Golden Saloon

Welcome to The Golden Saloon

Beautiful scenery, fine cuisine, and true Alaskan history all rolled into one – Perfect for a weekend gateway! Our accommodations and restaurants are in the very center of the largest protected wilderness on earth. The fully restored Ma Johnson’s Hotel is the only authentic historic hotel in the park.

This is the center of evening entertainment in Wrangell St. Elias National Park. Great food and authentic atmosphere.

With an interesting, moderately priced, well-chosen wine list, it is no wonder we please locals and visitors – everyone loves our crave-able food and creative drinks! Wine flights, an inviting single malt scotch selection, and enough variety to make you wonder if you really are all that far from civilization.
