Anchorage breaks the mold when it comes to hosting meetings in Alaska. It has never been easier to innovate your next meeting with Anchorage amenities thanks to new construction, renovations, and the sustained success of the city’s existing infrastructure.
Soon the city will have even more hotel space as the former Aviator Hotel is being transformed into a luxury boutique hotel through renovations. The high-end property will have 250 rooms and while the hotel has not announced a name, it is anticipated to bring a new brand to Anchorage. The hotel will feature two outdoor decks with views of Denali, art rotating every month, a brewery, and three conference rooms. A group of 25 Alaska investors spent over $40 million to renovate the space and say 60 rooms will be available in November with the rest of the building opening in June of 2024.
Newly remodeled room at the former Aviator Hotel features local artwork and views of the Alaska Range. The property will open in late 2023 with a new name.
