Glacier Bay Lodge: The Only Sheltered Quarters on the Waterfront
  • Tip Rating:
  • Glacier Bay Lodge is the only sheltered accommodation within Glacier Bay. Its upstairs is reckoned a "visitor center," though a single attendant mainly runs the cash register for a small holding of local publications. Some displays otherwise ornament the upstairs loft. Below, a small gift shop and bathrooms give way before an immense dining hall, where resort prices are the order of the day.

    Unique Qualities: Rates for a double room run at $179 in season, but none of these (or few if any) allow an unobstructed view of Glacier Bay -- such a luxury is solely reserved for the diners in the hall or the partly-covered patio without. Rooms are careful blocked by the lodge itself. Glacier Bay's only shower and laundry are accessible to non-lodgers outside the lodge.
