The 10 Top Cozy U.S. Hotels to Visit This Winter - AFAR

"Tucked into a boreal forest north of Fairbanks, this off-grid-feeling lodge is purpose-built for northern lights viewing with 28 geodesic igloos whose ceilings incorporate repurposed 16-foot helicopter windows so guests can watch auroras from bed. Recent additions include modern cube cabins with floor-to-ceiling windows for effortless sky scanning, and the overall vibe balances rugged Arctic inspiration with upscale creature comforts, plus seasonal menus that favor heartier root vegetables in cold months. Dark-sky seclusion, cozy communal spaces, and easy access to aurora-chasing experiences make it a coveted winter destination for stargazers and photographers." - Nicholas DeRenzo
