Hotel Captain Cook
Location
Anchorage, Alaska

The most distinguished guest address in Anchorage since it was built in 1965, this downtown landmark is an award-winning member of the Historic Hotels of America, added to the list in 2016. Befitting its full-service luxury status, it offers a full slate of amenities in a traditional, genteel setting. Decor is themed around the voyages of British explorer and cartographer Captain James Cook, who charted Alaska’s coastline for the first time on his final voyage in 1778. While looking for a northwest passage to Hudson Bay, he and his crew aboard the HMS Resolution dropped anchor in Turnagain Arm — within sight of the spot where the Hotel Captain Cook stands today. The hotel’s expansive private art collection features paintings, drawings, sculptures and wood carvings of subjects like historic sailing ships, Indigenous people and depictions of the captain’s excursions. Pieces of the collection are on display in common areas, prominently featured in the lobby, dining spaces, hallways and other locations throughout the hotel.

Well-appointed guestrooms in three towers offer a mix of views over the city skyline, Chugach Mountains and Cook Inlet. Rooms have one king or two double beds, a comfortable chair, writing desk, safe, TV and complimentary Wi-Fi. To ensure your comfort during Alaska’s near 24/7 summer daylight, each room has blackout drapes, air conditioning, a ceiling fan and windows that open.

The Crow’s Nest is the Captain Cook’s acclaimed AAA 4-Diamond fine-dining restaurant on the hotel’s top floor, with 360° views on Anchorage and the dramatic natural environment that surrounds it. On the main level, Fletcher’s Bar serves cocktails, beer, wine and casual fare in a dark and cozy British pub setting. Breakfast is served in The Pantry. Guests have access to the hotel’s impressive Athletic Clubs, with separate facilities for men and women for locker rooms, cardio and weight machines, steam room and sauna, and shared Peloton bikes and swimming pool.
Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge
Location
Talkeetna, Alaska

Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge, a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence winner, sits atop a bluff above the rustic hamlet of Talkeetna on the south side of Denali, offering magnificent views of "The Great One" and the Alaska Range. Talkeetna has long been the jumping-off point for climbing expeditions to Denali, and the historic town retains a rough-and-tumble charm. But the lodge itself, situated on 640 acres, provides a luxurious respite from the Alaskan wild. Guest rooms are located in three different lodge buildings, all constructed with massive timbers and stonework—160 tons of rock collected from the Matanuska River are incorporate throughout the lodge's design and decor. The central feature of the main Great Room is the 46-foot tall river rock fireplace, and various animal designs have been crafted in stone in the pillars at the lodge entrance. The enormous logs in the Great Room are from beetle-killed spruce trees from the Ninilchik area, and the ceiling is constructed of knotty pine. Throughout the lodge, the trim is crafted using birch from Trapper Creek.  

Spacious 364-square-foot guest rooms have two queen beds or one king, a private bath, hair dryer, writing desk, coffee maker, satellite television, telephone, and optional wireless Internet. Fine food and drink is available in the Foraker Dining Room, while casual fare is served at the Base Camp Bistro and Lounge. The Tokosha Coffee & Gift Shop in the main lodge carries a variety of souvenirs and authentic Alaska Native art, as well as your favorite espresso drinks.
Hotel Alyeska
Location
Girdwood, Alaska

Designed to integrate Alaska Native heritage with modern luxury, the chateau-style Hotel Alyeska is one of Alaska's finest accommodations. Located within the Alyeska Resort in a lush valley near the historic mining-supply town of Girdwood, the hotel provides visitors access to stupendous mountain environs via a mountaintop tram, with plenty of enticing hiking and walking trails. Views from the summit take in the length of Turnagain Arm and the glacier-clad peaks of the Chugach Range and Kenai Mountains. The renowned "Seven Glaciers" AAA 4-diamond restaurant located on top of the mountain (accessed by the tram) is an enticing option for a gourmet meal (not included) during your free evening at the resort. 

The hotel, built in 1994, underwent a multi-million-dollar renovation in 2007, bringing interiors and guest rooms to a new level of luxury. Expansive rooms feature elegant decor in rich natural colors, Alaska Native artwork and Edward Curtis photographs, plush new carpets, premier pillow-top mattresses, satellite TV, MP3 clock radio, complimentary wireless Internet access, mini refrigerator and in-room safe. Large bathrooms have heated towel racks, lighted make-up mirror, hair dryer, bathrobes and slippers for guests' comfort and convenience. Starbucks' in-room coffee and complimentary bottled water are provided. Hotel amenities include several restaurants and a bar, 24-hour room service, a full-service spa, pool and whirlpool, and fitness center.
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. 
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.
