Guest reviews El Tovar Hotel, Grand Canyon

by mainereason Beijing, China

Such a memorable stay

Stayed here in mid January, it was surprisingly still quite busy. Checkin was friendly and quick, they were expecting us. The room was tight but had everything you could need. The bathroom was absolutely adorable with lots of subway tiling and sustainable toiletries. The water does take a while to get warm in the winter but it was perfect once it did. The restaurant is lovely and you do need reservations. Loved the French onion soup! It’s a great place to get up early and watch the sunrise over the canyon, there are lots of different nooks and seating Around the property.

Worth the trip

What a beautiful vacation. Beautiful hotel. Thank you J.T. for helping us choose the perfect room. Thanks to Chef, fabulous food. The hikes around the south room are very beautiful. The Grand Canyon is beautiful.

Beautiful historical hotel

The El Tovar is a beautiful historical hotel on the south rim of the Grand Canyon. The canyon is only steps away! The dining room was breathtaking and the food was excellent. The price was reasonable for the surroundings. The only problem we encountered was the heat in the room was marginal and the heat unit blew out only cool air. January is cold at Grand Canyon.

Great Atmosphere

While we didn’t stay here over Christmas due to it being booked we met up with friends that did. Their suite was awesome, as was the hotel itself in general. Had such a wonderful holiday feel to it. The restaurant had nice service and the food was some of the best in the area. And the location to seeing the canyon was fantastic. Worth a stay and definitely a visit inside.

So happy we stayed

Last minute roas trip with retired friends to South Rim. Arrived during the afternoon so we got to catch the view. Booked 2 standard non view rooms which were just fine. Queen beds, no views. Also booked the "solarium suite," main floor, end of hall. (It has an adjoining room.) It has a friendly sitting area with a small sofa, 2 wing chairs with Ottomans, a small dining table with 3 chairs, TV, mini frig and keurig coffee maker. Really comfortable spot for us to relax together and talk about our plans for the day. It has a separate bedroom with King bed and TV. Ok bed and bedding. QUIET ROOM. Basic bathroom with tub\shower, pedestal sink, toilet and small shelf. Plenty of towels. Staff was friendly and efficient. Gift shop is nice. I am to happy we choose to stay inside the park at this historic hotel. I recomend.
