Yosemite: Ahwahnee Hotel deals this fall and winter starting at $210 per night

The Ahwahnee Hotel, a treasure within the Yosemite Valley, and recently in the news for both a short closure due to a rockfall into its parking lot and an upcoming top-to-bottom renovation that is expected to take years, has a website that shows specific dates when lower rates are available through the end of the year. If you are considering a trip up to Yosemite National Park this fall or winter, have a look at the calendar. Many guests rave about the unbeatable location and views, but online reviews show many also feel that the rooms are outdated and overpriced at $450 per night and above. During the slower fall and winter season, discounted rates start as low as $209 per night in December.

Cheaper nights: The cheapest nights listed on the calendar were Dec. 6 and Dec. 8-10 midweek for $209 per night when I tested the deal with the reservation calendar. I did find standard rooms within the historic hotel and “cottage standard rooms” located outside the hotel starting at $210 just for the room. There were classic rooms starting at $250 and bed-and-breakfast packages in classic rooms or cottage rooms starting at $305 per night.

The next round of cheaper nights starts at $299 per night and offers several dates, including Oct. 25-28, Nov. 1-5, Nov. 8-12 and Nov. 15-19. The hotel requests that you check its online calendar for availability.

Tip: See the Activities section of the  Yosemite Park website for information on evening programs like fireside storytelling, full moon snowshoe walks, twilight strolls, live theater and more.
