The El Tovar Hotel is nestled on the edge Rim of the Grand Canyon is the South,
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona.

The El Tovar Hotel is an architectural marvel that is suspended between the rocks until it appears on themselves. Opened in 1905, this great building at different levels following the natural contours of the steps eg Edge 'canyon.

Built of local stone, brick and large Douglas fir with a distinctive rooftogether at various levels. A tower stands proud of the wood floor, it catches the eye immediately after arrival. El Tovar, the visible emblem, if you send more than this is no ordinary history of National Park Lodge.

Once built and developed appointed house called America. The exterior of the first floor, log-slab siding that looks like a huge cabin, while the number of balconies, terraces, patios and more are covered to give a directionA Rustic Mountain Lodge.

The El Tovar Hotel still retains much of its character and rustic charm. It was established attracted many visitors over the years to see and explore the vast panoramic view of one of the greatest natural wonders of the world.
