This newly renovated hotel is ideal for a larger family. It offers two-bedroom suites with spacious living rooms and full kitchens. The hotel is owned by the Inupiat, the Alaska Native tribe that governs the area, and they take great pride in the cleanliness of the facility. Kitchens include full refrigerator, dishwasher, oven/range, sink, microwave and a complete range of dishes and utensils. You can stock up on food at a grocery store two blocks from the hotel. A leather couch and recliner in the living room give you a comfortable place to watch the big flat-screen TV. Other amenities include blackout drapes, free Wi-Fi and goose-down bedding.

The Tukkumavik Suites is in the center of downtown, close to many shops and restaurants. Right next door is the highly regarded Northern Lights restaurant, which serves lunch and dinner daily. The Arctic Ocean is a block away. Start beachcombing at the iconic Whale Bone Arch, and keep an eye out for marine wildlife. Dip a toe or two in the ice-filled waters. Also nearby is the Inupiat Heritage Center, a museum that tells the story of the people who have lived in the area for more than 1,500 years. For its comfort, quality and size, the Tukkumavik Suites makes a great choice for your family adventure in Barrow.
