Pike's Waterfront Lodge

On the Chena River in Fairbanks’ College neighborhood, steps from the riverwalk. Less than 2 miles from Fairbanks Intl. Airport and minutes from the University of Alaska‑Fairbanks, Georgeson Botanical Garden and Pioneer Park. A riverfront lodge that’s pet-friendly and family-friendly.

Walk into a lodge-style lobby hung with Alaskan artwork and territorial furnishings—think stuffed polar bears, moose and caribou. The grounds surprise: a hydroponic greenhouse, two regulation bocce courts, a putting green and a miniature golf course overlooking the river. Rooms (208 total) are air-conditioned and come with refrigerators, flat-screen TVs, safes, desks and private baths with shower/tub combinations.

Work out any hour in the 24-hour fitness center, unwind in the sauna or steam room, then hit the arcade or library for low-key fun. Enjoy terrace and garden views, free parking, a picnic area and complimentary 24-hour airport shuttle. Wake up to river-breeze mornings and easy access to riverwalk trails.

A full business center and 24-hour front desk support meetings and events. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected; luggage storage and concierge services add extra convenience. The property is accessible and offers an airport shuttle for smooth travel.

On-site options include Pike’s Landing and the Binkley Room serving American fare with local flavors, plus a snack bar/deli and the Captain’s Lounge for cocktails. Buffet breakfast is offered daily from 6 AM to 10 AM for a fee.
