Nestled in downtown Anchorage, the historic Hotel Captain Cook offers polished rooms with stunning views, a range of dining options, and a luxurious vibe that defines the city's charm.
"The Hotel Captain Cook is one of the few tall buildings in the city. The highest of its three towers is 18 stories, and from its upper-level rooms and Crow’s Nest restaurant, the views of the mountains and sea are memorable. Billed as the only luxury hotel in Anchorage, its 546 guest rooms have hosted nearly every celebrity and dignitary who has passed through Alaska, ranging from Sir Elton John to President Barack Obama." - Bailey Berg
"Hotel Captain Cook is a luxurious 546-room hotel in Anchorage known for its attentive concierge, excellent athletic club, and dining options, including the Crow’s Nest restaurant with 360-degree views. It is a member of the Historic Hotels of America." - Bailey Berg
"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
"In 1964, a 9.2-magnitude earthquake—the second most powerful ever recorded—ripped through the south coast of Alaska, devastating much of downtown Anchorage. After surveying the damage, real-estate developer Walter J. Hickel, who would later go on to serve two terms as the state’s governor, vowed to build Alaska’s biggest and best hotel. The result, a massive 546-room complex spread out over three towers, is still the city’s most luxurious, known for its attentive concierge, excellent athletic club, and wealth of dining options. The elegant Crow’s Nest restaurant offers dishes that incorporate French technique with regional ingredients, like king crab–studded bouillabaisse, along with a 10,000-bottle wine collection; on a clear day, 360-degree views include the iconic peaks of Denali. One more reason to visit: The property was inducted as a member of the Historic Hotels of America in 2016."
