Ahwahnee Hotel, Luxury lodge in Yosemite Valley, United States
The Ahwahnee Hotel features granite facades, exposed timber beams, and massive stone fireplaces that complement the surrounding granite cliffs of Yosemite Valley.
Built in 1927 under architect Gilbert Stanley Underwood's direction, the hotel required 5,000 tons of stone and 1,000 tons of steel transported through mountain terrain.
The grand dining room, with its 34-foot beamed ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, serves as a central gathering space for guests to experience park traditions.
The hotel provides accommodations ranging from standard rooms to forest cottages, with a heated outdoor pool and direct access to the Valleywide Shuttle at stop number 3.
The structure incorporates a sophisticated fire suppression system disguised within its rustic architecture, using a network of concealed sprinklers behind wooden panels.
