Fodor's Expert Review Sheraton Anchorage Hotel & Spa

The 16-story Sheraton is one of the city's best hotels, with rooms that are sleek (but not sterile) and accented with comfy beds and postcard views. Upper-level rooms overlook Cook Inlet and Mt. Susitna, the city, or the Chugach Range. From rooms on the north and east sides, watch Air Force jets fly in formation and small planes take off from Merrill Field. On-site restaurant Jade serves Alaska-inspired cuisine. In the bar, enjoy an Alaska brew on tap from a leather club chair in front of the rock fireplace. The on-site, modern Ice Spa is a perfect place to pamper yourself after a hike on the local trails. The property also features a clean, bright, 24-hour fitness center with mountain views.
