Grand Canyon Lodge
Like Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the Canyon and El Tovar on the South Rim, the best cabins on the north side tend to fill up at least a year in advance. Fortunately, there aren't any bad options up north. All of the cabins and motel rooms, which serve as the "lodging" component of the Grand Canyon Lodge, are close to the rim. Therefore, no matter where you lay your head, you're never more than a few minutes' walk from the main lodge itself, which is even more impressive than its sister to the south.
