Hotels Near Grand Canyon Village (south rim) in Grand Canyon National Park

Hotels near the Grand Canyon National Park's South Rim are abundant, thanks in no small part to the millions of visitors who stream into the park every year. The South Rim is the main park gateway for most visitors, and it can be a hectic place, especially during the high summer season. For a more relaxed and enjoyable experience, make sure to reserve your room months in advance, especially if you are planning to stay at one of the Grand Canyon lodges inside the park. Of these, the Bright Angel Lodge, our number one pick, remains the quintessential Grand Canyon lodge. Built in 1935 and designed by Mary Jane Colter, the lodge can seem rather large and imposing at first glimpse, but the detached, right-on-the-rim cabins, featuring spectacular views of the park, make the initial confusion worth it.

If you find yourself without reservations for one of the Grand Canyon lodges inside the park, The Grand Hotel, located just outside the park in the commercial village of Tusayan, emulates the imposing stateliness of the traditional park lodges. The Best Western Grand Canyon Squire Inn, our number eight pick, offers reliably comfortable rooms on a large resort-style property that includes an outdoor pool, indoor spa, and even a four-lane bowling alley.
