Both myself and my wife stayed 3 nights at the El tovar end of july, The hotel is superbly presented, the rooms are clean, food excellent , and the staff ever so friendly and efficient. Located directly on the rim of the canyon allows guests to maximise their time experiencing the spectacular views the canyon offers from dawn till dusk......... more

It was a great experience staying at El Tovar right at the South rim for our first trip to Grand Canyon. El Tovar is centrally located right at the rim and it is a great experience for first time to GC. We stayed for 2 nights. Nothing beats staying at the rim!! There is a lot to see and I... more

This is a fairly smart, luxury lodge overlooking the Grand Canyon. We had a fanastic room overlooking the Canyon. The cost was not but what I expected. The room was large & had all the usual factiities. The restaurants were all quiet pricey so we went to Angel Lodge (within walking distance) for breakfast & dinner. Note: Park up early... more

When we arrived at the El Tovar, a porter offered to unload our car and take our bags up to our rooms. He arrived just after us, very red in the face as there is no elevator! We stayed in rooms at the top of the hotel - fairly small, but nicely furnished. the main problem was the air conditioning... more

We stayed at El Tovar, as part of a multileg trip through Arizona, that also included Sedona and Scottdale. We lucked out, and were able to get the El Tovar Suite on the third floor, which is one of the five rooms that actually face the rim. The suite had a smallish bedroom with a very comfortable king sized bed,... more

Our first night there were 5 elk grazing on the front lawn of the hotel and long horned sheep the last day. Our room had plenty of... more

We visited the El Tovar at the Grand Canyon for two nights in May 2008. Firstly this hotel was built in 1903 and it has changed little since then, so don’t expect the Hilton. Having said that it has been preserved very nicely and is lovely to look at inside and out. Our room was pleasantly furnished and bigger than... more

We spent 4 nights at El Tovar, and we enjoyed every minute of it. The main plus here is the location, but we found our room (bellboy's suite) to be spacious and comfortable. It was a little pricey, but prices are not going be any cheaper in the future. Nearby parking can be a problem, but there is plenty of... more
