  • El Tovar Hotel - Grand Canyon National Park. Located literally on the rim of the Grand Canyon, Arizona's El Tovar Hotel first opened its doors in 1905. The hotel was designed by Charles Whittlesey, Chief Architect for the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway, who envisioned it as a cross between a Swiss chalet and a Norwegian Villa. The hotel was built from local limestone and Oregon pine, and upon opening in 1905, many considered the El Tovar the grandest hotel in the American West. Nearly 125 years later, El Tovar is as enchanting as ever, offering guests unparalleled views of the Grand Canyon -- without stepping foot outdoors.

Located on top of a mountain, this treehouse has views of Mogollon Rim and is in close proximity to outdoor recreation, Tonto Natural Bridge, Tonto National Forest, restaurants, shops, and more.
