3 Haunted Hotels to Stay in Anchorage
Hotel Captain Cook
939 W 5th Ave, Anchorage, AK 99501, United States
While primarily known for luxury, Hotel Captain Cook has persistent rumors of a ghost in the women's restroom near the restaurant/bar area in Tower I. Reports often mention a stall door locking and unlocking on its own, lights flickering, or the sound of a woman crying or humming. The spirit is sometimes associated with a woman who supposedly died tragically in the hotel, though concrete details are elusive, forming more of a local urban legend within Anchorage.
Historic Anchorage Hotel
330 E St, Anchorage, AK 99501, United States
The Historic Anchorage Hotel is known for several spirits, most famously Anchorage's first Chief of Police, John J. 'Black Jack' Sturgus, who was mysteriously shot in front of the hotel in 1921; his presence is reported near the site of his death. Guests and staff have reported strange occurrences such as flickering lights, items moving on their own, spectral figures, and children's laughter. Room 215 is often cited as a hotspot. The hotel embraces its haunted reputation, chronicling stories in a guest journal.
Inlet Tower Hotel & Suites
1200 L St, Anchorage, AK 99501, United States
Formerly a medical building/hospital, the Inlet Tower is associated with residual energy from its past. Guests and staff have reported stories ranging from apparitions in hallways, disembodied voices or cries (particularly on upper floors previously used for patients), elevators behaving erratically, and general feelings of unease. One recurring story involves the ghost of a former patient who tragically died, seen looking out windows or wandering halls. Its history as a place of illness and death fuels its haunted reputation.
