No. The closest ones will be all quite a distance away - 100 miles or more.

Closest Hilton family hotel is the Doubletree in Modesto, ~110 miles.

No Hilton or any other branded hotel in park boundaries. I think the Curry Company still has the contract for all in park lodging.
The Ahwanee Hotel there is a wonderful, astounding place. I can't afford to stay there, but did splurge on a meal in the dining room once. I suspect the rooms may be relatively modest, but I wouldn't know.
If you're goal is great lodging as opposed to getting points, this is the place.

Maybe at one time, but it has not for at least the past three years. It is now the Yosemite Concessions Services. I was fortunate the have Yosemite as an account.
To book rooms, see:

For a great general info site on Yosemite see:

I have been to Yosemite in the spring, summer and fall; I will get there in the winter at some point. It is beautiful! (A very lame description, but words can not do justice).
Two tips, while the fall is nice, the waterfalls in the late summer and fall are not as spectacular, the water supply dwindles towards the end of the year. The falls are HUGE during the spring. Also, while there is lodging outside the park, my enjoyment of Yosemite has been greater when I've stayed in the park.
edited to add, each time I have stayed in Yosemite, it has been at the Ahwanee, well worth the $ IMO. Even if you don't make sure you dine in the grand dining hall w/the 40' timbered ceilings.
