The building is designed as a series of chalets, up to four stories tall, and stretches for a substantial distance along the lakeshore.

On the inside, the four-story lobby is surrounded by balconies, whose railings are patterned after Swiss designs.

The chalets were intended to entice visitors to leave the hotels and see the backcountry in a more rustic manner.

These chalets were especially used during the early 1900s when the Hotel first opened, and the main attraction in the park was horseback riding.

The hotel is a contributing property in the National Historic Landmark, Great Northern Railway Buildings district.
