HAP Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge

Wake Up to Denali – Your Alaskan Summer Starts Here

Imagine finishing your shift and stepping outside to snow-capped peaks, the roaring Nenana River, and maybe a moose wandering past your window. At HAP Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge, located at the doorstep of Denali National Park, Alaska, you’re not just taking a summer job – you’re living in one of the last great wildernesses on Earth.

We’re hiring Room Attendants for the Summer to Fall season, and we’re looking for energetic university students ready for the adventure of a lifetime through the Work & Travel USA program.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Cleaning and preparing guest rooms to the lodge’s high standards – making beds, changing linens, and refreshing towels
• Vacuuming, dusting, and sanitizing bathrooms and living areas
• Restocking amenities and supplies for arriving guests
• Reporting maintenance issues and lost-and-found items to your supervisor
• Working efficiently as part of a friendly, international housekeeping team
• Greeting guests with a warm smile and helping create unforgettable Alaskan memories

Why Denali National Park?

Denali is home to North America’s tallest peak (6,190 m), grizzly bears, caribou, wolves, and 24 million acres of pure wilderness. During the Alaskan summer you’ll enjoy nearly 20 hours of daylight – perfect for after-work hiking, river rafting, ATV tours, flightseeing over the glaciers, and by late season, your first glimpse of the Northern Lights.

The lodge sits just minutes from the park entrance in a lively resort community full of young seasonal workers from around the world. You’ll make friends from the USA, Europe, Asia and beyond – and share adventures you’ll be telling stories about for years.

Pay & Benefits

• $16.00 per hour – a strong Alaskan wage
• 40 guaranteed hours per week, with possible overtime during peak season
• Season: Summer to Fall – one of the longest Work & Travel placements available
• Employer-provided housing options and employee meal programs (details provided by employer)
• Employee discounts on tours, excursions and lodge facilities
• Full training – no previous hotel experience required
• Work alongside an international team in a supportive hospitality environment

What We’re Looking For

• University students aged 18–25 eligible for the J-1 Work & Travel USA program
• Conversational English – enough to communicate with guests and teammates
• Reliable, punctual and detail-oriented
• Physically fit – the role involves standing, bending, lifting and walking throughout your shift
• A positive, can-do attitude and a genuine love for teamwork
• Willingness to live and work in a remote natural setting (limited shopping and nightlife – but unlimited nature!)
