The Lakefront Anchorage - A Wilderness Lodge on Lake Hood with Float Plane Access and Mountain Views

Situated on Lake Spenard's shore beside Lake Hood, this 3-star Anchorage hotel operates its own float plane dock for daily flightseeing and fishing expeditions. The 248-room property features dark hardwood furnishings and HDTVs in all rooms, plus three distinct dining venues including The Flying Machine Restaurant, The Fancy Moose Lounge, and The Deck at Lake Hood. The fitness center is equipped with four treadmills, free weights, and a universal strength-training machine. A Coffee Cove espresso bar in the lobby serves to-go treats. The property hosts the world-famous Iditarod race each March and offers meeting spaces with views of the seaplane base. Located 3 miles from Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, The Lakefront Anchorage provides complimentary airport shuttles year-round and downtown shuttles from May through September.

Pros

Private float plane dock provides direct access to Lake Hood, the world's largest seaplane base

Direct views of over 250 daily plane landings with Chugach Mountains backdrop

Signature Alaskan cuisine including bison burgers and king crab legs

Year-round complimentary airport transfers and seasonal downtown shuttles

Cons

Premium Wi-Fi incurs additional charges of $9.95 per day

Pet stays require a $100 occupancy fee plus $250 cleaning fee

“This hotel's lakeside setting is a genuine draw, and being next to the world's busiest seaplane base is undeniably interesting. I think the on-site dining aims for a unique Alaskan experience. Still, some reports suggest inconsistency between booking expectations and reality, so manage your expectations.”
