Lake McDonald Lodge - Glacier National Park - MT - Antique Hotels on Waymarking.com

Lake McDonald Lodge opened its doors on June 14, 1914 and is one of the finest examples of a Swiss Chalet hotel remaining in the United States. Lake McDonald Lodge is a three story structure built on the eastern shore of glaciated, picturesque Lake McDonald. The lobby is a large open space with balconies surrounding the upper portions of the lobby on three sides.

The floors of the lobby have incised messages in Kootenai (a local Native American dialect) that translate into phrases such as "welcome", "new life to those who drink here", "looking toward the mountain", and "big feast". The main lodge was declared a National Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 28, 1987.
