Like most great holiday destinations, Alaska’s accommodations offer every kind of experience you as a visitor may require. Lay your head in a tent, a bunk, a fishing boat, a wilderness reserve, a retired railway carriage or deep within the Arctic Circle.
Accommodation in Alaska is all about old-fashioned hospitality, whether you’re staying at an exclusive city hotel or a remote log cabin. Whatever style you want for your holiday, you’ll be able to find something suited to your needs with our tips for finding your perfect Alaska accommodations.
1. Looking for something that’s kind to the environment? Many Alaskan establishments take the preservation of their beloved state very seriously and aren’t backward in letting visitors know about their environmental efforts. Read up before you depart on places which use wind and hydro power, recycle rubbish and food waste, and have eliminated the use of fossil fuels.
2. If you want to get away from it all, consider flying in to an Alaskan bush lodge. Inaccessible by road, these places are the epitome of seclusion.
3. If fishing’s not your thing, you still shouldn’t have any problem finding quality riverside accommodation offering wildlife watching and other activities to fill your days. Or simply read a book and soak in your gorgeous surroundings.
4. If it’s privacy you’re after, consider booking one of the many romance or honeymoon suites available throughout the state – even if you’re not just married! Drink champagne in the bathtub or witness the magical Aurora Borealis through a skylight.
5. Taking time out from the rat race is a pursuit to be taken seriously, so opt for accommodation where e-mail, faxes and cellphone coverage don’t exist.
6. Not big on eating fish and game? No problem. Lots of Alaska accommodations provides gourmet meals without eating the spoils of the day’s hunting and fishing, and even the fussiest of dietary requirements can normally be catered for.
Privacy is taken seriously in this part of the world, and it is possible to stay in the homey atmosphere of a bed and breakfast or lodge without feeling the need to socialize – simply book a room which has doors to both the communal and outdoor areas.
