I don't know why anyone has not commented. Maybe everyone is sick of the whole thing. As for Awhaneehee, I had thought about that too or maybe Ahwahnee Meadow Lodge or Hotel but maybe they are too close to the original name. Confusing since they made Yosemite Lodge at the Falls to Yosemite Valley Lodge.Quote

I can't even begin to image the difficulty that people would have with that name since some people can't even figure out how to say Ahwahnee. LOLQuote

If the Park Service loses its case and can no longer call it the Ahwahnee (without paying DNC), then they could rename it to Hotel Tissaack.

After almost 30 years of going to Yosemite I am still not sure how to pronounce Tissaack LOLQuote

Well then... they should just stick to calling it the Majestic Hotel (the name being so much easier to pronounce than the Ahwahnee).
