Fodor's Review:

Lush forests surround this large and luxurious hotel at the base of Alyeska Ski Resort, in Girdwood, an hour south of Anchorage. Some rooms have views of the Chugach Mountains. Rooms are on the small side, but all have heated towel racks, ski-boot storage lockers, bathrobes, and slippers, plus phones in both the bathrooms and bedrooms. Guests relax in front of the big lobby fireplace, with tall windows facing the mountains. The large heated saltwater pool is a major attraction for families, and the hot tub is a hit after a day on the slopes. Dining choices include a family-style restaurant and a gourmet Japanese grill, Teppanyaki Katsura ($$$$). A spectacular aerial tram (free if you have dinner reservations) transports diners to the Seven Glaciers Restaurant at the 2,300-foot level on the mountain.
