Accommodation
Glacier Bay Lodge — Glacier Bay National Park
Nestled under the spruce trees that line Bartlett Cove, Glacier Bay Lodge offers the only hotel accommodations within Glacier Bay National Park. The Lodge offers magnificent sunset views of the Fairweather Mountain range. Here you'll enjoy cozy hotel room accommodations among the Sitka Spruce trees and relax in the warmth of the lobby's massive stone fireplace. All rooms have en suite bathrooms.
Goldbelt Hotel — Juneau, AK
The Goldbelt Hotel in downtown Juneau may offer excellent access to all that's civilized in Alaska's capital city, but you're never far removed from what may trump civilization: the amazing natural backdrop. At seven stories high, the Goldbelt has prime views of Juneau's waterfront—which can be seen from each of the 104 handsome guest rooms. Complimentary shuttle service is available to/from the Juneau Airport, there is a gym on-site, and the hotel will soon be opening a bar and grill.
