    Without a doubt - The Cook is the finest hotel in Anchorage. 500+ rooms in three towers with all the ammenities. The higher a floor you can get the better the view and the less street noise.
    The common areas are decorated in muted elegance with dark hardwoods and Captain Cook memoribilia.
    With 4 restaurants and two bars, you never have to leave the hotel. My favorite spot is Fletchers. Not quite the same since long time bartender and Iditarod musher Bob Ernisse passed away, but still a warm friendly place with great food and a vast liquor and beer selection. Dirk is working most weeknights - be sure to deride the Vikings in his presence ;).

    The only problem I see is that they know they are the best and the prices they charge in the summer are as stunning as the Hotel. You go from around $105/night in the winter to over $200 during tourist season. And yet the summer is when they are overrun with cruise ship passengers, who all get up at 5 AM excited to start their day. (I know you're happy to be starting your cruise Edith, but do you have to yell down the hall to Margaret at 5 in the morning!!!!)

    Other issue in the summer is the lack of air conditioning. With global warming summers are actually getting hot some days in Anchorage. All rooms have fans so usually and open window and the fan will take care of the heat.

    During a recent stay (Jan 09) found they had remodeled all the rooms in Tower Two. Flat screen TVs and tastefullly decorated. Good job Wally! Hotel guests used to be able to use the gym at any hour but now the hours to use for free are restricted to early morning and later in the evening.

    Great everything - pool, gym, restaurants, bars, rooms.
    Gym is large with many treadmills, elipitcal machines, bikes, free weights, nautilus, tanning beds, massages, whirl pool, sauna, and pool. Except for the pool, men have seperate facilities from women which I like. Don't have to keep the belly sucked in all the time.

    At the top of tower 3 is the Crow's Nest. A wonderful restaurant/bar with fantastic views. The new chef there is doing wonders with the food.

    The Captain Cook has three towers, and can offer great views, or views of the other towers. It is best to upgrade to a suite, or better still to get one on the secured 17th floor. $15.25 for a taxi from the airport, you will be greeted by a doorman and your luggage will be handled for you. When you check in, the turn down service includes ice in your bucket and bottled water. The room offers great fluffy towels, french milled soap, and big soft robes. If travelling with a family or group, two suites can be booked with one entry.

    This picture is from February 2003, and features my foot (haha) Darn those self-timers, can't see what you are shooting.

    • My boss and I were driving were taking a cab from the airport to the hotel where the conference was booked. Neither of us had heard of the Hotel Captain Cook before (that was before I became a VT member!) but it sounded a little rustic. Adventurous log cabins came to mind. We asked the cab driver what the hotel was like and he assured us that it was "a nice little hotel." Well, that was an understatement. We arrived at the 547 room, two-tower, AAA four-star hotel and were ushered to our luxuriously appointed rooms by the uniformed bellmen. As I found out the next morning, my room was on a corner and had an amazing view of the Cook Inlet on one side and an equally amazing view of the mountain range on the other.

    The Crow's Nest Restaurant was excellent, as I describe more fully in a restaurant tip.

    The guest rooms were terrific, with big comfy robes, hairdryers, heavy teak furniture and big windows to enjoy the views.

    The conference rooms were also very comfortable.

    There was a pool, jacuzzi and exercise facility in the basement of the hotel too.

    Found out about the Captain Cook when living in the "Bush". Its right downtown, within walking distance of lots of things to do. The Captain Cook has one of the best restaurants in town as well as wonderful fitness accomodations including: a pool, hot tubs, nautilus, free weights, dry sauna, steam room, tanning, and more. The rooms are very nice, many having wonderful views of Cook Inlet, and downtown Anchorage. The rooms have computer access, turndown service, excellent room service, and big comfortable beds. When you compare how much you have to pay to stay at other hotels then add the extra expense and discomfort of driving, and parking when you go downtown it makes sense to stay at the Captain Cook when you go to Anchorage.

    • A view that can't be beat. The food is excellent, the service is what you pray for when you arrive in a new city, the accomodations are above average and the beds are firm, but not so that you wake up with a backache. The Anchorage Westward and the Sheffield were very good; but my choice is the Captain Cooke.

    Not the most modern hotel in town, but if you like old fashioned, semi elegant accomodations, and typical decoration, this is the one.
