Glacier Park Lodge

Glacier National Park


Set in attractive, perfectly manicured 铿俹wer-铿乴led grounds overlooking Montana鈥檚 oldest golf course, this historic 1914 lodge was built in the classic national-park tradition, with a splendid open-plan lobby supported by lofty 900-year-old Douglas 铿乺 timbers (imported from Washington State). Eye-catching Native American artwork adorns the communal areas, and a full-sized tipi is wedged incongruously onto a 2nd-铿俹or balcony.

In keeping with national-park tradition, the rooms here are 鈥榬ustic鈥 with no TVs or air-con; bathrooms and showers, especially, are small. The configuration of the rooms, including where furniture and the beds go, can be a little quirky, especially at the beginning of the season when kinks are being worked out by the mostly seasonal staff. Rocking chairs are dispersed inside, and out on the shaded porch where the views of the Glacier peaks are worth the price of admission alone; the pool out back has little shade.

Two restaurants and a bar are also open to nonguests.
