Known for its stunning interior design and architecture that combines rustic and art deco influences, The Ahwahnee offers hotel rooms, suites, parlors, and cottages. Designed by architect Gilbert Stanley Underwood and completed in 1927, The Ahwahnee was built to draw more affluent visitors to Yosemite National Park. An experiment in construction methods, it was built with mostly fireproof materials, including concrete and granite textured and stained to resemble redwood.
