Where to Stay in Alaska on a Winter Trip
Many hotels and lodges are seasonal in Alaska, only open for the short summer when most visitors travel. Even still, there are plenty of year-round properties that provide comfy accommodations in the wintertime.
In Fairbanks, Springhill Suites sits conveniently in downtown. Many local tour operators will pick up at the hotel, making a nice base camp for aurora tours and other guided excursions. Anchorage's Lakefront hotel sits on Lake Hood. This seaplane base turns into a ski plane base in the winter, with bush planes coming and going even during shorter winter days.
Perched on a bluff with superb views of Denali, in the winter the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge is a cozy getaway between Denali Park and Anchorage.
Continuing south to Seward, home to late winter whale watching, the top-rated Harbor 360 is centrally located at the Small Boat Harbor. Mountain view rooms are particularly nice in the winter, providing a nice look at snowy Mt. Marathon.
