Riverview rising in Denali

October 2016

New addition to Denali Bluffs Hotel will overlook the Nenana River.

Denali Hotel Properties has broken ground on a 64-room addition to Denali Bluffs Hotel that it is calling RiverView at the Bluffs.

RiverView at the Bluffs will feature four cedar-sided buildings fabricated by International Homes of Cedar Inc. of Seattle. Rooms will have a veranda looking over the Nenana River.

The property’s parent company is Old Harbor Native Corp.

Company Vice President of Tourism Joe Merrill says room construction will be a boom to the Healy economy over the winter and the new facility will employ 10 people.

A grand opening is planned for June.
