Our Story

A Fairbanks Institution Since the Gold Rush

For over a century, The International Hotel and Bar has been more than just a building — it's been the heartbeat of Fairbanks. From prospectors seeking warmth after a day on the fields to modern adventurers looking for a taste of home, we've welcomed them all.

Our bakery has been turning out artisan breads for generations, using recipes passed down through decades of Alaskan winters. Every loaf tells a story, every cocktail honors our heritage.
