The El Tovar is a National Historic Landmark that first opened its doors in 1905 and retains its elegant surroundings that take you back in time. It is considered to be one of the most elegant lodges in the National Park system. Due to the historic nature of the hotel no two guest rooms are alike, which gives the hotel a distinctive charm. The El Tovar is ideally located on the Canyon’s rim and in the historic Grand Canyon Village, where the cosy atmosphere makes this property extremely popular.
