and chairs, perfect for reading or playing games after a day of hiking. Guest rooms are upstairs, and the majority of the suites are located on the top floor. Suites include a pair of rooms: one for sleeping and another for sitting. The Sunroom Suite is a bright pair of rooms in lime and yellow with comfy lounges and floor-to-ceiling French windows that open out onto the valley. The Library Room's rich decor includes a fireplace and walls of books. Regular rooms offer a choice of two doubles or one king-size bed, with a couch, plush towels, and snuggly comforters.

Facilities:
Restaurant, bar; outdoor pool; tour desk; limited room service; in-room massage services; babysitting for children out of diapers; dry cleaning; laundry service; express checkout; valet parking
