From the windows framed in recycled 200-year-old wood to the Arts-and-Crafts-style furnishings found in each room, El Portal radiates a distinctive charm reminiscent of a bygone era. While most hotels are constantly remodeling and redecorating in an attempt to be trendier than the competition, Steve and Connie are always striving to make El Portal feel more authentic.

The Wave is a sandstone rock formation located in the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, near the Arizona-Utah border. The Wave is a popular destination for hikers and photographers, and is considered to be one of the most photographed landscapes in the American Southwest.
