SCOUT LOVES

  • True ski-in ski-out convenience to the Alyeska Resort slopes.
  • Stunning mountain and glacier views from nearly every room.
  • The iconic Alyeska Aerial Tram right on-site.
  • Excellent on-property dining, including the mountaintop Seven Glaciers Restaurant.
  • Indoor saltwater pool and hot tub with panoramic mountain views.

SCOUT TIPS

  • The resort’s atmosphere is lively on weekends but quieter midweek.
  • Book early for slope-view rooms—they go fast in peak season.
  • Dining options are limited late at night—plan ahead after après-ski.
  • Expect resort pricing for food and services.
  • The tram ride is a must, even for non-skiers, for the views alone.

SCOUT REVIEW

The Hotel Alyeska is Alaska’s premier ski resort hotel and the heart of Alyeska Resort, set among towering peaks, old-growth forests, and the dramatic Turnagain Arm coastline. Blending upscale comfort with rugged mountain charm, this grand lodge offers a warm welcome after a day on the slopes or exploring the backcountry.

The lobby sets the tone with its soaring ceilings, stone fireplaces, and large windows framing snow-covered spruce trees. Rooms range from cozy doubles to spacious suites, many featuring updated mountain-modern décor and views of either the slopes or the surrounding glaciers. The resort’s amenities are impressive: a large saltwater pool and hot tub with mountain vistas, a fitness center, a Nordic spa, and several dining options that highlight Alaskan flavors and fresh seafood.

Skiers and snowboarders love The Hotel Alyeska for its unbeatable convenience. The hotel sits right at the base of the mountain, with direct ski-in ski-out access to the Alyeska Resort lifts. You can literally step out, click in, and be on the slopes within minutes. With over 1,600 acres of skiable terrain and Alaska’s longest continuous double black diamond run, this resort caters to everyone from beginners to expert powder hounds.

Off the slopes, the Alyeska Aerial Tram—departing just outside the lobby—offers spectacular views of Turnagain Arm and the Chugach Mountains. Après-ski can be as relaxed or refined as you like, from enjoying a drink at the Aurora Bar to dining at the award-winning Seven Glaciers Restaurant perched atop the mountain.

WHO SHOULD STAY HERE

Ideal for couples and adventurous travelers seeking a mix of luxury and authentic Alaskan wilderness. Also great for ski enthusiasts who want easy slope access and a full resort experience.

The Hotel Alyeska is located in Girdwood, about 40 miles southeast of Anchorage, making it easily accessible yet completely immersed in nature. It’s positioned right at the base of Alyeska Resort’s ski slopes with direct lift access, and the tram station is adjacent to the hotel. A complimentary shuttle connects guests to Girdwood’s small village area, local restaurants, and the train station, while Anchorage International Airport is roughly a one-hour drive away.

About Alyeska

Providing the perfect place to warm up your ski legs before heading over to the Chugach Mountains, Alyeska Resort in Alaska is steep, deep and incredibly scenic. Remaining low key and without all the major frills of a big ski resort, Alyeska boasts a laid-back and super friendly vibe with a wide range of terrain to explore. The small town of Girdwood is also the main gateway to bucket-list worthy heli-ski.
