As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

I think we’ve repeated multiple times that you don’t need to look far to find beautiful views in Arizona. You can drive down the highway, hike a picturesque trail, or even grab a seat on the patio at a local restaurant and manage to find some very pretty views. Another great way: book a room at a hotel! You can find some that show off lovely views but none quite matches the majesty of this one at our state’s treasure.

El Tovar Hotel is one of the Grand Canyon’s premier hotels that offers beautiful views with comfortable rooms.

The hotel was built in the early 1900s and its doors opened in 1905. According to the hotel’s website, the building’s design was inspired by Swiss and Norwegian architecture to give it the feel of a refined European getaway without traveling far. Even today, you’ll still find an elegance to the hotel…
