Great Alaska Hotels

Honest reviews, region by region.

Westmark Fairbanks Hotel

Westmark Fairbanks is the downtown workhorse of Interior Alaska hotels: unpretentious, central, and the property a great many cruise land tours put their guests in when they reach Fairbanks.

Where it is

Downtown Fairbanks, walkable to the Chena riverfront, restaurants and the visitor centre, and a short drive from the airport and the Alaska Railroad depot.

Who it suits

Land-tour guests and independent travellers who want a central, straightforward base for Interior day trips: Chena Hot Springs, the Arctic Circle drive, riverboat tours and Denali by rail.

When to go

Year-round. Downtown light makes it a weak aurora spot in itself, so pair a stay with a tour that drives out of the city, or move to a dark-sky property for the aurora nights.
