Glacier Park lodge getting $3 million renovation
PARKS – A $3 million renovation to the historic Lake McDonald Lodge at Glacier National Park is under way, marking the first overhaul of the building in nearly 30 years.
Xanterra Parks and Resorts is paying for the upgrades and maintenance to the 102-year-old Swiss chalet-inspired structure, the Associated Press reports.
Renovation began in December and is expected to be completed in May. It is the largest renovation Xanterra has overseen in the park since taking over the concession contract from Glacier Park Inc. in 2014.
Xanterra officials say public areas of the lodge are not set to change much, with most of the work focused on the 82 guest rooms and 13 adjacent cabins.
