As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
Alaska has the biggest and best of many things: mountains, landmass, and coastline. We have the aurora borealis, record-breaking snowfalls, and 24 hours of daylight. So it is no surprise that one of the very best hotels in the entire world is right here in Alaska. And it’s no regular hotel — it’s located right inside Denali National Park in the Don Sheldon Amphitheater. Continue reading about why this might just be one of the best hotels in Alaska!
If you’re looking for the adventure of your dreams, look no further than the Sheldon Chalet.
Located deep within Denali National Park, this 5-star luxury resort is not just one of the best hotels in the world; it’s also one of the most remote. But you wouldn’t be able to tell by the amenities it offers.
The hotel is perched on top of a nunatak in the Don Sheldon Amphitheater, located in Denali National Park on the magnificent Ruth Glacier.
You’ll take a scenic helicopter ride into this unique hotel before settling in to enjoy the landscape. The chalet is perched at 6,000 feet elevation, giving it a world-class, panoramic view of the wild beauty surrounding you.

The bedrooms offer 180-degree views of the incredible Alaska Range right outside your window.
The chalet has five bedrooms, and each room can sleep up to two people. The entire chalet is equipped with luxury furnishings, guaranteed to make your stay nice and cozy.
The original structure is a short walk from this beautiful chalet, which comes in at over five times the original size of the Mountain House. The shape allows each home area to take in the breathtaking views outside the window.
Every detail — from the fine dining menu the in-house chef prepares to the award-winning wine and experienced guides willing to take you out on Ruth Glacier to explore — is taken care of. Your entire stay is only limited by what you want to do!
Your personalized stay can be booked directly with one of the Sheldon Chalet’s staff. Prices start at $75,000 for up to 4 people for an exclusive 3-night minimum.
Your trip cost includes every aspect, including the helicopter flight in, the in-house chef who prepares gourmet meals and selects wine pairings, guided glacier tours, and all the gear you need for your adventures.
If you have the opportunity to visit Sheldon Chalet in your lifetime, don’t pass it up.
From sparkling mountain peaks, miles of glaciers, and views that stretch out into some of the most stunning wilderness in the world, Sheldon Chalet is a gift to visit!
