Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Captain Cook

939 W. 5th Ave., Anchorage, Alaska, 99501, USA Fodor's Choice

Recalling Captain Cook's voyages to Alaska and the South Pacific, dark teak paneling lines the hotel's interior, and a nautical theme continues into the guest rooms. All rooms have air-conditioning, and guests can use the separate men's and women's athletic clubs with shared indoor heated pool. The hotel occupies an entire city block with three towers, the tallest of which is capped by the Crow's Nest Restaurant, one of three eateries on-site. The most luxurious accommodation is found on the 19th floor of Tower III—a sprawling, 1,600-square-foot two-bedroom suite, which costs a mere $1,000 per night and come with perks galore.
