Wawona Hotel

Immersed in nature, Wawona Hotel is the perfect place to settle in during your Yosemite National Park visit. 

One of California's original mountain resort hotels, the Victorian-era Wawona Hotel was originally established in 1856. Accommodations consist of 50 standard hotel rooms with private bath and 54 standard hotel rooms with shared restrooms. The hotel dining room serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. In the evening, wind down your fun filled day by gathering around the piano for musical performances in the lounge. Seasonal amenities include a nine-hole golf course, a swimming pool, and a riding stable.

Galen Clark, a former gold prospector, built the first structure on this site. He built the simple log cabin along the original trail. Positioned to ensure a constant flow of foot traffic, it was built along the original trail into Yosemite Valley. Visitors would stop along the way to restock their provisions and rest before continuing their travels. From these humble beginnings, the Wawona Hotel came to be-attracting many famous travelers of the day, including President Theodore Roosevelt.
