Nullagvik is Inupiaq for "A place to sleep," but guests will find much more than a place to sleep when they visit the Nullagvik Hotel in Kotzebue, located thirty-three miles north of the Arctic Circle and home to three thousand Inupiat people.

Despite its presence in Kotzebue since 1975, the Nullagvik of today is fully rebuilt with lots of modern amenities. The Nullagvik Hotel currently features seventy-one guest rooms and seven suites with modern decor, flat screen cable TV, coffee makers, ironing boards, and wired and wireless Internet access. Also available is a meeting room, an observation room, and an exercise room.

Visitors will not only get a place to sleep, but also a great place to eat at the Nullagvik Hotel Restaurant. In addition to classic American fare, the menu also features traditional Inupiat specialties that spotlight reindeer as an ingredient and other local, fresh, Alaska ingredients.
