Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge

The Gold Rush figures prominently in the décor of this lodge situated on the banks of the Chena River in the heart of Fairbanks, Alaska. Founded by miners consumed with the “gold fever” that swept Alaska at the turn of the century, Fairbanks is the gateway to Alaska's rugged Interior. This is where the romance of Alaska begins — the Alaska of the Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun. Here, at the edge of Alaska's vast wilderness is a haven of warm service and exceptional comfort: the Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge.

Fairbanks' most refined hotel is also its best situated. Ideally located just minutes from the Fairbanks International Airport, we're also convenient to the downtown area and the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, as well as tourist attractions, such as the El Dorado Gold Mine, the Riverboat Discovery and Pioneer Park.
