Ma Johnson’s Hotel

A charming, historic gem nestled in the heart of Alaska’s wilderness. Ma Johnson’s Hotel sits in the historic former mining town of McCarthy, on the edge of the vast expanse of the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park.

This award-winning living museum hotel, once a bustling boarding house, now offers a cosy retreat with a palpable sense of history and classic Alaskan hospitality.

Rooms are small and simple with sinks, original bed frames, shared bathrooms and robes and slippers to keep you comfy.

Savour locally grown, in-house dry-aged black angus, yak and wild caught Copper River red salmon at the on-site restaurant, which comes with a backdrop of live music and local artists in its saloon.
