Nestled just 10 miles north of the Denali National Park entrance, the Denali Park Hotel is one of the best places to stay in Denali, especially if you enjoy history. The Denali Park Hotel is home to the last remaining relics of the storied McKinley Park Hotel, which once stood at the entrance to the park. You can see several of the old train cars from the “temporary” second hotel, as well as other building structures that have been repurposed into rooms at the Denali Park Hotel.
