Anchorage-area hotels, B&Bs, hostels, lodges and resorts
Southcentral has a wide range of accommodations
Alaska.com
Southcentral Alaska's accommodations run the gamut from B&Bs to the medium- and high-dollar hotels in downtown Anchorage and in Girdwood. Thrown into the mix are hostels and fishing lodges.
There are locally owned hotels and motels throughout the region, as well as chains: Best Western, Clarion Suites, Comfort Inn, Days Inn, Econo Lodge, Hampton Inn, Hilton, Holiday Inn, Marriott, Millennium, Ramada, Sheraton, Westin and Westmark.
In the past decade, quite a few motels and B&Bs have sprung up along the region's highways.
And keep in mind Southcentral's resorts, where relaxation and such activities as hiking, kayaking or snowmachining may be a big part of the day.
Anchorage
Hotels and motels are concentrated both downtown Anchorage and near Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport.
Among the many hotels in and near downtown are the Anchorage Hotel, the Hotel Captain Cook and lodgings operated by Comfort Inn, Hilton, Holiday Inn, Sheraton and Westmark.
The second neighborhood of hotels is in the Spenard district southeast of downtown near Anchorage International Airport. These include the ritzy Millennium on Lake Spenard (part of the Lake Hood floatplane base) and the nearby Holiday Inn Express. In addition, there are motels and hotels sprinkled around Midtown, South Anchorage and East Anchorage.
Bed and breakfast operations are spread throughout Anchorage and its bedroom communities.
Anchorage has several hostels, which offer varying levels of amenities and cater to budget travelers.
Resorts may be a little more remote than many hotels, and they offer an experience that is oriented more toward the outdoors.
