Ahwahnee Hotel | Favorite Architecture
The Ahwahnee Hotel is a grand hotel in Yosemite National Park, California, on the floor of Yosemite Valley, constructed from steel, stone, concrete, wood and glass, which opened in 1927. It is a premiere example of National Park Service rusticarchitecture and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1987. The hotel was built by two companies that were merged when the National Park Service began leasing concessions to a single concessionaire in 1925. The Curry Company, owned by David and Jennie Curry and the Yosemite Park Company, the owners of the Yosemite Lodge, became the new “Yosemite Park & Curry Company” headed by Donald Tresidder. The structure originally served as both a luxury hotel and the company offices of YPC&CC. Despite financial struggles, the YPC&CC remained the concessioner for the Ahwahnee Hotel until 1993, before the National Park Service required a new concessioner to buy the YPC&CC, creating a new company, Delaware North. Delaware North’s contract ended on March 1, 2016 when The National Park Service selected Aramark as the new concessionaire,More info:wiki

The Ahwahnee Hotel and other Yosemite National Park landmarks soon will be renamed amid a legal dispute between the government and the facilities’ outgoing operator.
On March 1, the famed Ahwahnee — a name affixed to countless trail guides and family memories — will become the Majestic Yosemite Hotel. And Curry Village, a collection of cabins near the center of the park that has carried the same name since the 1800s, will become Half Dome Village, park spokesman Scott Gediman said Thursday.
“This is not something we did willingly,” said Gediman, noting that the government was fighting to reclaim the old names in hopes that they someday will be restored.

Set smack in the middle of Yosemite National Park, this grand, 1920s-era lodge has hosted its share of high-profile guests over the decades, from Lucille Ball to John F. Kennedy. But apart from the posh accommodations and award-winning restaurant, it’s the lodge’s woodsy backdrop and access to the park’s nearly 1,000 miles of hiking trails that are the real selling points here. Nature lovers can step outside and hike straight to Yosemite Falls, ski in the winter, and explore wildflower fields in spring. And those looking for pure relaxation in any season may choose to hunker down with a good book by the fire in the lodge’s great room or in one of its four cozy parlors.
