The Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite Valley is known as the “crown jewel” of U.S. National Park Lodges. The views of Half Dome, El Capitan and the Yosemite Valley are the same as those enjoyed by Queen Elizabeth II, US Presidents and generations of movie stars have stayed at the Ahwahnee. The luxurious lodge has architectural and historic significance as well as fine dining, California cuisine-style. If the thought of ending a day of hiking in Yosemite with dinner on fine china and linen, then change into proper attire and hit the Ahwahnee Dining Room.
