When talking about the most famous national parks in the United States, Yosemite is among those that immediately come to mind. Yosemite Valley is considered the heart of the national park and the place where most visitors go. Besides camping, you can also go hiking, birdwatching, or fishing. Hunting is prohibited, however, just like in all national parks.
Although “roughing it” is considered a tradition when visiting majestic nature sites, sometimes travelers would rather stay in a place that offers easy access to basic comforts and luxuries. To help you with that, check out our list of the top luxury hotels near Yosemite National Park, USA, below.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to luxury services and amenities.
