Location Anchorage, Alaska

This bold, industrial-modern hotel is a short drive from downtown Anchorage and Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. Polished concrete floors, exposed ceilings and modern light fixtures are balanced by multicolored furniture and rugs, creating a chic, moody, design-forward lobby. In the sprawling common areas, a geometric glass chandelier hangs above low, boxy sofas, and a billiards table is flanked by recessed seating nooks with dark velvet furniture.

The modern styling carries over into guest rooms, where minimalist design is complemented by bold, colorful rugs. Rooms have two queen beds, seating areas and large windows overlooking the surrounding area. Behind paneled dividers, en suite bathrooms feature rainfall showers and whimsical wallpaper. Amenities include air conditioning, Wi-Fi and coffeemakers.

The indoor pool and adjacent whirlpool are lined with red lounge chairs and illuminated by a multicolored neon light fixture, while the fitness center is open 24 hours. Sheltered by the building, the second-story courtyard features a concrete patio with a colorful sunburst design, twinkling patio lights, a fire pit and bold lounge furniture. The bar serves craft cocktails and appetizers, while breakfast options include grab-and-go items.

The property has a comprehensive recycling program, water bottle filling stations, energy-efficient thermostats and low-flow water fixtures. The hotel has also eliminated single-use plastic straws and stirrers.
