Grande Denali Lodge

Denali Park Entrance, The US

Boasting the finest views of any lodge at the park entrance, the Grande Denali Lodge is conveniently located just north of the Denali National Park entrance road on Sugar Loaf Mountain. Its peaceful mountain location provides guests with a scenic setting amid the wilderness of the Denali area.

The interior design of the main lodge lobby highlights the area’s Alaskan Native Heritage with timbered log accents, vaulted ceilings and a stone fireplace. The huge picture windows offer panoramic views of the surrounding Denali wilderness and the Nenana River canyon. You can enjoy a wide array of outdoor activities from the lodge, including the Alaska Railroad, river rafting, flightseeing and hiking.

OUR OPINION:

Meals here tend to be on the pricey side, but the hotel is in an extraordinary location with spectacular views and is a convenient base for exploring Denali National Park.
