The hotel

Set amongst the shaded dappled groves of Sequoia National Park, Wuksachi provides an elegant approach to accommodation with a full-range of modern fixtures and fittings to compliment the sublime surrounding scenery. Throughout the lodge you'll discover rich strains of cedar and stone which have been placed to make the most of the enchanted environment, with floor to ceiling windows and snug fireplaces maximising an array of enduring natural images. A full-service restaurant allows guests to prepare for the day ahead, or recount events during the evening, over a plate of sumptuous Sierra Alpine cuisine; and just before you hit the hay there's a handy cocktail lounge for just one last cheeky nightcap. What with all that fine food and fresh forest air, getting a good night's rest is never in doubt and thanks to a good choice of hotel standard en-suite guest rooms, there's no better place to recuperate in order to do it all again at sun rise.

This is the best National Park Lodge (not best hotel) I have visited. We stayed for 2 nights in July. We had a Superior room with 2 Queen Beds. Compared to other National Park Lodges, this one has: TV in the room, free WiFi in the room, air conditioning, ice in the building, and a fridge/microwave in the room and a Keurig. Wow!!

This is the best National Park Lodge (not best hotel) I have visited. We stayed for 2 nights in July. We had a Superior room with 2 Queen Beds. Compared to other National Park Lodges, this one has: TV in the room, free WiFi in the room, air conditioning, ice in the building, and a fridge/microwave in the room and a Keurig. Wow!! Check in was easy! No check out needed - just leave the card in the room and head on out. We had breakfast and dinner at the Peaks, and Pizza dinner. Overall, the food was really good. Yes - NP food is expensive, but that goes with the territory. When I ate that, they had not run out of any items. Dinner is until 10 PM! There is a walk from the parking to the room, and if you arrive at night, he will need a headlamp, or a flashlight. There are 2 floors to the property and no stairs. Locations is fabulous. I think that there is so much more to do in Sequoia than Kings Canyon, so I would definitely recommend here over John Muir Lodge. So many hikes in the Giant Forest, Moro Rock, Topokah Falls - lots to keep busy, and all within 20 min drive. The property is not cheap, but If you want the comfort and the location, it’s worth it.

The good: the location of Wuksachi Lodge is fantastic. There is a shuttle from the hotel which takes you to other areas. The bedroom was clean and comfortable. The not-so-good: please be aware you need to carry your luggage or push it on trolleys (provided) quite a long way on an incline. This wasn’t an issue for us but we helped several people… Read more
The good: the location of Wuksachi Lodge is fantastic. There is a shuttle from the hotel which takes you to other areas. The bedroom was clean and comfortable. The not-so-good: please be aware you need to carry your luggage or push it on trolleys (provided) quite a long way on an incline. This wasn’t an issue for us but we helped several people who were struggling. Some had asked for assistance when checking in and had been told it wasn’t possible to have help. The staff are mostly very nice but the customer service was bizarre. We are from the U.K. and have always found the service in the US excellent. Not here! It’s difficult to explain but while the staff appear to help they aren’t!Waiting for service in the restaurant was ridiculous. The pizza deck was dirty, tables weren’t cleared, and on two evenings there was no pizza. The hotel and restaurant are overpriced but you are paying for the location. Read less

I stayed in a Superior Room in the "Sequoia Building" it was very nice, clean and spacious. The room I had did have AC and was one of my favorite National Park Lodge rooms I've stayed in.

I stayed in a Superior Room in the "Sequoia Building" it was very nice, clean and spacious. The room I had did have AC and was one of my favorite National Park Lodge rooms I've stayed in. However, I wish I would have known more about the walkway ahead of time and I would have condensed my luggage....The rooms are separate from the main lodge and the walkway from the parking lot is very long, narrow and STEEP. Remember you are in bear country and you want to remove all food/scent items from your car.... It was a workout for me to push the cart of luggage up the ramp to the rooms. They provide luggage carts, but this would not be an easy trek for most. I'm not sure if they offer help, but they didn't offer or inform me of what I was about to get into when I checked in. The lodge has a nice gift shop and the surrounding grounds had plenty of pathways and areas to sit and enjoy the view. I would stay here again. Read less

Lovely lodge and friendly service. My family and I recently visited the Wuksachi Lodge during our tour of Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks.
