The Baranof has long been Juneau's most prestigious address; it's as close to a big-city downtown boutique hotel as you're going to find in Southeast Alaska. Tasteful woods and period lamps in the dark art-deco lobby create an old-money atmosphere reminiscent of 1939, when the hotel first opened. Downstairs, breakfast and lunch are available in the Capitol Café and in the Gold Room with its embroidered chairs. Rooms on the front side have the best views, but street noise may keep you awake at the lower levels. The best are spacious corner suites on the upper floors, which overlook the busy harbor to the forested mountains of Douglas Island. Some of the other rooms are fairly small.
