Sheldon Chalet is known as the world's most remote hotel. It is located precariously on the slopes of the Don Sheldon Amphitheater, in the Ruth Glacier area, in Denali National Park, Alaska. Sheldon Chalet is a luxury resort with breathtaking views of the Ruth Glacier.
Accessible only by helicopter, it is also one of the most remote places to stay in the world.
Denali National Park, Alaska, covers more than 24,000 km2. This is a haven for many wild animals such as: grizzly bears, reindeer, deer, moose... This place is one of the most beautiful destinations when visiting America, but also the most difficult place to get to and access.
Sheldon Chalet is located in the Don Sheldon Amphitheater glacial valley at an altitude of 1,829 m above sea level. It is not accessible without a private helicopter. This is also the reason why Sheldon Chalet is the most remote hotel in the world.
Guests to Sheldon Chalet must book a minimum of three nights, which costs around $35,000 and includes helicopter service, dining and outdoor activities.
This “remote” hotel was completed and put into operation in 2018. The hotel is named after the father of the two current hotel owners, Robert and Kate Sheldon. Mr. Don Sheldon is an Alaskan pilot who often flies tourists who are mountain climbers, fishermen, and hunters to explore remote lands.
"My parents are very impressive and memorable people because they were passionate about building this vacation home without wanting much. They just wanted guests to enjoy this place, a more magical destination than anywhere else on earth. It took them nearly 10 years to get the building permit for Sheldon Chalet. The work of flying back and forth to bring the items to this remote place was also very difficult. So I think the price of $35,000 for a three-night stay is reasonable," Robert Sheldon once told the Chicago Tribune.
They built the house in 2018 and immediately appeared in many newspapers because of its special location, difficult to access, high price. Offering a completely private experience, separate from the hustle and bustle of urban life, this snow mountain resort is an ideal place for wealthy tourists.
