The King Eider Inn is one of just a few hotels in Alaska’s northernmost city. Located directly across from the airport, its rooms are extremely clean. It helps that guests are asked to remove their shoes upon entering the lobby. Most rooms have a log cabin style of decor, and include one queen or two full beds that can sleep a small family. Deluxe rooms feature a kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave, stovetop, kitchen sink and a full range of dishes and utensils. Other amenities include a DVD player, blackout drapes, free Wi-Fi and free coffee. The hotel also offers a beautiful sauna to warm you up after a day out in the cold. There is no free breakfast or nearby restaurant, so the kitchenette will come in handy.
The King Eider Inn is in the heart of town, about a half-mile from the beach. Barrow is small, so most attractions and restaurants are within walking distance. The Inn also offers packages that include a rental car if you want to get around more easily. The Arctic Ocean is a few minutes from your hotel. Kids will love watching for marine wildlife along the beach. They can even dip a toe in the frigid ice-filled waters. Also nearby is the Inupiat Heritage Center, an informative museum that tells the story of the people who have lived in the area for more than a thousand years. For its comfort, quality and airport location, The King Eider Inn is a fine choice for your family adventure in Barrow.
