My husband and I loved everything about our stay here. Everyone was super friendly and helpful with information on suggestions for eating out, local sightseeing and general area information. The view from our room was phenomenal. I really don’t see how there could be a room with a bad view because it has mountains all around it. There is a convenient local bus that runs a loop all around town and to the hotel. It was great when going to town to eat and we didn’t want to drive ourselves. It runs on a schedule all day. It came a mini blizzard the evening we arrived and the entire area was stunning. Can’t wait to come back someday.

Stayed at the resort for two nights. Room was clean, bedding was crisp and comfy. For the amount paid, quality TV reception is expected. All channels were fuzzy while the optional pay per view was clear. No more books in the room to show what is happening such as menus of in-house restaurants, business hours of sundries or any general local area info, not even a QR code for the tech savvy. We ate at a couple places and found the food to be delicious. Our first meal was at Forte and found it to be very good with well-done upgrades (they were closed on last visit). The Ciombatta was very good, I added steak, an extra $21 to the $32 price tag. They offer Moscato but only in bottle form so we splurged. There is no complimentary bread, it must be purchased- which we did. It was semi-warm with dollops of butter, I wouldn't order it again. I suggest getting something else. We also ate at the Aurora Bar & Grill after our spa time. The A-Bar Stir Fry was good with quite a bit of sauce similar to soy sauce. If you're not a fan of saltiness, I recommend asking them to minimize the amount of sauce. All proportions were nicely sized. The hotel offers a Green Stay Program where one may decline cleaning service when staying for 2 nights or more. In return for participating, visitors have the option of donating $5 to the Wildlife Conservation Center or get a $5 voucher for hotel dining. Take note, this is not visible anywhere until you get into the room and there's a card with the info on it stating one must sign up at the front desk on day of check-in or following morning. The front desk asked if we wanted cleaning service, we refused and nothing more was advised. They should be mentioning this program and asking which option of credit we preferred but they did not and automatically made it a donation to the Wildlife Center. I've stayed here multiple times since 2004 and understand the cost of upkeep and upgrades however staying at the hotel is making it harder for locals to afford a weekend stay. Its worth saving for a getaway, just not as often as before for locals. …

Beautiful resort that we stopped at off the Seward Hwy for a break. Walking up to this resort located at the base of the mountains there was a sign Beware Beer and to not leave food in your car. We did anyway and when arriving back at our car both our car and our snacks were still in good condition. This is a ski resort with ski lifts and a tram that takes you to the top of the mountain. Due to the cloudy, rainy weather when we visited we did not pay to take the tram. Found a coffee shop inside, ordered a Hazelnut Latte and sat in a big comfy leather chair in front of a roaring fireplace with a beautiful view of the grounds and the mountains. Very relaxing. I think this would be a nice resort to stay in, very attractive and has several food options.

Just went riding in the mountain and went to the resort for a bit but didn’t stay. Some of the tram guys who were working Saturday night need some serious customer service training, never experienced such rudeness. Cocktails at Sakura could use a major uplift, very strong in the syrup taste both Margarita and the lavender mojito. Good things, Marcus at boretide was absolutely wonderful, even though they were locked up and closed we happened to walk by him outside and asked about getting a cup of water which he went out of his way to do so, thank you Marcus for your hospitality! Next, Tony (bellman at the lobby) thank you for not letting us wait who knows how long for the glacier shuttle and giving our party a ride back to the day lodge, as a previous employee at Alyeska and knowing this shuttle is basically hotel guest only, thank you for also going out of your way! And lastly, thank you Dave for welcoming me into the Fizznation, it was way overdue!!…

Great location near snowshoe/cross country ski trails, gorgeous ski/snowboard trails and close to Portage Glacier and other attractions. The resort is pretty and the grounds are spectacular. We had a picture post card view from our window. There were a lot of families so we couldn’t enjoy the pool at our reserved time of 7pm as it was overrun with small children. There should be a adult only time after 7pm or at least the hot tub and sauna should be adult only. I never let my kids go in hot tubs or saunas at hotels. Was disappointed in the food at the sports bar. A $40 salad should have some flavor. The fish and chips were good but my friends salads lacked flavor. The breakfast Saturday was fabulous with really fresh salmon and yummy reindeer sausage and crispy bacon. The eggs were super runny so ate the hard boiled eggs as I don’t like runny scrambled eggs. Breakfast Sunday seemed like leftovers, we opted to eat out after that. Highly recommend Chair 5 down the street. The hotel does need better pillows otherwise the rooms would have been very nice. Good bathroom layout and the rooms seem in good shape. Again, magical views and grounds make it worth the trip. …

