About
Hotel Captain Cook is Anchorage's most storied hotel — a three-tower complex that has served as the city's center of gravity since 1965, hosting every president who has visited Alaska and serving as the base camp for the majority of Alaska wilderness expeditions that originate in Anchorage. The hotel's athletic club includes a sauna and steam facility overlooking Cook Inlet and the Alaska Range beyond, with Denali visible from the upper floors on clear days. Anchorage serves as the departure point for the vast majority of Alaska's fly-in wilderness lodges — Tutka Bay, Winterlake, Sheldon Chalet, Ultima Thule — making the Captain Cook the practical pre-adventure sauna experience before and after wilderness immersion.
