(DNC) Present Use: Hotel Significance: Situated in a spacious meadow at the foot of the Royal Arches formation at the eastern end of Yosemite Valley is the Ahwahnee Hotel Complex. While the main hotel building is one of the most recognized and iconic grand lodges in the National Park system, the eight cottages that sit in the pine and oak groves immediately southeast of the monumental hotel building are less well­ known. These cottages, designed by architect Eldridge "Ted" Spencer in 1928, contain twenty-four guest rooms and comprise an integral part of the Ahwahnee Hotel's historical and architectural significance. The inclusion of cottages (commonly referred to at the time as "bungalows") in the Ahwahnee Hotel Complex was an essential component of the plan for the hotel to function as a resort hotel for wealthy visitors to Yosemite National Park.
