Grand Canyon South Rim hotels provide the closest accommodations to Grand Canyon National Park. There are also a few great South Rim hotels and lodging options in the Grand Canyon Village itself. These accommodations typically need to be reserved a year in advance. Visitors who want to interact with the Grand Canyon and spend time here often camp. If camping is not an option for you El Tovar, Bright Angel Lodge, Maswik Lodge, Kachina Lodge, Thunderbird Lodge, Yavapai Lodge, and Phantom Ranch's famous cabins are all excellent options within the Grand Canyon Village.
The nearest town to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is Tusayan. It's about 1.5 miles to the entrance of Grand Canyon National Park South Rim and about 6 miles to Grand Canyon Village. Tusayan offers several dining options and other amenities, but there is not much else in this area. If you are thinking that you're the kind of visitor who just wants to see Grand Canyon, take a few pictures and walk around a little, you might only want to stay one night. Going on a helicopter tour, guided hike and bus tour will really enhance your Grand Canyon experience and assist in making the most of your trip.

Briar Patch Inn is the #1 Ranked B&B in AZ since 2011 and has received Trip Advisor's Certificate of Excellence
The Briar Patch Inn features 19 cabins situated on 9 lush acres in Oak Creek Canyon, just 3 miles north of Sedona. Each individual cabin is dressed in distinctly different southwestern decor. The lush grounds - home to wildlife, birds, and two resident sheep - showcase rambling walking paths, canyon oaks, giant pines, and sycamores, all providing the perfect setting to nurture your relationship with nature. Healthy, bountiful, homemade breakfasts are offered by the creek in spring and summer and by the lodge fireplaces in fall and winter. An attentive, longtime staff strives to provide a quality of fine service that is the hallmark of this magical sanctuary. A Fodor's Choice and a Frommer's favorite.
