Alyeska Resort

About this stay

Alyeska Resort stands alone among Anchorage-area hotels for combining an aerial tram, full spa, indoor pool, hot tub and mountaintop dining into a single property, a genuine ski-resort experience rather than a city hotel dressed up with extra amenities for marketing purposes only. The tram lifts guests above the tree line to Forte, a five-minute walk from the base for anyone not riding up, and the Roundhouse at Alyeska Museum sits a minute away on foot from the lodge itself. The roughly hour-long transfer from Ted Stevens International is the longest of any hotel on this list, a trade-off guests make deliberately for the full resort experience in Girdwood rather than a downtown Anchorage stay with fewer amenities on offer overall.
