Glacier National Park, Montana: Many Glacier Hotel

The idea is for the hotel to blend in with the countryside. I'd say the builders of the Many Glacier Hotel, located in the northeastern portion of Glacier National Park, have succeeded. You'd have to admit it's a heck of a nice view from a parking lot.

This is the biggest lodge in the park, and it is located near Swiftcurrent Lake. The Great Northern Railway built it between 1914 and 1915. You might have to bring your wallet to stay here, but I would guess it might be worth it for a night or two. 

One warning: that's not Many Glacier in the background. Visitors take a boat and then hike to that particular glacier, although it doesn't take too long. The Hotel is located right on Swiftcurrent Lake, which has an easy walking trail along its edge that takes about an hour to hike.
