When the El Tovar Lodge opened at the end of the railroad line in the early 1900s it was considered one of the most elegant hotels west of the Mississippi. Today El Tovar Lodge is welcoming guests to Grand Canyon National Park with as much care and hospitality as they did 100 years ago. El Tovar provides 78 rooms and suites all with cable television, telephone, full bath and air conditioning. There are three styles of accommodation at the El Tovar Lodge: standard, deluxe, and suite.
