Overview

The Majestic Yosemite is a must-stay for any guest to Yosemite National Park that isn’t camping or just passing through for a day. It is the distinctive AAA four-diamond hotel recognized by the park. No other hotel offers the proximity and views of The Majestic does of Yosemite Falls, Glacier Point, and Half Dome. The design and architecture of the hotel was meant to highlight these natural surroundings.

Guests have four choices when staying at The Majestic Yosemite that includes standard, junior suites, hotel parlors, and hotel cottages. Each choice gets progressively larger and offers more direct and scenic views of the park’s surroundings. Guests can choose between one king or two double beds. All rooms come well-appointed with a pillow-top mattress, WiFi, flat-screen TV, and fridge.

The Majestic Yosemite Dining Room is the place to eat as it serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch. The towering 34-foot high ceiling with enormous pine trusses and granite pillars will make it hard for guests to focus on their food. Check out the decadent sweet shop for a little bite of sugary goodness, or the bar for a favorite drink with a friend.

When it comes to activities and things to do, guests will need to be reminded that they are at Yosemite National Park. The Majestic Yosemite also holds a historical heritage because it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a National Historic Landmark. Visitors will intentionally forget their tent and sleeping bag next time through so that they can have another stay at The Majestic Yosemite Hotel.
