sanctuary, and place of unparalleled beauty. Part of what makes the
Ahwahnee Hotel
Yosemite so fabulous is that the architecture seeks to
blend into and not detract from its majestic surroundings. The
Ahwahnee Hotel
Yosemite is a must see, even if you chose not to lodge
there when visiting the park.The Ahwahnee Hotel was completed in 1927 to provide accommodations in Yosemite National Park fitting for visiting dignitaries who did not want to "rough it". The Ahwahnee Hotel was not the first hotel constructed in Yosemite with this in mind, but it was the first designed to last. It is almost completely constructed of stone, concrete, and steel so that it would not meet the same doom as previous hotels in Yosemite - fire. The exterior facade of the Ahwahnee Hotel is constructed of poured concrete shaped and stained to resemble redwood. The only large wood construction in the hotel is the dining room which comfortably sits over three hundred.
