[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I imagine all the in-park hotels are already booked, which honestly is the only way to visit the Grand Canyon.[/quote]
OP here and I actually saw some openings at El Tovar which prompted the question. I was surprised the hotel had openings. [/quote]

So park hotels are booked through Xanterra. It's a weird, archaic system. It will LOOK like El Tovar has availability, but it may not. (Ask me how I know!) You basically use their online system to select your order of preference and then a person emails you back with what they actually have. We ended up at the Thunderbird with a partial canyon view even though when I booked online I thought we were getting El Tovar. Bottom line is none of the hotels are luxe/upscale/etc, but you are going for the experience and the access. [/quote]

DP here. This was not true for us. Used the Xanterra website but booked like a regular hotel. Saw the hotels/room types available with prices, chose one and booked online like any other hotel brand. No issues at all. [/quote]
