Hotel Charlotte

Top choice in Yosemite & the Sierra Nevada


Casually sophisticated and designed with a mix of contemporary touches and vintage chintz, the Charlotte is the nicest spot in central Groveland. Some of the rooms have beautifully restored, claw-foot bathtubs, and the owners, a husband-and-wife team, work diligently to help guests enjoy their Yosemite stay.

A sophisticated restaurant opened in 2019, with a new menu and chef.

For families, the Grand Suites sleep three to five people.
