The Mount Whitney Hostel and Hotel is a great place for visitors to stay, whether you’re hiking, climbing, sightseeing, vacationing or just passing through. With bunk beds and newly renovated hotel rooms, it's luxurious...for a hostel. It has an outstanding view of Mt. Whitney, but being in town, it allots for walking to restaurants and stores. All rooms now have coffee, and hostel rooms have refrigerators as well. Come by and check it out...and better yet, come stay. You will be pleasantly surprised! In addition to lodging, we offer showers, supplies, food, bear canisters, bicycle rentals and there is plenty of space to be rented out for special events too! There's a new lobby area for guests to gather and a full gear / nutrition shop in case you forgot something or need to put together your backcountry meals! We offer ice cold drinks and ice cream to cool you off after your hike, along with $5 hot showers for hikers and climbers!
