Yavapai Lodge West  

Perched in a stunning Grand Canyon setting, this lodge puts you steps from lookout points and nearby shops. You're minutes by car from the Grand Canyon Visitor Center and the Grand Canyon Railway, with Bright Angel Lodge about 1.7 mi (2.7 km) away. Pet-friendly rooms are available.

Rooms pair simple, rustic décor with modern touches — vaulted ceilings with ceiling fans, refrigerators and flat-screen TVs. Private bathrooms have shower/tub combos, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. Expect comfy beds, coffee/tea makers, phones and daily housekeeping; some units allow pets and free on-site parking is offered.

On-site perks include free parking and a friendly front desk to greet you. Walk to canyon viewpoints, then return to relax with canyon breezes and cozy common areas. Some rooms are pet-friendly.

Eat at the Canyon Cafe, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, or grab a bite at Yavapai Tavern and the property's other restaurants and coffee shop. A bar/lounge serves evening drinks, and to-go breakfasts are available daily from 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM for a fee.
