Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite
A majestic Sierra resort located at Yosemite National Park's South Gate.
Tenaya Lodge offers Yosemite Park lodging, with all-season recreation ranging from hiking, biking, swimming, skating and skiing, to the alpine serenity of the Ascent Spa at Tenaya Lodge. Great dining options at our classic hotel range from casual to candlelit.
As you turn off Highway 41 and enter the Tenaya realm, time slows down and senses awaken. The cool curve of a granite climbing boulder. A clearer quality of sunlight. The wide-eyed glee of your kids when they realize the fun they are about to have. (Not to mention your own wide-eyed glee.)
The artful technique of an Ascent Spa massage therapist, the healing scent of local lemon verbena and sage. A trio of great swimming pools, two indoors and one outdoor.
