Your Trip
Springhill Suites Fairbanks
Location
Fairbanks, Alaska

Located in central Fairbanks on the banks of the Chena River, the Springhill Suites Fairbanks enjoys proximity to the downtown district with its numerous shops and cafes, and the Morris Thompson Cultural & Visitors Center. Large studio-suite rooms feature contemporary design and stylish furnishings, with one king or two double beds, plus a sofa bed. Amenities include deluxe bedding, writing desk, free Wi-Fi, mini fridge and microwave. Start your morning with a full hot breakfast buffet. Recreational facilities include a fully equipped fitness center, heated indoor pool and whirlpool spa. The Springhill Suites Fairbanks is a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence award-winner.
Denali Backcountry Lodge
Location
Denali National Park, Alaska

At the foot of the icebound Alaska Range and accessible only by air, Denali Backcountry Lodge offers an exclusive immersion in remote wilderness that only a few fortunate travelers to Alaska will get to experience. Guests arrive by helicopter, with an eye-level view on the icy flanks of 20,310-foot Denali, weather permitting. The lodge sits on Moose Creek, deep inside Denali National Park 90 miles from the park entrance. Here, silence and solitude prevail, and wildlife roams the tundra and taiga forest surrounding us.

Settle into rustic luxury in your private cedar cabin, the ideal base for a matchless encounter with the rugged wilds of Interior Alaska. Though our location is far from civilization, you won’t be roughing it. Cabins are appointed with a host of amenities to ensure your comfort, including one king or two extra-long full beds with deluxe pillowtop mattresses, individual temperature controls, and blackout curtains so you can sleep when the sun shines at night. Each cabin has a vaulted ceiling and knotty pine walls, a sofa, and a small table with two chairs. You might not expect that food would be a highlight way out here, but dining at Denali Backcountry Lodge receives accolades, with chef-prepared gourmet home cooking featuring seasonal fresh and local ingredients. There’s even a spa and wellness center where you can take a wood-fired sauna, soak in the hot tub, or book a Swedish or hot stone massage.

But the real prize at Denali Backcountry Lodge is the proximity to nature this setting affords. Most park visitors stay just outside the entrance, along a commercial strip that caters to hundreds of tour buses. In contrast, we experience the inner heart of Denali. Choose from a range of activities, including hiking, gold panning, fishing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, riding a mountain bike, touring the historic mining settlement of nearby Kantishna, which saw a short-lived gold rush in the early 1900s, or visiting Wonder Lake to get the iconic postcard shot of Denali rising like a white sentinel behind—and possibly a moose in the foreground!

Marriott Anchorage Downtown
Location
Anchorage, Alaska

This upscale contemporary hotel in the heart of downtown Anchorage is ideally located in walking distance of local shops, cafes, brewpubs  and attractions. Spacious rooms appointed in a stylish palette of slate blue, white and driftwood have large picture windows that frame striking views of the city skyline, Cook Inlet and Chugach Mountains. A host of quality features include plush bedding, high-speed Internet access, flat screen cable TV, large writing desk and chaise settee or lounge chair with ottoman. After a busy day of travel, unwind in the hotel's fitness center, indoor pool or whirlpool. The Cafe Promenade is the on-site restaurant and bar, with food served from 6 AM–11 PM and drinks until midnight.  
Kenai Fjords Wilderness Lodge
Location
Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska

A short, scenic boat ride from Seward brings guests to a rare backcountry experience at Kenai Fjords Wilderness Lodge. This remote outpost is located on a privately owned parcel of land on Fox Island in Resurrection Bay, surrounded by Kenai Fjords National Park. Tucked in the woods between a pebble beach and quiet island lagoon, the lodge provides a serene retreat amid some of Alaska's grandest landscapes. Just 18 guests are accommodated in eight cozy log cabins situated on a narrow peninsula of land near the main day lodge. All cabins are on the waterfront, with some facing the freshwater lagoon while others survey the bay. All cabins have one queen bed and one queen sofa-sleeper, with premium linens; en suite bathroom with shower; propane heating; solar-powered electric lights; and a battery-powered alarm clock.

