Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge

Set on the banks of the Chena River, the 328-room Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge boasts all the atmosphere of a wilderness lodge, yet it’s also one of the city’s most luxurious properties. It’s also conveniently located, close to the airport and the shops and restaurants of downtown. Take a stroll through the gardens here, along a walking path past flowers and a babbling brook. And enjoy the view from the rooms: many of them have views of the river, or you can sit out on the deck, which stretches to the water’s edge. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a snack as the sun goes down.

Some say Fairbanks is the beginning of real Alaska, a Gold Rush town surrounded by gorgeous scenery and endless tundra. But the Fairbanks Princess is hardly an old-time hotel: this lodge boasts all the service and luxury of the Princess name, with lots of amenities. For those who need to stay connected, there’s a business center, along with free wireless internet access throughout the hotel. Work out in the fitness center or sip a coffee from the espresso bar.

You won’t lack for things to do while staying at the Fairbanks Princess Lodge. Get advice on activities from the Guest Service desk, or book an excursion: explore an old mining town or take a riverboat cruise.

Waterfront Views

When it’s time to dine, the Edgewater, overlooking the Chena River, serves delicious buffets at breakfast, and in the evening becomes one of the most elegant restaurants in Fairbanks. You’ll find Alaska seafood, delicious tenderloin, and a selection of 40 wines to complement the cuisine. You can enjoy a more casual meal at Trackers Restaurant, wind down the day with a drink by the fireplace, or sit out on the deck overlooking the river.

Dining at Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge

For many guests, this may be their first or last Alaskan meal (the Fair­banks Princess Lodge is the north­ern­most des­ti­na­tion on many Princess Tours), and the Edge­wa­ter is a great place to begin or end an Alaskan adven­ture. The menu fea­tures fresh Alaskan seafood and select meats, served with fresh pro­duce from local, organ­ic farms. And the Edge­wa­ter staff takes pride in cre­at­ing mem­o­rable meals in this semi-upscale din­ing environment…  ...more

Casu­al, fun and hap­pen­ing, this bar and restau­rant inside the Fair­banks Princess Lodge is a great spot with a deck over­look­ing the Chena Riv­er. Open sea­son­al­ly, May — September.
