"An ideal downtown location, recently remodeled rooms and a bright and elegant interior make this gay-friendly inn one of the best top-end places in Anchorage." Full review
Fodor's "This location offers the best of both worlds: it's walkable to everything worth seeing in Downtown, but it's on the quiet end of Fifth Avenue, right next to a small park and the 11-mile Coastal Trail." Full review
Frommer's "The inn is essentially a small, boutique hotel with rooms in two buildings separated by a water garden. Close to all the downtown attractions, the inn is just a block away from the coastal trail" Full review

Concierge "The rooms are pleasant, if a little corporate in style, and quite a bargain for downtown, especially since the hotel is within walking distance of nearly all of Anchorage's main attractions."
Fodor's "Recalling Captain Cook's voyages to Alaska and the South Pacific, dark teak paneling lines the hotel's interior, and a nautical theme continues into the guest rooms." Full review
Insight Guides "Among Anchorage’s finest, all 547 rooms offer either mountain or inlet views. Restaurants, lounges, a coffee shop all on site, and an athletic club with pool, sauna, and steam room."
Travel + Leisure "The hotel is a wonderful relic of Alaska's pipeline-boom of the 1970’s." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of Anchorage’s oldest and classiest hotels, this yellow high-rise landmark in downtown boasts a dozen shops."
Star Service "This property occupies three towers. With superior service, amenities and atmosphere, it remains one of the city's finest (and largest) hotels." Full review
Forbes Travel Guide Recommended
"Built just after the devastating earthquake of 1964, the hotel rises like a phoenix out and over the amazing Alaskan landscape,." Full review
Gayot "This historic downtown hotel features beautiful views of Cook Inlet and the Chugash Mountains."