Me and some friends have been coining here every year for 3 years while we have been station active duty military here and never had a issue. Until today, I lost my ticket in the middle of the day and threw out my receipt. Went to the desk and they told me there was nothing they can do even tho the have a merchant copy of the receipt and the told me they didn’t want to go threw them. Ended up digging through the trash to try and find the receipt and I glance over and they are standing there smirking at me while I dug through the trash. Ended up not finding it and buying another pass. Day goes on and we end up going on north face where the double black it and took out time due to a less experienced rider we were with. Ended up taking a break on the trail in the wooded area and took in the view, spend like a hour there sitting talking and listening to music. Then ski patrol rolls up and tell us the trail is closed and they followed us down and took our passes. They were not understanding what so ever and we didn’t feel like we did anything wrong, still punished for it. What happened to this place that was so kind and family friendly.…

Thank you for your review and please feel free to contact me at the resort to further discuss. Leaership is aware of your concerns and apologize for the experiences you had on the mountain. We take great pride in customer service excellence and is seems we missed the mark. Safety is a priority of ours and we do need to keep the areas of the mountain closed, and the guests in the proper terrain. However, it seems the situations could have been handled more delicately. Leadership has looked into your situations and will provide more training, as appropriate. We thank you for your business and appreciate locals, loyalty and fellow mountaineers. Stay safe and see you on the slopes!

We had another fun family adventure at Alyeska Resort over the holidays. We enjoyed Alpine and Nordic skiing. We spent several mornings and evenings enjoying the pool and hot tub. The Spa is a very nice addition and highly recommended. We found some very nice Christmas gifts. The restaurants were all very good. The staff was very helpful and courteous and the reset was very clean. Alyeska Resort is one of our favorite places to visit.

I have been going to Alyeska resort since it opened in 994. I recently stayed at the hotel for two nights mid-December 2022, and paid over $600. You used to be able to use Groupon to buy one night and get one free. Those are now obsolete. Our recent stay was a complete disappointment. You now have to pay $27. a night to park in the resort lot, our room had potato chips on the floor, the professionalism of the staff has gone way down. Upon check-in I was given two key that didn't work. I had to wait in line again to get working keys and was less than impressed at this point. Then the guy asks me "How has your stay been so far?". Seriously. Idiot. You have to make a reservation for the pool, and finding an open place to eat was a challenge. I don't know if they are understaffed and use the same people in all the eating establishments or what but you better call ahead if you want sushi. The Pond Cafe' is now called Forte and charges $28. per person for the breakfast buffet, which is the only option for breakfast. Even the hostess laughed with us when we asked how much it was. When I asked a girl at the front desk if there were new owners that have made these ridiculous changes she said no, a new manager. A European named Sasha . She called him a "jerk". I concur.…

We strive for, and pride ourselves on delivering customer service excellence and upholding high standards and we apologize we did not reach this expectation in regards to your stay. Your ideas have been heard and we take your experiences seriously. With regards to missing the mark on the points in your review - the renovation of the Nordic Spa, Forte, and now the rooms, there are changes that are taking place and perhaps some growing pains along the way. The valet is back by demand and highly popular, however there is still parking in front of the resort complimentary, as well as the over flow lot. With regard to the pool, our demand for the pool has gone down with the Nordic Spa opening, however we still need to give everyone the opportunity to go and still remain under fire code capacity.. Regarding the restaurants, the hours of operation varies, however BoreTide, Forte, and Sitzmark are open daily and at least one other is open nightly. Feedback is a gift and allows us to make changes to improve the guest experience. Our goal is to welcome you back to Alyeska Resort in the future! Snow is here. If there is anything I can do, please reach out to me directly at the resort. Happy New Year.

we stayed one night, and it was probably the best room we stayed in on the trip to Alaska. It's a resort, so it's big with many tour groups, we were a group of 14. However, our room was very nice, big, and quiet. Excellent buffet breakfast with a nice view outside. We enjoyed taking the tram to the summit for lunch. We took a hike in the rain, after lunch, through a rainforest. The trail starts at the bottom, near the tram. Also, we did a short side trip to pan for gold, in the rain, which was interesting, if only to impress how hard it was to do that for a livelihood.
