The Grand Canyon Lodge was a hotel and cabins complex at Bright Angel Point on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, built in 1927–1928. The Grand Canyon Lodge resort complex consisted of the main lodge building, 23 deluxe cabins, and 91 standard cabins, some of which were moved to the north rim campground in 1940. All guests were housed in cabins detached from the main lodge, which served as a dining, concessions, and service facility. The facility was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
The lodge was designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood, who designed a number of other hotels in national parks for the Utah Parks Company and other concessioners. The complex was constructed of native Kaibab Limestone and timber and was designed to harmonize with its rocky and forested setting. It was notable for its setting and rustic design, and for being the last complete lodge and cabin complex in the national parks of the United States.
The main lodge has been destroyed by fire twice in its history, the first time in 1932 and the second in 2025.
