Ahwahnee Hotel

The world renowned Ahwahnee Hotel. Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Queen Elizabeth and many other heads-of-state have slept here. Dignitaries the world over have visited. Built in 1927, the grandeur of this place cannot be overstated. Huge fireplaces (big enough to stand upright in) burn real wood (as opposed to gas logs) in the lobbies and meeting rooms. 20 foot ceilings, Indian art and artifacts on display throughout, regular performances by international opera stars, The Dining Room, etc. etc. etc. Make your reservations one year in advance or forget it. Want the best? Try the 3-bedroom JFK Suite, only $900 per night. You are paying for the "grand experience" of staying at the Ahwahnee. The rooms are very small, having been originally designed in the 1920's. It's worth doing once.

Yosemite Lodge

This is the closest thing to a Holiday Inn in the park. It's on the valley floor near everything. Has a large lap pool (open to lap swimmers only early morning and 5-6pm). It has two nice restaurants, general store and the plushest and largest cocktail lounge in the valley. Valley shuttle buses swarm like bees so you won't need your car. Close to Yosemite Falls, the Yosemite Falls trail and "Camp 4" walk-in campground. There are some rooms with phones, but no TV or air conditioning. You should call at least a year in advance if you even have the slightest chance you will be visiting the park.

Curry Village

A collection of tent "cabins", half-cabins, and full cabins, This is a close to camping as you can get without sleeping on the ground. Tent cabins are canvas tents constructed on raised board platforms. It's comfortable, has a long history, and is in the center of everything. If you have kids, it's a very good choice. Near the pizza place, nice-but-small bar, and the best restaurants (in my opinion). Go Here for details on Curry Village.

Yosemite West Private Housing
25 minutes to valley floor

Yosemite West is a residential area that lies technically just outside the boundaries of YNP, but the only way to get there is through the park from Highway 41 S from Oakhurst, or the super long way from Mariposa. It is a collection of condos, private cabins (some very luxurious), B&B's and other smaller cabins. It is only 10 minutes from Badger Pass ski area, 30 minutes from Glacier Point and 15 minutes from the tunnel view, and 20 minutes from the valley floor. Many upper-management types from the park and Forest Service live here. It is very remote; there are no services, stores, etc. The closest civilization is Wawona, about 20 minutes south toward Oakhurst. But, it is definitely nice. It is a west-facing development and the sunsets can be absolutely spectacular! Yosemite Reservations has many properties in Yosemite West featuring hot tubs, pool tables, indoor hot tubs, saunas, king-size beds, and the highest ratios of bedrooms to bathrooms in the park. They also feature the most unique and unusual property, Camp One.

Beautiful Area 3; Historic Wawona Hotel and the river make this an additional option for your selection of accommodations.

Motel in El Portal

This is a very scenic route into Yosemite, especially along the river bottom just before you get to El Portal. You'll follow very close to the river's shore, where it will be considerably cooler. In mid-summer that will be very refreshing. There is a small store for incidentals, but if you're wanting to do any major shopping, do it in Mariposa or Merced.

Wawona	Located in the southern part of the park, it features the Wawona Hotel and the Redwoods Cabins. Close by are several trails for true backcountry hiking; Chilnualna Falls is about a 3-mile hike over moderate to difficult terrain and fishing along the river is excellent. This falls is an excellent site for a quick overnight camping trip with children. It's close, yet it's in the backcountry and not heavily traveled. The downside to the Wawona Area is that it is a very long way to the valley (one hour) and a very, very long way to Tuolumne Meadows (two hours). For the same money you can stay at Yosemite's Four Season's Vacation Rentals and be much closer to everything.

Fish Camp	is the last little hamlet before the park boundaries on highway 41. It has the Tenaya Hotel, some Bed and Breakfasts, a quaint motel (good!) and one small general store. The Chevron gas station closed last year and has not reopened.
