Grand Canyon Hotels

One of the eight wonders of the world, the majestic canyon, an ever-changing display of colors, stretches nearly 280 miles from end to end, is ten miles wide on the average and descends 6,000 feet at its deepest point.

The Grand Canyon is multihued, steep-sided chasm, engraved by the Colorado River, in the State of Arizona. Grand Canyon National Park is one of the world's leading natural attractions, drawing about five million visitors per year. You won't leave without experiencing the astonishment that this overwhelming Canyon evokes in the millions of visitors who come to see it each year.

There are some historical buildings located next to the South Rim; mostly in Grand Canyon Village.

In 1908 American President Theodore Roosevelt declared the Canyon a National Monument calling it, "the one great site which every American should see". You will be amazed at the scenic view of East or West Rim Drive descending into the "Inner Canyon". You can go by foot or by riding on a mule or by taking a raft down the Colorado River.

Grand Canyon National Park offers hotels, inns, lodgings, and other accommodation for millions of visitors who come here every year. Here are some of the best hotels with their full facilities and amenities to offer you when you want to go to the Grand Canyon National Park.

Grand Canyon Railway Hotel

The Grand Canyon Railway Hotel Inn is modeled after the historic Williams depot and is located just one block from the famous route 66. Guests can visit some places, and by the time they return to the hotel, they can relax in the outdoor pool and spa tub. The hotel's front desk is open 24hours daily, with health club and fitness equipments, fireplace, tour assistance and concierge, grocery store and gift shop, conference rooms, café, game room arcade, and picnic areas with barbecue grills. This hotel was calculated to appear a lot like the train depot's earliest Fray Marcos lodge. The guestrooms have a neoclassic French decor, with southwestern accents and have separate sitting areas, kitchenettes, coffeemakers, satellite TV, and complimentary toiletries.

Grand Canyons Hotels Rim South

If you need a reasonably priced place to stay, think about stopping at the Canyon Grand Hotel Rim South. In winter months, rooms should be booked at least 6 months in advance. Rooms and cabins mostly feature rustic furnishings. The Buckey Suite is definitely the finest room available, the oldest structure in the Canyon Rim, with a gas fireplace, king-size bed, and Canyon view. The tour desk, museum, fireplace, and restrooms account greatly for the constant coming of crowds.

Canyon Grand Hotel El Tovar

The historic El Tovar Hotel opened in 1905, with a design that was fashioned after European hunting lodges. Like any old hotel, El Tovar has its own story to tell, some were peculiar and the others out of place in today's world. The hotel originally had separate sitting rooms for men and women. There's a men's grotto, a rooftop garden, a darkroom with photography studio, wine room and billiards parlor. While the dining room has been famous for the high quality of its meals, it was difficult in early times to obtain a fresh ingredient. That is the reason the hotel reared its very own Jersey cows, poultry barn, a milking barn, bakery, cold storage, and butcher shop. In the 1930's, a pipe was placed from the South Rim to Indian Gardens and the water was brought in the train.

Grand Canyon Hotels North rim

The 3 beautiful North Rim viewpoints offer a sense of looking across the expanse of the Canyon, rather than into its depths. These descriptions may help you to plan your visit. From the parking area it's a short and easy walk to Grand Canyon Lodge and a classic view of the Canyon. For the fearless, the DeMotte Campground is a great place, where campers have options from 22 attractive tent sites with picnic tables, grills, toilets, and drinking water.
