That would be the Hotel Captain Cook in Anchorage. Really, when friends call and ask what’s the nicest place in town, the answer is the Hotel Captain Cook. They’ve got the coolest Health Club. They have the killer views from the Crow’s Nest Restaurant. Plus–FREE WIRELESS!

If you love your honey, you’ll head to the “Cook” for the Valentine’s Day special. What’s included?

a. Chocolate covered strawberries (take note Gilded Fork!)

b. Champagne or sparkling cider

c. Overnight accommodations in deluxe room or Junior Suite

d. Use of Athletic Club and pool

The cost? $165 per room for the deluxe room. Add $20 for the Junior Suite.

REMEMBER: When you make your reservation, make plans for dinner as well. At the Crow’s Nest. Bring your camera. It’s just a glorious view. And the food is great as well.

In addition to the “Pantry” breakfast cafe in the lobby, you can stop in at the Whale’s Tail for an espresso.

This special is good on Feb. 14, 15 and 16. Call now to line up the Nicest Place in Anchorage for your Valentine’s Day romp! (907)276-6000.

Save a bundle this summer. Gray Line of Alaska is running a special from Anchorage to Denali Park for as little as $349 per person, double occupancy. That got my attention!

First, the Gray Line folks will pick up up at the airport in Anchorage and take you to your hotel.

The next day, travel on  full-dome McKinley Explorer railcars to Denali Park. These are great rail cars–everyone sits up on the top deck–and there’s a restaurant on the lower deck.

That night, spend the night at the Park. 

Take advantage of free time in Denali the following day: Jeep safaris, flightseeing, river rafting or hiking 

Then, catch the train for the ride back to Anchorage. Gray Line will pick you up and take you to your hotel.

All your hotel costs, train costs and transfer charges are included. You pay for your own meals and optional excursions.

Itineraries also available from Fairbanks. Consider adding more nights at Denali to see more of the park!

Watch for more Summer Specials–coming soon!
