Places to Stay

Whether you’re looking for a simple spot for good night’s sleep before embarking on a big backcountry adventure or you'd like to lounge in luxury for a week at a wilderness lodge, the options for lodging in Alaska are plentiful. You will find accommodations ranging from affordable hostels and motels for travelers on a budget to high-end hotels with all the amenities, to all-inclusive wilderness lodges and resorts for those looking for a bit of luxury in the backcountry. Most travelers will find an assortment of nationally and locally-owned hotels to choose from in any major destination they visit, many of which allow guests to drop off luggage before checking in - especially convenient when disembarking a cruise ship so you can explore town.

Cabins are an iconic place to stay in Alaska, ranging from rustic cabins in quiet backcountry locations to luxurious and comfortable all-inclusive cabins. Stay at one of Alaska’s charming bed & breakfasts and get to know authentic Alaska from the perspective of friendly locals. For those traveling by car or motorhome, Alaska’s roads and highways are a great way to explore the state, and many campgrounds and RV parks are conveniently located along the way. Be sure to check a travel guide, such as the Milepost, as some of Alaska’s highways have fewer amenities than others.
