Amazing Stay
The El Tovar is absolutely stunning and right on the rim of the Grand Canyon. The views are beautiful. We ate in the dining room and it was amazing. Steaks were cooked to perfection and the Crème Brûlée for dessert was delicious. We had a few drinks in the bar and sat by the window. It was a wonderful trip and we will be back.

Beautiful Hotel ! Very nostalgic feel upon arrival. Super friendly and welcoming staff.
Nancy, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Stay somewhere else
Bad experience. It was impossible to book breakfast or dinner at the restaurant. Hotel guests do not have priority to eat at the restaurant. In other words, you have to book your meals before you check in. There was no room service.

Wonderful and classic Grand Canyon experience.
I hadn’t been to the Grand Canyon since I was very young. I thought I knew what to expect but my expectations were exceeded upon our arrival. The El Tovar Hotel was a very nice part of the whole experience. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean and well appointed while keeping its 100+ year old vibe. The Canyon was only feet away - what views. Thie whole experience of the El Tovar and Grand Canyon was wonderful.

Absolutely loved the character of this hotel that sits right on the canyon edge. Fire in the lobby, porch out back, great rooms. It was perfect.
Stephanie, 1-night trip

We absolutely loved staying there, and the fact that it is literally 40 steps from the hotel to the Grand Canyon rim makes it all the better.
