Denali Park Entrance, The US

Denali Bluffs Hotel

Jump to:

Located at the entrance of Denali National Park, Denali Bluffs Hotel is an excellent place to base yourself during your time in the park. The hotel is built on the slopes of Sugar Loaf Mountain, and commands expansive views of the surrounding mountains.

The decor echoes that of Alaskan log cabins, with timber frames and roaring hearths. There are two good dining options, including a grill restaurant which serves delicious barbecues. Rooms are clean and simply furnished, and many have private balconies that look out over the Alaskan Range.

The hotel will help arrange wilderness activities and experiences (such as 4x4 safaris and biking).

OUR OPINION:

This hotel feels removed from the hustle and bustle of other park entrance hotels, and while its rooms are simple, they have some very rewarding views over Denali National Park.

OUR RATING: Medium
