The location of the El Tovar to the Grand Canyon could not be closer. A few steps outside the hotel and you are looking straight down to the canyon floor. The sunrise on the canyon and the starlit sky at night are brilliant. These are must see events.

Yes it was spotless!! And both the dinner and breakfast at the restaurant were incredible! Homemade red raspberry vinaigrette on the salad for dinner and a huge cinnamon roll for breakfast with views that aren’t obtainable unless your inside the park:) Absolutely breathtaking.
