Many Glacier Hotel is nestled next to Swiftcurrent Lake.
Built by Louis Hall and the Great Northern Railway in 1914-15, it’s the largest hotel in Glacier National Park with 214 guest rooms. Lofty peaks surround the hotel and its balcony overlooking Swiftcurrent Lake offers one of the finest mountain views anywhere.

As part of an effort to establish Glacier National Park as the “American Alps”, it was built in the chalet style and was considered the “Gem of the West”.
The lobby soars above you.
