This incredible hotel is located within the Klondike Gold Rush National Park Historic District, right in downtown Skagway. The hotel was built in 1897, and originally catered to the miners who came to Alaska for the Gold Rush.
The inn has had quite a lifetime of different uses over the past 124 years.
Gaby Motuloh / TripAdvisor
Throughout the years, it has been used as a brothel, a boarding house, and the Frontier Country Inn. The house still has a lot of unique and antique features and furnitures that helps keep the past alive within the building.
There are 10 bedrooms at the inn.

Each bedroom is named after one of the ladies who "worked" at the bordello when the building first opened. In fact, if you click on the room name to book on the website, it will give you a short biography of the woman it's named after.
