Overview of Glacier Park Lodge

Glacier Park Lodge is the original lodge constructed by the Great Northern Railway in 1913, and for the last 100 years, it has been the first stop for visitors traveling to Glacier by Amtrak train. The lodge is located just outside the park on the southeast corner, just outside the entrance of the Two Medicine Lake area, where you'll find beautiful hikes and boat tours. The highlight of Glacier Park Lodge is the vast Douglas fir pillars over 40 feet high and 40 inches in diameter that form the supports in the distinguished lobby. The lodge's decor reflects the culture of the surrounding Native American communities. The lodge sits on a nine-hole golf course surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens and fantastic mountain views.

Room accommodations include affordable main lodge rooms, the quieter and more spacious Great Northern Rooms, suites, family rooms, and two unique cottages. Amenities include the Great Northern Dining Room, Native American Trading Post, and Country Corner, shuttle transfers to Two Medicine and Many Glacier, interpretive hotel tours, bell service, transfers to the nearby Amtrak station, complimentary WiFi, espresso bar in the lobby, concierge and activity booking desk.

Glacier Park Lodge is seasonally open from the beginning of June through mid to end of September.
