The Grand Canyon Lodge, built in 1927–1928 at Bright Angel Point on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, was a hotel and cabin complex designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood in the National Park Service rustic style. The resort comprised a main lodge building, 23 deluxe cabins, and 91 standard cabins—all guest accommodations detached from the main structure, which housed dining, concessions, and service facilities. Constructed from native Kaibab Limestone and timber, the complex was designed to harmonize with its rocky, forested setting. The lodge was notable as the last complete lodge and cabin complex in the national parks of the United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and designated a National Historic Landmark. The main lodge building experienced two major fires in its history: the first in 1932 and a second in 2025, the latter resulting in its demolition.
