Denali National Park stretches across six million acres of untamed wilderness, where sprawling tundra, dense spruce forests, and glittering glaciers surround the towering Mt. McKinley, North America’s highest peak. Summer visitors flock here for hiking, biking, and mountaineering, while nature lovers can spot grizzly bears, moose, wolves, and Dall sheep in their natural habitats. The park’s hotels make it easy to soak in the scenery, from comfortable resorts with modern amenities to rustic lodges that put you right in the heart of the wild. Whatever your style, our handpicked suggestions help you plan an unforgettable Denali escape.

For a resort

• Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge is a classic all-American holiday resort in the Alaskan wilderness, surrounded by mountains and thick forests. Interiors are traditional and make good use of local wood and stone while dining options range from fine dining to casual fare. With endless activities on offer, this is ideal family holiday material.

For a back to nature escape

• Denali Backcountry Lodge is a collection of cosy cabins boasting a remote and beautiful riverside location in the heart of Denali National Park. Cabins are simply styled with comfortable beds and plenty of pine (plus very efficient heating). There's no wifi or phone network making this the perfect place to get back to nature.
