The Lakefront Anchorage
Floatplane views and a private dock on Lake Hood
Anchorage
About this stay
The Lakefront Anchorage trades a downtown address for a direct view of Lake Hood's constant floatplane traffic, a genuinely unusual setting among Anchorage's hotels. The property's own dock puts guests steps from the water, and lake-view rooms turn plane spotting into an accidental hobby during the stay, especially through the long daylight hours of an Alaska summer. Two restaurants cover breakfast through dinner without much need to head out, and the fitness center rounds out the property for longer visits. The eight-minute public transport ride or fifteen-minute taxi to Ted Stevens International makes this one of the most airport-convenient hotels in the city, useful for early departures or late arrivals. Full-service laundry and airport shuttle service add practical value for business travelers extending a trip through Anchorage.

Our take
The Lakefront Anchorage sits directly on Lake Hood, the world's busiest floatplane base, with its own dock, so takeoffs and landings are the view from the shore and many windows. It is also one of the most practical airport hotels in the city: about fifteen minutes by taxi from Ted Stevens International, with an airport shuttle, free parking and free Wi-Fi. Two restaurants and a fitness centre are on site. Its 7.8 rating from more than 3,300 guests is fair.
- Request a lake-view room specifically when booking, the floatplane activity is the property's clearest draw over a standard city hotel.
- Use the airport shuttle rather than a taxi if your flight timing is flexible, it's built into the property's routine.
- Eat at least one meal at ADRIANY'S BITES, a five-minute walk away, for something beyond the hotel's two restaurants.
Why we love it
- A private dock on Lake Hood itself
- Floatplane views from lake-facing rooms
- Eight minutes by public transport to the airport
- Two restaurants covering most meals on-site
Why guests love itFor families, The Lakefront Anchorage turns an airport night into part of the trip. The hotel sits right on Lake Hood, where floatplanes take off and land through the day, and children can watch the traffic from the shore near the hotel's own dock. Two restaurants mean dinner is easy after a flight, parking and Wi-Fi are free, and the airport shuttle makes early departures simple. Ted Stevens International is about fifteen minutes away by taxi.
