Wawona Hotel, Mountain lodge from 1876 in Yosemite National Park, United States
The Wawona Hotel features six Victorian buildings with antique furnishings, 104 rooms, and various outdoor recreational facilities across the property grounds.
Galen Clark, a former gold prospector, constructed the first structure on this site as a log cabin along the original trail to Yosemite Valley.
The hotel maintains traditional evening gatherings where guests congregate in the lounge for piano performances, continuing a long-standing social tradition.
Located 27 miles from Yosemite Valley on Highway 41, the hotel operates from March through November with select December dates for winter visits.
