Description

Arizona Steakhouse (formerly the “Arizona Room”) is Bright Angel Lodge’s showcase restaurant, designed to “tell the story of Arizona on a plate.” Mesquite grills impart a subtle smokiness to premium beef sourced from Arizona ranches, while regional produce—such as Hatch green chiles and prickly‑pear fruit—adds a Southwestern twist. Floor‑to‑ceiling windows frame the canyon’s layered walls, making the restaurant as much a viewpoint as a dining venue.

History

Bright Angel Lodge opened in 1935, designed by famed architect Mary Jane Colter.
The lodge’s original cafeteria evolved into today’s Arizona Steakhouse, re‑branded in 2016 to emphasize locally sourced ingredients and sustainable practices.
The restaurant is a 3‑Star Certified Green Restaurant® (Green Restaurant Association, 2024).
