“Favorite place to stay in Anchorage”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2012 NEW

I like this hotel for a number of reasons. It is certainly very convenient to just about anything. It is different than the typical hotel and has a local history that is more interesting. For only $25 more you can often upgrade to a suite and the suites are very nice. I've always had one on a corner that gives... More

“Great views”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2012

Views from there are gorgeous. Also visited the Whale Tales lounge. Very nice. Front desk service was great and very accomodating. Also had a massage at... More

“They're happy to see you. Really.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2012

This is such a lovely place to stay. The hotel itself is beautiful and feels a bit like stepping into a time machine. All the modern conveniences (and then some), but done up in the grand old style. Rooms are very comfortable, clean as a whistle, and have everything you might need. The Crow's Nest is a lovely place for... More

The Hotel Captain Cook is a first class hotel. Thier staff defines customer service and their food quality and service at the Crow's Nest exceeds it.
