Contemporary Hotels at the Grand Canyon

If you're not a history buff, you can still stay in style on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Two modern hotels are located on the rim walk between the historic El Tovar and Bright Angel Lodges. The Thunderbird and Kachina Lodges offer many rooms with canyon views, in-room safes and refrigerators, and much more. Neither of these lodges offers dining rooms, so guests will have to visit other lodge dining rooms for their meals. However, the rooms are more contemporary than the historic lodge rooms, and some offer more amenities, too. People with disabilities may find these rooms a bit easier to navigate, and there are special rooms designed for disabled guests available in Thunderbird Lodge.
