Are you looking for suggestions for hotels in Anchorage and where to stay in Anchorage, Alaska? Then you’ve come to the right place!

I recently took a trip to several cities in Alaska and I have several suggestions to share with you!

Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska and has a unique combination of natural landscapes, wildlife and a rich history.

I loved taking a seaplane to Lake Clark to see wild bears, but also visiting the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Centre and Alaska Native Heritage Centre which are located in Anchorage.

Therefore, and considering that there are many tourist attractions to explore, choosing a good hotel with an excellent location is essential.

In fact, in Anchorage you’ll find luxury hotels, more affordable options and mid-range hotels with excellent value for money.

So let’s explore the best hotel options in the city, shall we?

✔️Passaporte in your pocket: tried and tested: If you don’t have time to read the full article, then know that I stayed at the Four Points by Sheraton Anchorage Downtown (3 stars) and I recommend it! If you want a more comfortable option, I spent a day with friends at The Hotel Captain Cook (4 stars) and realised that it’s also an excellent choice.

Budget hotels in Anchorage

The concept of cheap or economical is a little different in the United States, as accommodation is generally more expensive than in most European cities.

Add to this the remote location of Alaska, which means that everything is more expensive.

Even so, it is possible to find some slightly more economical accommodation.

So if you’re looking for a budget option, the Econo Inn is a reasonable choice. Located in the centre of Anchorage, it offers affordable prices and a convenient location for exploring the city.

The Puffin Inn (2 stars) is another affordable option that offers simple comfort and good amenities at competitive prices.

If you don’t mind being a little further away, the Wingate by Wyndham Anchorage Downtown – Ship Creek (2 stars) is a well-located option with affordable rates and easy access to the main tourist attractions.

To enjoy Anchorage’s main sights, I recommend a stay of 3 to 4 days. If you plan to explore Alaska in more depth, you can extend your stay to visit the surrounding areas, such as Denali National Park.
