Experience Chena Hot Springs Resort


Welcome to Authentic Alaska's only year round 100+ year old hot springs resort! Chena Hot Springs Resort is the most accessible and developed hot spring resort in Alaska's Interior. Chena Hot Springs was discovered in August 1905 and became famous for curing crippled prospectors of their aches and pains.

 

Today, many local, state, national and international visitors enjoy Chena's natural outdoor hot springs adult (ages 18+) rock lake or indoor family pool. In addition to our relaxing hot springs, a daily free geothermal renewable energy tour offers guests an opportunity to learn more about our "green" projects.

 

Visitors make winter our busiest season with gorgeous Northern Lights dancing above their heads while soaking outside in our 105 degree rock lake. It just doesn't get any better than that!
