Northern Light Explore: Your Gateway to Yukon’s Celestial Magic At Elite Hotel & Suites Whitehorse, we don’t just offer a room; we offer a front-row seat to the wonders of the Arctic. Here is why your next winter escape should start with us.
The Heart of Whitehorse Convenience Located in the vibrant “Downtown Center,” Elite Hotel provides the perfect balance between rugged adventure and urban comfort. When you aren’t out chasing the lights, you are just steps away from the MacBride Museum, local art galleries, and cozy cafes. Our spacious rooms — often noted by guests as some of the largest in the city — are equipped with microwaves, fridges, and plush bedding, ensuring you have a warm sanctuary to return to after a night in the wild.
Tailored Aurora & Winter Adventures The Yukon is a vast wilderness, and navigating it in the winter requires local expertise. That is where we come in. Elite Hotel specializes in curated “Northern Light Tours” and “Ski Packages” designed to take the guesswork out of your trip.
1. Northern Lights Tours: The Aurora is a fickle beauty, often appearing in the quiet hours between 10 PM and 3 AM. Our partnered tours take you away from the city lights to dedicated viewing sites — often cozy cabins or heated tents — where you can wait for the sky to ignite in shades of neon green, violet, and crimson.
2. Takhini Hot Springs: No winter trip to the Yukon is complete without a soak in the legendary Takhini Hot Springs. Located just a short drive from the hotel, these natural mineral waters offer a therapeutic escape. Imagine soaking in 40°C water while your eyelashes frost over and the steam rises into the moonlight. It is the ultimate Yukon “spa” experience.
3. The Thrill of the Trail: For those seeking an adrenaline rush, our location serves as a gateway to world-class dog sledding and skiing. Feel the power of a husky team as you glide through snow-covered boreal forests, or head to Mount Sima for downhill thrills.
Dining and Relaxation After a day of exploration, you don’t have to go far for a world-class meal. Our on-site restaurant, Giorgio’s Cuccina, is a local favorite, serving up incredible Italian cuisine and an extensive wine list. If you’re looking for a more casual vibe to swap stories with fellow travelers, Sam McGee’s Bar & Grill offers the perfect northern atmosphere to grab a pint and relax.
Plan Your Escape The best time to see the Northern Lights in the Yukon is from late August to mid-April, when the nights are long and dark. Whether you are looking for a quick weekend “light-chasing” mission or a long-term stay to soak in the northern culture, Elite Hotel & Suites is ready to welcome you.
