When naturalist John Muir explored the Yosemite Valley in the 19th century, he was so taken with the beauty of the Sierra Nevada that he remarked, “It is by far the grandest of all the special temples of nature I was ever permitted to enter.” He spent decades working to preserve this pristine natural worldand cofounded the American conservation organization Sierra Club.
Muir’s whole outlook changed once he visited Yosemite. You will feel the same way when you experience a conference at Tenaya at Yosemite, because this Sierra Nevada resort is not the everyday meeting destination. Out here, your team can move mountains—and climb them.
The Yosemite region is an awe-inspiring world of towering views, giant sequoias, and rushing waterfalls. Just 170 miles from San Francisco and 2 miles from Yosemite National Park, Tenaya is situated on 75 forested acres. The mountain resort offers meeting and event planners several unique venues plus distinctive experiences on-property and in Yosemite.
Providing 18,000 square feet of indoor meeting space—including 14 flexible meeting rooms—Tenaya is ideal for both small board meetings and large conferences. Its conference service and culinary teams create a unique experience focused on the specific needs of each event. Offering four seasons of group activities, its team will customize a meeting experience to your exact needs.
Additionally, Tenaya delivers a trifecta of winning lodging options. There are 244 Lodge Rooms and Lodge Suites that were elegantly reimagined and upgraded last year, along with 50 two-bedroom Explorer Cabins on 27 acres adjacent to the main resort. Plus, Tenaya offers spacious cottages nestled in the woods nearby. Just a short walk from the main lodge, each cottage features a fireplace along with a private balcony or patio.
Resort highlights include:
- Central location in California close to Fresno Yosemite International Airport
- 10,000-square-foot ballroom with banquet seating for up to 850 guests
- Group activities including guided hikes and full- and half-day Yosemite tours, mountain biking and e-biking, archery, and an 18-foot climbing wall
- Full-service Ascent Spa offering treatments such as massages and facials
- Elegant multicourse dining at Embers, Jackalope’s Bar & Grill, Timberloft Pizzeria, and more
- Multiple off-site event venues
A visit to Yosemite may prove as significant for your attendees as it was for John Muir more than 150 years ago.
