The Best Alaska Hotels, From Urban Anchorage Stays to Luxe Denali Retreats

"Built by Wally Hickel, a wildcard businessman and politician, this hotel has been around since 1965. Despite its age, it hasn't lost its luster. It's often billed as Anchorage's only luxury property and even if you don't stay the night, it's worth visiting the Crow's Nest Restaurant. Found atop the hotel's highest tower, the AAA four-diamond French/New American restaurant is known for 360-degree views of the inlet and mountains that wreath Anchorage, impeccable service, and a wine list that's 10,000 bottles deep." - Bailey Berg
