Places to Stay in Girdwood, Alaska

Where you sleep in Girdwood shapes the whole trip. Options run from the full-service Hotel Alyeska at the base of the tram to cozy bed-and-breakfasts, backcountry cabins, a hostel for budget travelers, and dozens of vacation rentals tucked into the trees along the valley floor.

Stay slopeside for ski-in, ski-out mornings, or pick a quiet cabin where the only sound is the creek and the occasional moose. Many rentals are locally owned and booked directly with Girdwood hosts. Filter by the kind of place you want and reach out early, because the valley fills up fast on winter weekends and through the summer.

Whatever you choose, you’re within a few minutes of trailheads, the resort, and the handful of restaurants that make up downtown Girdwood.
