Business travelers pack this modern hotel thanks to its well-designed lobby, comfortable accommodations, and proximity to the airport. Some rooms have a whirlpool bath and king-size bed, and all have a coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator, and tap-to-enter keycards, for that extra dash of convenience. The bistro serves breakfast and dinner, and there's an indoor pool and, of course, a courtyard.
Midway between the airport and Downtown, the Hampton has all the standard features of a good hotel, and a few that are better than average, such as designer furnishings, an indoor swimming pool, and a whirlpool. All rooms have exceptionally comfortable, supportive mattresses. There is an on-demand airport shuttle and business center too.
Perched on the shore of Lake Spenard, this Anchorage favorite is one of the city's best spots to watch planes come and go from the hotel's private floatplane dock. The lobby resembles a hunting lodge with its stone fireplace, trophy heads, and mounted fish on every wall. The luxurious guest rooms continue the inviting Alaska theme. The Flying Machine Restaurant—one of two on-site dining options—frequently offers live music on the lakefront patio in the evening.
