Skagway Alaska lodging seems to place emphasis on historic ambiences. Perhaps this is due to the city's prominence as a Gold Rush town. As such, a stay at a Skagway Alaska lodging venue is akin to taking a trip back into history.
Golden North Hotel Skagway Alaska
The Golden North Hotel Skagway Alaska was built in 1898. It is the oldest operating hotel in Alaska. When it was first built, it was a two-story hotel. Then, it was moved in 1908 by horse and capstan to its present location. At this time, a third story and the world famous golden dome were added.
Corrington's purchased this Skagway Alaska lodging venue in 1997. The company spent more than one million dollars renovating the Crown Jewel of the Gold Rush. Now, each of the 31 rooms at the Golden North Hotel Skagway is dedicated to gold rush families. They are filled with their mementos and antiques.
The first floor of the hotel is home to a 60-seat pub, an 80-seat Victorian style restaurant, a 30 seat outdoor patio and Southeast Alaska's first microbrewery.
Alaska Lodging Skagway: Historic Skagway Inn
This hotel is reminiscent of a different type of Alaska lodging. Skagway was one home to a few houses of ill repute. As such, the Historic Skagway Inn Bed & Breakfast began as a bordello that had a prime location on Skagway's bawdy waterfront. In commemoration of the hotel's contribution to Skagway's sordid past, the hotel owners have named the guest rooms for the ladies who worked here. The unique turn-of-the-century atmosphere at this Skagway Alaska lodging venue inspires you to immerse yourself in the history and mystery of the Klondike Gold Rush.
