Just a five-minute shuttle ride from the entrance to Denali National Park, the McKinley Chalet Resort sits on a rise above the Nenana River. This busy property is frequented by tour groups and is often buzzing with excited visitors traveling through this well-known corner of Alaska.
Large amphitheater with live music and educational presentations.
The resort is home to more than 500 standard guest rooms in several separated cedar buildings throughout the spacious property. Although the hotel does not guarantee room types, they offer guest rooms with one king bed, two queen beds, two doubles, or one king with a double pullout couch. The property features a large amphitheater where guests can enjoy free live music and educational presentations, or gather around a fire circle to exchange stories from the day.
There are two restaurants onsite, the upscale Canyon Steakhouse and the casual Karstens Public House. Along with scrambles and skillets, the Canyon Steakhouse's full morning menu features several signature egg benedicts. Steak naturally tops the dinner menu, as does local Alaskan seafood. The fare at Karstens Public House playfully blends local favorites with flavors from the lower 48 for a scrumptious yet relaxed breakfast, lunch, or dinner meal. Guests can also enjoy a drink and small bite to eat at the attached bar overlooking the Nenana River.
