The Ketch Inn

Set on the water, this rustic, iconic Ketchikan hotel was recently remodeled and is ideal for independent travelers who want to be close enough to town to enjoy it.

The bright, cheery rooms feature two twin beds or one double, and views of the ocean or garden. Sit back and take in the classic Alaskan landscape of mountains and water, as boats motor in and out of the harbor and floatplanes take off and land.

The inn’s restaurant combines a fun Alaska dive bar experience with great bar bites, local beers on tap, and oceanfront views of the Tongass Narrows.

Plus, you can add a fishing lodge experience by booking an exclusive fishing package through the Ketch’s sister lodge, Salmon Falls Resort.
