Yosemite: The Majestic Yosemite Hotel (Ahwahnee)

We stayed at The Majestic Yosemite Hotel the two nights we were in the valley. It was built in 1927 and retains many of the original rugs, tapestries, and paintings. It was made of granite and stained concrete poured into molds to look like wood.

There are nearby views of Half Dome, Glacier Point, and other valley features. The name was changed from Ahwahnee Hotel this spring because of a trademark dispute with the outgoing management company.
