Only park buses and hotel transfers are permitted inside the national park. The hotel coordinates a private shuttle to meet guests at the park gates and transport luggage.
Sunrise Trail Trek
The park gates open to the public at 9:00 AM. Walk the falls trail directly in front of the hotel at 7:00 AM to see the mist rise over the Devil's Throat without a single tour group around.
Daytime Park Crowds & Room Sizes
Tour buses and thousands of tourists pass directly in front of the hotel gardens during day hours. The historic building structure means standard rooms are slightly smaller and more traditional than modern luxury resorts.
