Virtual Tour of The Ahwahnee Hotel - The Swimming Pool

Before we go inside let's walk around the outside of the hotel. Heading around to the left from the porte-cochere (east) side of the hotel we find a round, heated swimming pool, which was installed in 1963. From the pool a sweeping stairway leads up to the guest floors, so that guests in swim wear do not need to walk through the lobby to reach the pool. Adjacent to the pool a creek borders the hotel grounds; a small pedestrian bridge crosses the creek to the Ahwahnee Cottages located on the other side.
