This is a beautiful resort. Our room had a great view of the tram and the mountain. We enjoyed time in the pool and large hot tub. We enjoyed time hiking around the lovely hotel grounds. The only negative was that the price of the tram ride was $36 each just to get to the lodge at the top which offered a bar and restaurant but because there was snow on the ground they weren't allowing you to hike around up there at all. We felt the price was very high just for the self serving reason of visiting their own restaurant and so we did not utilize it.

An elegant, comfortable, quiet, and charming stay in Anchorage. For those who don’t need to be downtown, I recommend this stay.
