Famed Yosemite hotels and landmarks forced to change names

Move comes in ongoing dispute with Delaware North, the company that lost a $2bn bid to run the national park's hotels, restaurants and outdoor activities

The names of iconic hotels and other landmarks in the world-famous Yosemite national park will soon change in an ongoing battle over who owns the intellectual property, park officials said Thursday.

The luxurious Ahwahnee will become the Majestic Yosemite hotel, and Curry Village will become Half Dome Village, said park spokesman Scott Gediman.
