Staying at the Wawona Hotel felt like stepping back in time. The historic charm stood out right away — the white Victorian-style building, wraparound porches, and quiet setting made it different from the busier parts of Yosemite. It had a peaceful, old-fashioned atmosphere that made the trip feel more relaxing. Even though it wasn’t my first time in Yosemite, staying here gave me a new experience of the park. The location was convenient for exploring, and it felt special to share the stay with Dad and Mom. After visiting Yosemite Falls, coming back to the calm surroundings of the hotel was the perfect way to end the day.

Closed for remodel but if you go to Yosemite it’s a nice place to go and walk the grounds to see this historical beauty. There is a 9 hole golf course and a 4 mile trail loop surrounded by giant sequoias. You can also visit their general store which also has a great gift shop

The natural surroundings are stunning, and the hotel building is a beautiful historic landmark. The rooms and bathrooms are literally from the 1900s, but everything works perfectly. Just keep in mind the restaurant closes very early and there are no nearby options—they could really extend the hours. Wi-Fi is only available in the lobby, and parking fills up quickly in the well-lit areas, so it’s best to arrive early. The staff was friendly, but none of them spoke Spanish

This lovely Victorian hotel maintains all the character of a late 19th century timber construction, it is in a lovely location, surrounded by the woodlands in Yosemite national park. The Rooms are comfortable and well appointed however some have a shared bathroom. The lounge and bar area is open and homely and the piano player plays and sings to a wide variety of music. Very entertaining.

We loved our time here at Wawona. It's full of old character/architecture. We booked a room with a private bath and stayed here 2 nights. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served daily along with an open bar. Wifi is limited but can make calls and send text on wifi calling. Make sure to walk around the ground they are beautiful. You do have to pay the National Park Entry prior to arriving at the hotel as well.
