Calling all train buffs! This unique hotel has preserved a fascinating relic of Alaskan history and invites you to come on board to step back in time for the night (and stay for a gourmet breakfast the next morning). Four converted historic railroad cars (plus a dining car) sit on a stretch of private railroad track overlooking Fairbanks and the Tanana River valley. The collection includes a rare Gold Rush-era Pullman sleeper car, a World War II medic carriage and a luxury caboose. Two of the cars welcome children. Each is beautifully decorated with themes from Alaska’s rich history, plus lots of rouge velvet and fancy fringed lampshades.
