Visiting one of America’s most breathtaking national parks? I’ve been lucky enough to explore Yosemite more than once, and each visit leaves me in awe. But after a day of hiking, waterfall-chasing, or just soaking in those granite views, I’ve found that having a cozy, welcoming place to stay makes all the difference. These hotels near Yosemite National Park offer just that—easy access to the park, plus the comfort and charm you’ll be craving when the day winds down.

Highlights:

  • Rustic lodges just minutes from Yosemite’s entrance gates
  • Charming inns in Groveland, Oakhurst, and Mariposa with local flair
  • Luxury resorts with mountain views, hot tubs, and spa services
  • Family-friendly hotels with kitchenettes, outdoor firepits, and game rooms
