Alyeska Resort - The Hotel Alyeska - Girdwood Alaska Accommodation

Located just 40 miles from Anchorage in the resort town of Girdwood, The Hotel Alyeska pairs world-class accommodations with Alaskan wilderness. This AAA-rated 4-diamond hotel (the only one in the state) sits tucked amid the Chugach Mountains on Alaska's south-central coast, with a backdrop of glaciers, bald eagles, and towering spruce trees.

Outside the hotel, the resort staff has done a wonderful job with the hotel's mountainside landscaping, including a small pond and plenty of flowers. It's great place for a short walk, or to start your hike on Winner Creek trail, which is just beyond the tram building.

Inside, you'll find rooms decorated with simple elegance. Burgundy and hunter green colors combine with black-and-white nature photography and cherry wood accents. The hotel's lobby and common areas are quite grand by Alaska standards. There's even a stuffed polar bear.

The Junior Suites are non-traditional, in that they do not have separate living and sleeping areas, but are spacious at 550-plus square feet. These oversized rooms are found in the hotel's tower under the Royal Suite and take advantage of the rounded windows for panoramic views. A recent upgrade added new bedding, leather couches, robes, and more. The Prince Paradise beds are six layers of luxury, with a down mattress top and feather pillows.

The 1,275-square-foot Royal Suite is The Hotel Alyeska's premier room, featuring a two-level parlor with panoramic views (via floor-to-ceiling windows) of the Turnagain Arm, mountains, and glaciers. The master bedroom features a marble bathroom with oversize tub and separate shower. Fresh flowers, original artwork, and cherry wood accent the room.

The best part about The Hotel Alyeska-at least for a local-is its incredible fitness center. When the hotel was initially built, some in Girdwood grimaced at the intrusion. Those same folks now smile while sitting in the huge saltwater hot tub. It's a wonderful place to relax after, say, dog mushing on a glacier. Bay windows let you soak up a view of the pond and north face of Mt. Alyeska as well. The 16-person hot tub sits at the end of a heated 25x45-foot lap pool, with a vaulted wood-beam ceiling.
