    The hotel honestly looks like its from The Shining lol. But in all honesty, you're paying for this place for it's isolation. The hotel itself, and the rooms, are a bit run down and begging for a renovation. Even the parking lot had numerous large pot hotels that made the drive a bit treacherous. Overall, I enjoyed my 3-night stay but wouldn't say it was anything special. The customer service counter was slow and the conference room was overly-heated.

    Absolutely loved this resort! Held a work meeting here and the staff was fantastic from start to finish with accommodations, activity booking, food & bev and more! Highly recommend upgrading to the diamond level floor. Not only does it include a dedicated team of a superb customer service, but also a private lounge with continually stocked goodies, a special breakfast buffet, and the views are breathtaking. Loved how convenient it was to have on the shuttle from the hotel to go into town.

    We stayed here for one night on our way to Denali. What a beautiful resort with nice grounds. While we were not here for skiing, we enjoyed our stay. They do have a cool tram that you can take to the top of the mountain, and there is a nice restaurant to enjoy. If you are coming, book this restaurant in advance ( we did not and could not get a table for dinner). A dinner reservation also means you do not have to pay for the tram fare. So while we could not stay for dinner, we enjoyed cocktails at the top of the mountain. Rooms were spacious, clean and well kept. Staff was very nice. We would return here if we make it back to this part of Alaska

    Sad to see a dirty shower in the morning especially at a high end resort with a hefty overnight charge. They gave me 15% off for having a dirty room. Yuck!

    The Alyeska Nordic Spa is very relaxing and appreciate the many amenities throughout our stay 30 March 2026. The only downside to the whole experience is the lack of Vegan friendly options at the Bistro spa restaurant. The only viable option for us was the hummus veggie tray $24 which looked like someone chopped up some vegetables and threw them on a tray. They did have a spa bowl $35 where you pick between a salmon protein or tofu. All the sauces available with the salmon are not offered (Animal products) for the Vegan option so basically you're left with a bowl of rice with no sauces. Some of our friends who eat meat have also been disappointed with the lackluster offerings and have started bringing their own food to eat in the locker room. We've traveled the world and experienced many Vegan fine dining/bistro experiences that were exquisitely prepared. It seems the Bistro spa is more of an after thought or doesn't garner as much support which stymies the chefs and kitchen staffs creativity. If the spa bistro can elevate the culinary experience with their guests this will become a draw for diners with exceptional tastes. Below are a few menu suggestions that will hopefully invigorate future creativity. https://www.loveandlemons.com/vegan-recipes/ https://www.noracooks.com/ Sincerely, Doug and Edith McKee

    Omg what a lovely thing to experience. The spa has saunas and cold plunges. I can't imagine what this place looks like during the winter. The forest saunas were so beautiful and relaxing. Even in the dead of summer the spas were amazing. Highly recommend visiting!

    The Club Lounge in the 8th floor was fabulous!

    Alyeska Resort near Anchorage - a True Alaskan Gem ! Alyeska Resort is pure decadence, nestled amongst the most beautiful towering pine trees and breathtaking mountains. From the moment I arrived, the warm and inviting ambiance made me feel completely at home. The resort offers an impressive array of amenities - selection of restaurants, helpful concierge, fitness center, indoor pool and hot tub, a luxurious spa for ultimate relaxation, and endless outdoor activities like skiing (and a gondola and chairlift are right outside the back entrance!), hiking, and scenic tram rides to showcase Alaska's natural beauty. The highlight of my stay in addition to the skiing and spa, was the Club Lounge on the 8th floor for guests staying on that level. It's such a treat - delicious food and drinks served twice a day, plus snacks available all day and evening. It truly elevated the experience plus I met such nice and interesting people! I would love to return to this gem of a resort!

