The natural wonder that is the Grand Canyon is enhanced further by a stay at El Tovar. First class dining, great service by an engaging staff, and remarkable stories everywhere you turn. Simply amazing!

Lodge is in a great location with quiet relaxing porches. The cost of the room and dinner does not reflect the quality and value experienced. The room was clean and comfortable but the AC woke us up a few times during the night and the step up to the bathroom is a trip hazard. Breakfast service and food was great but the evening service was average. No Elk entree and no Tanqueray and to top it off the Elk Bolognese tastes like Chef Boyardee.

The hotel is lovely and cosy and the view of the Grand Canyon is breathtaking. Our room was small and sadly we didn’t get great view. You do pay for the canyon view and I guess that makes it worth its while. The breakfast at El Tovar is fabulous but the dinner for the price is definitely not worth the hype or price.
What a SHAME

Great location but a terrible place to stay. The room smelled damp. The entry door was gouged and scraped, no closet door. The bathroom light was rusted and the wall had a patch that was not finished or painted. The rooms are expensive and the quality is sub-par. They a just sucking money out of the building and charging a lot of money for terrible quality. Also had dinner in the beautiful historic dining room and the food was almost uneatable and the service was nonexistent. The waitress didn't even get the 4 order correct. It’s a real shame because it is a one of a kind location and a historic hotel but one of the worst places to stay.
