Overlook the Nenana River in rustic
elegance at the McKinley
Chalet Resort,
a recently remodeled upscale resort
just one mile from the Denali Park
entrance. Heavy on cedar, the lodge
has several buildings tucked into forest,
all connected by boardwalks, and this
Swiss chalet feel makes it more intimate
than its 345 rooms suggest. Choose
from deluxe rooms or upscale, cedar-lodge
mini-sites. The “upper” rooms
at the McKinley Chalet Resort have
great views of the river, while “lower” rooms
are situated in a quiet spruce forest
along the shore of the Nenana River.
When you’re not spending a day
touring Denali National Park, the convenient
location of McKinley Chalet Resort provides
easy access to other outdoor activities.
You’ll find extensive shuttle service,
which runs between the hotel and rail
depot, Denali visitor center, and other
local attractions.
Inside the lodge, there’s both
casual and fine dining, along with
a specialty coffee shop. The Alaska
Cabin Nite Dinner Theatre is within easy walking
distance. In the lobby, you’ll
find interpretive exhibits and park
programs, all to give you a better
understanding of the area. Browse for
native crafts in the expanded gift
shop, or have your picture taken at
the Old Sourdough Studio, sitting atop
an Alaska moose or riding a giant wild
salmon.
During the shoulder season,
the McKinley Chalet offers some good
deals, often in conjunction with
Alaska Railroad.
