El Tovar Hotel

The historic El Tovar Hotel has seen a lot of famous visitors like Albert Einstein and Theodore Roosevelt since its opening in 1905. Today it is still a great location to reside at the mighty Grand Canyon. If you are not staying, at least take a look into the dramatic front lobby or take a drink at the bar.

The design of the hotel was inspired by chalets in Switzerland and for a very long time, El Tovar was the most technologically advanced hotel at the South Rim.

Located on the rim of the Grand Canyon, this historic 1905 limestone and pine hotel is 14 minutes' walk from Grand Canyon Village and 8 minutes' walk from the Grand Canyon Railway.
Exquisite dishes from the American Southwest cuisine are prepared in the chic restaurant with rustic furnishings and a seasonal terrace. The lounge is decorated with artworks.

Nice hotel and you can have lunch there while you are walking the Rim Trail.
