Celebrating its centennial in 2005, El Tovar hotel — one of the great lodges in the National Park System — emerges from an extensive renovation that adds a fresh sheen to its rustic elegance and luxury.

Its location couldn't be more scenic: El Tovar hotel is located a mere 30 yards from the edge of the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Designed by architect Charles Whittlesey, El Tovar was created to complement without competing with the geologic wonder of the Grand Canyon.

When it opened, El Tovar was considered the most luxurious hotel between the Rocky Mountains and San Francisco.