The main lodge has immense two-story windows that look out across Halibut Cove, where guests should a lookout for sea lions or humpback whales occasionally come into view. Fine dining is a highlight at the lodge, and guests will enjoy innovative meals infused with seasonal ingredients found around Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. The executive chef and kitchen staff enjoy welcoming guests and are happy to share their techniques and recipes. 

The Fox Island setting is magnificent, with glacier-iced peaks towering over the waters rich in marine life. During our stay we will have the opportunity to paddle sea kayaks in search of wildlife. No prior experience is necessary, and our guides will assist even the most rank beginner. We also enjoy a private wildlife cruise on a small chartered vessel, looking for puffins, sea lions, otters and perhaps even whales. It's a vivid contrast to other boat trips where a hundred or more travelers jam the decks. 
Nat Hab's Alaska Bear Camp
Location
Private Inholding Inside Lake Clark National Park, Alaska

Nat Hab's private Alaska Bear Camp on Cook Inlet is a sustainable base for exploring Alaska's most pristine brown bear habitat, providing wilderness accommodations that are low on impact yet high on comfort. Built on a historic homestead on the ancestral land of the Dena'ina people, the remote parcel on roadless land was grandfathered in to remain private when Lake Clark National Park was established in 1980. It's the only such property within the park with this exclusive status. Surrounded entirely by the park today, Bear Camp offers a premier location for immersive encounters with brown bears—the world's largest "coastal grizzlies"—exclusively for Nat Hab guests.

Our deluxe backcountry camp is designed for an unobtrusive presence among the bears, with tent cabins erected on a raised deck in front of the forest, facing the Chinitna Bay shoreline. These custom heavy-duty WeatherPort tents offer sturdy protection against the elements. Each has a solid door and hard floor and is warmed with a propane space heater and illuminated with battery-powered lights. Solar energy provides a portion of the camp's electricity needs, including the electrified fence that surrounds the camp for protection against bears and other wildlife. Each tent cabin is furnished with two twin beds. Charging stations for cameras and phones are available in the dining tent. The bathhouse has hot showers and state-of-the-art composting toilets, and each tent also has a nighttime porta-potty for essential needs. Biodegradable toiletries in refillable bottles are provided. Meals are served in the communal dining tent, which also serves as a space for socializing, guide presentations and topping up your camera batteries. A small library is available in the shared tent, featuring bear-centric titles. Food is a highlight at Bear Camp (and not just for the bears!), with our resident chef creating impressive dishes that draw extensively on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, including fish and seafood straight out of regional waters.
Alaska's Gold Creek Lodge
Location
King Salmon, Alaska

This remote fly-in wilderness lodge located on 16 forested acres on the Naknek River near Katmai National Park is among Alaska's most exceptional accommodations. The main lodge and individual cabins and yurts enjoy territorial and river views along a stretch of water that's famed for some of the best salmon and rainbow trout fishing in Alaska (including from the lodge's 200-foot private dock). Wildlife surrounds us here, and a viewing platform overlooking the river offers a safe place to observe the bears, moose, bald eagles, waterfowl and occasional sea lions that frequent the environs.

Alaska's Gold Creek Lodge is a two-generation, family-run operation, where a select number of guests enjoy an exclusive experience of "bush luxury" and genuine hospitality. The deluxe main lodge provides a central gathering place for gourmet meals featuring freshly caught fish and other locally sourced fare. The expansive space features a high wood ceiling, soaring stone fireplace, leather sofas, rustic wood tables and chairs, and trophy fish mounted on the walls for added ambience. Accommodations are in individual private log cabins, private rooms in the main lodge and deluxe yurts with Alaskan character. Each cabin has a wood stove, two full-size beds, en suite bath, private deck overlooking Gold Creek and the forest, 40-inch flat screen cable TV, Wi-Fi, Keurig coffee maker, and a small fridge stocked with cold drinks. The main lodge suite has three rooms that share a large common upstairs lounge area with comfortable couches and a flat screen TV. Guests wishing to stay in a yurt must make a special request. Each yurt has a queen bed and lounge area, but restrooms are located 25 feet away, requiring you to walk outside the structure.
