Is staying healthy and physically fit a part of your daily routine? If so, Hotel North Pole would like to introduce our newly constructed Fitness Center available for guests 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Our bright, clean, and well-maintained facility features a commercial grade treadmill, cycle, elliptical, and climber, as well as a flat screen cable TV, fresh towels, and a water fountain for refreshment.  

The Conference room here at Hotel North Pole had a busy week with the State of Alaska Division of Forestry's Alaska Interagency Dispatch Workshop. The Division of Forestry is just one of the three agencies in Alaska that protects our state from wildfires, and works with the BLM Alaska Fire Service and US Forest Service. Workshops were held throughout the week to cover a variety of topics and assist agencies in keeping us and our land safe.

This little boy got a special treat from Santa at Hotel North Pole. Santa came with milk and cookies to share with him.  The Santa Suite and visits from Santa are available all year long.

Santa knew we have some great kids staying at our hotel and stopped by to see them since they were in his hometown.  

Join us for North Pole's 7th Annual "Christmas In Ice". While staying with us, treat your family to the beautiful display of ice scupltures from now to January 7th. Ice slides, a maze, and twirlers for all to enjoy in North Pole's Winter Park. Go to www.christmasinice.org for this year's schedule of events.

share in the thrill of a strong, eager team of Alaskan huskies as they take you through a spruce and birch wooded forest on the ride of a lifetime. These spectacular athletes are hard working and love to pull! 

While on the trail it’s not uncommon to see ptarmigan, spruce hens, moose and snowshoe hare tracks, maybe even a cow moose and her calf. (Moose are sighted weekly in our field adjacent to the dog yard). Ravens often swoop down and fly along the trail ahead of us. We will travel along beaver ponds and even onto parts of the Yukon Quest Sled Dog Race trail.

Also known as the 'Northern Lights' the borealis is currently in the middle of its 11 year cycle which means these are great winters to view the lights. Like stargazing, it helps to have dark surroundings when viewing the northern lights and Hotel North Pole lies in close proximately to prime viewing areas. For guests that request it, the front desk will be happy to phone thier rooms to inform them when the lights are making an appearance.
