Stay at the Bridgewater Hotel, Fountainhead Hotels, and you’re getting a front row seat on downtown Fairbanks—but you also get the atmosphere and personalized service of a European inn, rather than a city hotel. Fountainhead Hotels, locally-owned and independent, is Fairbanks’ premier hotel group, and the Bridgewater is its most intimate property. Overlooking the Chena River, the 94-room Bridgewater features a soft color. It’s open only in the summer, and offers exceptional value.
Rooms in the hotel are cozy and comfortable, and each one includes a booklet titled "Staying Alive in the Arctic," full of fun facts, trivia, and games for kids and adults alike. You’ll also get to know "Buzzy," the general manager who’s known by locals for her almost combustible, cheerful personality—showing the spirit of a real Alaskan. She’s always around to make sure guests are getting the attentive service they need.
Every morning, wake up to the breakfast buffet of fresh fruit and reindeer sausage, a locals’ favorite. And while that’s the only meal served in the hotel, the excellent restaurants of Fairbanks are right outside the doors of the Bridgewater. During summer afternoons and evenings, a free trolley run by Fountainhead makes scheduled between the hotel and various Fairbanks sites—including museums and shopping—while an on-demand shuttle can get you to local destinations at any time..
And if you’re staying either early or late in the season and want to see the Northern Lights—but don’t want to stay up all night waiting—just tell the front desk. They can give you a wake-up call if Mother Nature starts a show.
