★★★★☆ 4.0 Vladan Novakovic · Aug 2020

One of the landmarsk of the small Alaskan town Skagway.The hotel and the place itself looks like it came out of those western movies.So cool!!!! The Golden North Hotel was built in 1898, at the height of the rush, providing accommodations and refreshment to some of the 1,000 prospectors passing through the city every week. It was this stream of guests that helped provide the basis for the principal ghost story associated with the hotel. The tale involves a prospector — sometimes referred to as “Klondike Ike” — who travelled to Skagway with his fiancé Mary. Mary took up residence in Room 23 at the Golden North while Ike headed out on the 500-mile journey to the gold fields. From this point, the story takes on a few variations: some say Mary fell ill with pneumonia; some say she grew worrie

And they say that Room 23 is haunted by Mary's ghost. Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: Must make a reservation way in advance for that haunted room! Love America's Haunted Hotels! The Golden North is Fabulous!!!

Unique experience. Considered the most haunted place in all of Canada. Rooms on site, but no one stays here. We caught an excursion from the site.

Historic hotel

★★★★☆ 4.0 Esperanza García del Parapeto · Apr 2024

Uno de los iconos de esta pequeña ciudad con su cúpula en forma de cebolla. Se construye en 1898 como sede de una empresa comercial hasta que en 1908 se transforma en hotel con su curiosa historia porque se anunciaba como " amplias habitaciones . No hay bar ,no hay literas . Preferiblemente clientes de negocios ". Ya no funciona como hotel .