    This was a very disappointing mountain and resort for our entire group who loves Tahoe, Jackson Hole, and Colorado skiing. For $1,000 a night it is not worth the expense and will let you down. The ski in and ski out was great but not worth the added expense. If you want to come choose Airbnb closer to the Day Lodge for easy lift access. Let's start with the good: Most of the staff were friendly and accommodating, it is a beautiful location (Alaska is beautiful and a must experience!), there was plenty to do other than skiing in the surrounding town and a few decent (not great) restaurants on premise. Anchorage was only 45 minutes away which opens up even more options and makes for a short drive to the airport unless the weather is really bad. The highway to the resort is kept very well maintained. Even though a lot of the mountain runs were black and double black most of the runs could be done by intermediate skiers and the advanced ski instructors were interacted with were very good. The bad: 1. I was pretty disappointed with the customer service when it came to our reservations. We booked our late February trip for 6 nights back in November of last year and as told we could comfortably fit 4 people with 2 beds and a rollaway. Then we say a Black Friday special for 40% off and cancelled our original reservation and book with the special. When we called the week prior to make sure there would be a rollaway in the room when we arrived because it would not be until 1 am. When we called we were told that our original reservation would have accommodated that but the special was a renovated room that could only fit 2 doubles but there was no room for a pull away bed. In order to accommodate us we had to pay an additional $1,500 because we had to upgrade to a suite to get a pullout because the other types of rooms were sold out. They would not honor the original rate or the special. To make matters worse, the quote we received by email was $2,000 more before the large tax and resort fees were added. I have worked in customer service most of my life and this is just bad customer service. 2. This is out of their control so I am leaving this out of my rating but be aware that the conditions were not worth the trip. We got snow throughout but since December the weather has been above freezing and the only half way decent conditions were at the peak or if you go heli-skiing (which we could only get 1/4 day on the first try and 1/2 day on the second out of 5 ski days because of the ongoing weather). When speaking with the locals I was informed that due to the where the mountain was and the elevation the skiing was very similar to East Coast skiing. We expected great snow because this Alaska and further North and West than California. Nope! Expect sticky packed snow that melts during the day and freezes towards the middle and upper mountain at night. The snow was so wet and the light so flat that between the sun and slush sticking to my lenses I could not see a thing half the time. The night skiing was fun and I could actually see. The mountain is one the smallest I have been to. The map makes it look huge but it is deceivingly small. 3. You have to rent a car or take a shuttle to get around the town. Ubers were non-existent. It cost us $250 to get 5 people with ski bags and luggage from the airport to resport. If you get in earlier than we did you could possibly find a cheaper option, but this is who the hotel recommended. Global warming is really unfortunate for those of us who love to ski. This far north they have been more impacted than other areas surprisingly. You could get lucky, but the last really good snow storm was in November according to locals. Even when there is now the East Coast like conditions are not great and for the large price tag of a room and poor customer service you would be better off skiing elsewhere for a big trip.

    Connor at check in was wonderful! Friendly, efficient, helpful. He offered a borealis wake up call. I had no idea that was even an option! He got me a lovely room with a beautiful view. Your rooms are incredible. And clean. So many lighting options. I used the spa for the outdoor hot pools and sauna and steam rooms. Expensive but worth it! What a magical night. My only complaint was my fault. I ordered some meatballs from room service and got upsold foccacia. It was not up to par with the rest of your hotel. The meatballs were very good however.

    Apple strudel
    Tina O.

    We were so excited to go to Oktoberfest. The food was awful. See pix of the Apple strudel. It looked like something bought from Costco and cost $9.50. It didn't have hardly any apples. The vanilla sauce tasted and had the texture of melted soft serve ice cream. The pretzel was the same thing - looked frozen from Costco. It was served with canned sauce. I don't remember how much it was. When McDonald's apple pies are better, there's a problem. For the 45 minutes we were there, the music was from a boom box. Huge waste of time and money. Also really disappointing considering that Alyeska has fantastic restaurants. Please bring back Java Hut and/or make this a community event like Forest Fair. As it is, don't bother next year. This was a straight up money grab.

    Renovations are superb. Staff is excellent. The grounds are idyllic. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very serene.

    Great resort. Beautiful views right outside and hiking and biking trails right outside the hotel. Rooms are a little dated. The fitness center is top notch and very clean. Big pool and hot tub. Restaurants are available right in the hotel. Sakura was our favorite. Definitely would stay again!

    Russian Jack Springs Park - Moose siting

    Russian Jack Springs Park

    3.8(6 reviews)

    At first I thought this park wasn't even listed on Yelp. Which is insane, it's MASSIVE. Then I…read morerealized it was listed simply as "Russian Jack Springs", which makes it sound like a quaint Canadian hot springs in the mountains...(I've since submitted an edit, it should show up with "park" in the title now) It's not that. It is a shockingly great park. It's in an area of town where you wouldn't expect to find a park, and it's quite massive. It's got green houses you can tour, a hill for sledding, trails for hiking/running, and even a GOLF COURSE and CLUBHOUSE. Is it a bougie golf course and clubhouse? Of course not. But it's cheap and solid. Golf for the people! I got some BBQ from Smokehouse which is less than a mile away, ate in the park, then went for a short walk on the trails to burn off that brisket, and I was still back to work in time. Don't take Anchorage living for granted! I hope to come back in the winter to get on that sledding hill!

    Is there an Alaskan Snow Snake? (see pic)…read more After the fresh snow, there are so many cool things to gander upon. And even though there is a fresh powder, the tracks are still visible and ready to be skied. I can only speak on the cross country ski trails here, but I've been super impressed with them. There is also a sledding hill, skate skiing area and a lodge style building that I've never seen open. I understand there are also community greenhouses on the property that you can check out. After three trips here and over two hours spent, I have yet to see the entire park. So much to explore, great for beginners, and well lit. For being so close to a major road, I'm amazed at how quiet and serene this place is. There's a private parking lot, off Lidia Selkregg Lane. I've never had a problem finding a spot. I think parking is free because I didn't see any fee stations.
