The Lodge complex has a total of 245 rooms, located in a total of 15 separate buildings, including the main Lodge. Each offers from six to thirty-one rooms. The Cedar Building is the only one to contain larger "family rooms". The buildings are named after species of flowers or trees.[1]
The Lodge is the less expensive of the two options in the Yosemite Valley that offer hotel rooms. The other is Ahwahnee Hotel. Both of these are operated by concessionaires under contract to the National Park Service, which administers the Park. Since March 2016, the Lodge has been operated by Aramark.
The offerings of the Lodge complex were reduced by more than half following damage from the 100-year flood of January 1997, when the Merced River damaged or destroyed numerous cabins and more than 100 hotel rooms in other buildings.
The Lodge complex was built during the 1930s and the Great Depression, as a Works Progress Administration project under the President Franklin D. Roosevelt administration. Originally operated by staff of the National Park Service, which has primary responsibility for administering the Park, the Lodge services were later contracted out to private concessionaires.
In January 1997, during a 100-year flood of the nearby Merced River, some 189 cabins and 108 hotel rooms of the Lodge were destroyed or badly damaged as a result. The Lodge complex lost 54% of its total capacity of 546 rooms by this.[2][3]
Delaware North was replaced as concessionaire by Aramark on March 1, 2016. During a copyright dispute between Delaware North and the National Park Service later that year, NPS renamed Yosemite Lodge at the Falls as Yosemite Valley Lodge, along with several related properties.[4][5]
After settlement of the dispute in 2019, NPS restored the historical names of the Lodge and other attractions in the Park.[6]
