Many Glacier Hotel

Frommer's Review

Many Glacier is a vast, sprawling four-story structure on Swiftcurrent Lake. It's the most popular lodging in the park, and with good reason. The setting is beautiful, and there's a wide variety of activities to embark on from here--boating, hiking, and bird-watching, to name but a few. Most of the rooms are a little larger than the ones usually associated with a Northern Pacific hotel. But this was never a "railroad hotel." Completed in 1915, it was one of a network of chalets--others were Sperry and Granite--that visitors rode to on horseback. The chalets were set 1 day's ride apart.

Rooms, decorated in keeping with the hotel's historic roots, are located in the main lodge around the balconies overlooking the lobby or in the adjoining annex. We like the lakeside rooms, for their views of Swiftcurrent Lake. Those who plan to use their room only as a place to crash at the end of the day can save money by booking one of the smaller units. You'll almost certainly see bears wandering around Many Glacier in August when the huckleberries ripen. All units are no-smoking.
