What is the best place to stay in Glacier National Park?

Many visitors say the best place to stay is the historic Many Glacier Hotel. Nestled on Swiftcurrent Lake with jaw-dropping mountain views, it's the park’s most iconic lodge. Built in 1915, its Swiss chalet style and remote location provide an unforgettable, unplugged mountain experience.
 
If you want easy access to trails and nature, Swiftcurrent Motor Inn is ideal. Located in the Many Glacier area, it's a no-frills, budget-friendly option with direct trail access to some of the park's best hikes, including Iceberg Lake and Grinnell Glacier.
 
Outside the park but still close, The Resort at Paws Up or Glacier Park Lodge offers upscale accommodations with rustic elegance. These are perfect if you want to enjoy Glacier's beauty without giving up comfort, spa services, and fine dining.
 
Granite Park Chalet is a unique backcountry stay. Accessible only by trail, this historic lodge offers no electricity or running water, but makes up for it with alpine solitude and stargazing. It's ideal for experienced hikers and nature lovers looking to disconnect.
 
Lake McDonald Lodge is a central, family-friendly spot with historic vibes, lake activities, and proximity to Going-to-the-Sun Road. It’s great for families or first-time visitors wanting beautiful scenery with easier access to park highlights.
