Best place you can stay near the canyon. Staff is always great and after the day crowd leaves, you will feel like you have a private spot on the rim. Tip your bartenders and eat at the restaurant.

We had a fabulous stay at the El Tovar. The location is the highlight of staying at this hotel. You are literally on the on the canyon wall. We ate at the lounge and at the restaurant. I would say the food is OK. You’re staying there for the View and the opportunity to stay in a historical hotel.

El Tovar provides perfect space for groups to gather and also find their own private time when desired. Location couldn’t be better for exploring the magical Grand Canyon from any vantage point. The free coffee in the mezzanine was a special treat as you can awaken on your own time as friends and family meander up in the morning. A wonderful place I hope to return to someday.

Place is awesome, can’t get any closer to the canyon, food in the restaurant is awesome, location and shuttle bus service is great. My only two negative experiences was need more parking and their internet was terrible. If I come back, I would arrive Saturday and leave Wednesday, little less crowded.

The fancy price for the room is proximity to the Grand Canyon. The room was a flash back to the 1960s. Breakfast was great and wonderful servers.
