Rendezvous Room in El Tovar’s lobby, 2018
This 2018 view of the Rendezvous Room in El Tovar’s lobby shows that the space remains much the same. Decorations such as mounted heads and simple wooden furniture demonstrate a commitment to the room’s original design. Various renovations updated the hotel’s floors and interiors to accommodate larger volumes of tourists, and a 1983 project included carpeting in heavily visited public areas like this one. | Source:
