EL TOVAR ^{* * *}

This magnificent hotel was designed by Charles Whittlesey, one of the architects of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway. The building belonged to the Fred Harvey Company's chain of hotels and restaurants, so often mentioned on Route 66. A hushed atmosphere adds an extra touch to this magnificent establishment built in 1905, whose windows plunge directly into the canyon. Panoramic dining room. This is the most luxurious establishment in the park. Its lobby alone is worth a visit.
