Where to Stay When You Visit Yosemite

Yosemite National Park is one of the most-visited parks in the country, and with good reason. For one thing, it’s stunning in any season—late spring brings roaring waterfalls, summer is perfect for hiking to granite domes and alpine lakes, and wintertime means ice skating and snow on the valley floor. Though the park is perhaps best known for its towering cliffs of granite and glacially polished rock domes, this 747,956-acre expanse is also home to misty alpine meadows, giant sequoia groves, and trout-filled rivers.

Whether you’re hoping to cruise along the Yosemite Valley bike path on your one-speed or day hike to some of the park’s most impressive viewpoints, we’ve compiled a list of our favorite accommodations in the area, with a little something for everyone. From hot tubs under the Milky Way to fairytale castles to secluded cabins with mountain views, there’s something for travelers of all ages and interests. (If you prefer to sleep right under the stars, check out our guide to Yosemite camping.)
