The Wildbirch Hotel
Location
Anchorage, Alaska
Optimally situated in downtown Anchorage about 15 minutes from Ted Stevens International Airport, this newly redesigned hotel offers a prime location for exploring the city and its surrounding natural environs. The property is within walking distance of local restaurants, shops, and attractions like the Anchorage Museum, Alaska Public Lands Information Center, the Ship Creek salmon spawning area, and the 13-block urban green space of Delaney Park.
The overall vibe is stylish and contemporary, with clean lines, lots of glass, light natural wood, and local art. Art is an integral element of the hotel, and its owners invite guests to "experience Alaska through a creative lens" via carefully curated pieces that include striking murals, hand-painted taxidermy, and thought-provoking installations that tell a story. The lobby features a sleek fireplace and comfortable modernist seating that offers a warm space for relaxing or socializing. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the lobby with natural light and offer views of Knik Arm. Enjoy freshly brewed coffee or handcrafted cocktails at the lobby cafe and bar, or sample exclusive craft beers at the on-site Midnight Sun Brewery. Crimson is Wildbirch's restaurant inspired by the crimson sunsets over Cook Inlet, with a menu rooted in Alaska’s freshest offerings interpreted with a bit of Pan-American Latin flair. A gift shop showcases unique creations from Alaskan artists and artisans.
Designed for comfort and functionality, guest rooms are as distinctive as the hotel's public spaces. Featuring artistic wood and leather decor, rooms have a writing desk with a lamp and ergonomic chair, a fashionable lounge chair, and large windows with sweeping views of Knik Arm or the Anchorage skyline. Rooms have king-size or two queen beds with high-quality linens and colorful pillow and throw accents, flanked by nightstands with reading lights and additional charging ports. Amenities include high-speed Wi-Fi, a mini fridge, espresso maker and electronic safe.
