El Tovar Hotel at Grand Canyon Village - South Rim of the Grand Canyon

We are back at the Grand Canyon having ridden the train to the rim and are spending the night in the Manager's Suite and breakfast in the Harvey House Restaurant overlooking the Grand Canyon.

After the Southwest Reaganal Convention of the NMRA in Flagstaff, we returned to the Grand Canyon to take in a bit more of the scenery and rich history of the El Tovar Hotel.

When the El Tovar Hotel opened at the end of the Santa Fe railroad line in the early 1900s it was considered one of the most elegant hotels west of the Mississippi. Today El Tovar Hotel is still welcoming guests to Grand Canyon National Park with as much care and hospitality as they did 100 years ago.

El Tovar's 78 rooms and suites all with cable television, telephone, full bath, in-room coffee, and air conditioning. There are three styles of accommodation at the El Tovar Lodge: standard; deluxe & suites. SOMEHOW we ended up in the manager's suite! Long story. But it was amazing!
