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.

Outstanding location in the middle of the park. Great access to Sequoia and Kings Canyon. Lodge was fine. Rooms are in a separate building but close. Restaurant, patio and lobby are great for where you are. If you’re visiting the park then staying here is markedly preferable to anyplace else in the park or outside. E.g. it took an hour to drive… Read more

We had a great 3 day stay at the Wuksachi Lodge. The location is in the park, and this alone is worth the price. Most of the area accommodations are outside the park at the bottom of the weavyiest road I've been on. Extra Dramamine required. We booked the premium suite for the extra area.

We had a great 3 day stay at the Wuksachi Lodge. The location is in the park, and this alone is worth the price. Most of the area accommodations are outside the park at the bottom of the weavyiest road I've been on. Extra Dramamine required. We booked the premium suite for the extra area. Glad we did as this it was unusually warm in October, and only that room category has A/C. Noisy as it was, it was welcomed at night. You cannot open the windows, so being on the second floor the heat rises. There is a separate den with a sliding door, so one person can sleep while the early bird makes coffee. We were surprised that there was cable tv with a number of stations. Just enough wi-fi band to get by. I wouldn't stream 'Gone with the wind' off it though. The room had a huge extra comfortable king bed and two sofa sleepers, so it would easily accommodate four. The room was very nice, for 'national park luxury'. Not the Ahwahnee, but a step up from the Yosemite Lodge. Nice view of the forest. Plenty of deer, chipmunks and birds about. Someone saw a bear family down the road a bit. You have to be careful not to leave anything tempting locked in the car. As everyone notes, it is a small uphill slog from the parking lot, and stairs if you are on the second floor. There are plenty of luggage carts and even a valet who offered to help. It's a 5 minute walk to the lodge where there is a restaurant, small bar and food takeout window if you prefer to eat on the outside patio: Very nice. We brought all our food so we wouldn't have to worry about it. The room had a microwave and the usual hotel size refrigerator. Read less

Nice location in Sequioa National Park.  Accommodations average but expected in a National Park. For the price you pay, you need to update with AC.  It was very hot and at least we had a ceiling fan. The biggest complaint is no elevator, and you cannot drive up to the lodge to unload your luggage. There are luggage carts, but you have to go up a… Read more
Nice location in Sequioa National Park.  Accommodations average but expected in a National Park. For the price you pay, you need to update with AC.  It was very hot and at least we had a ceiling fan. The biggest complaint is no elevator, and you cannot drive up to the lodge to unload your luggage. There are luggage carts, but you have to go up a twisty dirt path and then climb stairs if you are not on the first floor.  We were exhausted and hot after carting our luggage. Read less

Coffee maker, fridge, microwave in room. Short walk from car park to buildings with rooms in. It was almost dark when I arrived and it took me a while to locate the path from the car park – it is by the accessible spaces (which made sense once I found it). There are luggage carts to save multiple trips. No lift in building I was in and rooms on… Read more

There are luggage carts to save multiple trips. No lift in building I was in and rooms on 3 levels. Restaurant in building where you check in. Short walk or drive. Excellent location within the park.
