From luxurious hotels in downtown Anchorage to rustic fishing lodges far from the nearest road, Alaska has accommodations to fit vacationers' plans. The hotels and motels in larger cities include many nationally known chains, such as Marriott, Holiday Inn, Ramada, Westmark, Best Western and Comfort. Locally owned hotels such as the Hotel Captain Cook in Anchorage offer top-flight service, and there are many smaller hotels and motels in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau and other destinations. Lodges in wilderness -- or even just outside of town -- put vacationers right in the middle of the wildlife. Many lodges, especially around Denali National Park and Talkeetna but also near such Kenai Peninsula locations as Seward and Homer offer excursions to discover more about flora and fauna. Hostels are found in many cities and towns along the Alaska Highway Systems and the Inside Passage.
