If you're looking for a luxurious hotel to rest your head after a long day in Yosemite National Park, Tenaya Lodge may be the place for you. Offering the best in Yosemite lodging, this classic, yet modern mountain lodge has every amenity that a discerning traveler could ever want. It also offers an array of outdoor activities that will make any Yosemite National Park vacation complete.

Tenaya Lodge is nestled among thick, seemingly endless evergreen forests and rests atop of a mountainous setting at an elevation of more than 5,000 feet. Although Tenaya Lodge is set upon a secluded 35 acres, the Yosemite resort is less than two miles from Yosemite National Park's southernmost gate and borders the Sierra National Forest.

While guests of Tenaya Lodge will undoubtedly feel surrounded by nature, they can also enjoy being pampered by modern amenities. The décor of Tenaya Lodge stays true to the region's Native American heritage by featuring rich earth tone colors, an abundance of leather furniture, and fabrics that reflect the native traditions of the area. Be sure to ask your Yosemite reservations agent about the different types of accommodations available. Unlike typical Yosemite hotels, Tenaya Lodge features six different types of rooms, ranging from a deluxe room to a luxury suite, all of which are newly remodeled. Every room features modern conveniences such as high speed wireless internet access and individual climate control, as well as creature comforts such as soft, high-quality bedding and all-natural, environmentally-friendly bath products. Some of the rooms at Tenaya Lodge can accommodate very large families by offering an apartment-style layout complete with cushy sofas, oversized leather chairs, and enough beds for the entire family.

After enjoying a long day at Yosemite National park, guests of Tenaya Lodge will be happy they chose this Yosemite lodging option because of its relaxing facilities. Tenaya Lodge is one of the few Yosemite hotels that include both an indoor and outdoor pool and a fully equipped fitness center with all the equipment you'll ever need to prepare for a long day's hike in the park. Guests can relax and unwind after a day in the mountains by receiving a number of massage therapy treatments, facials, and nail treatments. You can book these services right at the front desk of the hotel or through your Yosemite reservations agent.

The best part about Yosemite lodging is the fact that you can explore your adventurous side by participating in some of the region's finest outdoor activities such as mountain biking, guided hiking tours, and lessons on how to navigate using a GPS device. If you are staying at Tenaya Lodge, be sure to check with your Yosemite reservations agents about the events going on at the lodge during your stay, as the activities change weekly.
