Glacier National Park is nestled in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, offering breathtaking beauty and over 1 million acres of wilderness to explore. Visitors often find difficulty in selecting an accommodation due to such a wide variety.
First on the list of top places to stay is the iconic Many Glacier Hotel. This century-old Swiss-style lodge provides sweeping views of the surrounding peaks and Swiftcurrent Lake, creating a perfect visual treat for nature enthusiasts. Following closely is the Lake McDonald Lodge, a historic 103-year-old lodge filled with grandeur and authentic Northwestern feeling. It's situated on the shores of the park's biggest lake, where guests can rent boats or just bask by the lakeside.
Just outside the west entrance of the park, there are two standout options. The Belton Chalet, is an impeccable Arts and Crafts-era lodge that has been pampering guests since 1910. Similarly, Glacier Outdoor Center Cabins offers well-furnished log cabins, perfect for those wanting a private retreat. Another private getaway would be Glacier General Store and Cabins, located close to the park, offering comfortable cabins ideal for families or couples.
For a rustic cabin experience, Granite Park Chalet and Sperry Chalet are the top choices. Both are accessible only by trail and offer shelter to those hikers who love the adventure of the wilderness. On the other hand, for those who prefer campgrounds, Fish Creek and St. Mary are excellent places to camp, offering both tent and RV sites with stunning views of the park.
The Village Inn at Apgar is another charming location situated on the southwestern end of Lake McDonald. Its rooms offer stunning sunrise views, providing a beautiful start to your day. Finally, the Swiftcurrent Motor Inn, offers cozy rooms and cabins, near the Many Glacier entrance, making it a convenient place to stay.
Each of these places offer a unique experience and a range of amenities to make your stay comfortable, and also provide easy access to nature’s grandeur that is Glacier National Park.
