Description:
Alyeska Prince Hotel and Resort are Alaska's only AAA four diamond accommodations. Located just 40 miles south of the Anchorage Airport along the scenic Seward Highway. The Alyeska Prince Hotel is a Chateau style property located on Mount Alyeska's ski slopes with ski in/ski out accessibility. The 60 person aerial tram departs directly from the skier's concourse, which is attached to the property and travels 2,300 feet to the Glacier Express facility atop Mount Alyeska. With over 68 world class ski runs, non-existent lift lines and spectacular views of the ocean, it is easy to see why Mount Alyeska is such a renowned Alaskan destination. The interior of the hotel is warm and inviting, boasting over one million board feet of cherry wood panelling throughout. There are immense stone fireplaces, leather couches and woolen carpets. The floor to ceiling windows of the fireside lobby and grand staircase offer unobstructed views of the North Face of Mount Alyeska. Open beams and cathedral ceilings accent our swimming pool and fitness center. Relax and enjoy!
