    The location is so beautiful! From our suite, we had views of both glaciers and waterfalls. The restaurant is also excellent.

    The view was breathtaking. It is definitely not in a city - but the views were worth it. We had a delicious dinner at the hotel (expensive) but great quality - and again there isn't really anywhere for you to go near by. Recommend making...

    View of the glacier at sunset followed by the Northern Lights was a highlight! Easy to get outside and away from lights to view the Northern Lights. The food was delicious.
