- Lodging inside the park is handled by two companies, Xanterra Parks & Resorts and Forever Resorts. Both companies are authorized by the National Park Service.
- Xanterra manages seven lodging facilities in the park, six lodges on the South Rim and one ranch below the rim of the canyon where visitors stay in cabins or dormitory-style rooms. Forever Resorts manages one lodge on the North Rim.
- Phantom Ranch is the only lodging facility below the rim of the Grand Canyon. Open year-round, the ranch is accessible by foot, mule or raft. There are 11 cabins and two separate dorm rooms for men and women.
- There are six lodges at or near the South Rim--El Tovar, Bright Angel, Kachina, Thunderbird, Maswik and Yavapai. All lodges are at the edge of the rim except for Maswik and Yavapai, which are a quarter-mile and a half-mile away respectively.
- The Grand Canyon Lodge is the only lodging option on the North Rim. It is a seasonal lodge, closed in the winter and generally open from May to October.
- Current rates for all properties are available at their websites (see Resources) or by calling (888) 29-PARKS for Xanterra locations at the South Rim and in the canyon, and (877) 386-4383 for the Forever Resorts property at the North Rim.
