The Wildbirch Hotel, a lifestyle boutique property, has opened in Anchorage as the first JdV by Hyatt property in Alaska and the city’s newest hotel in approximately two decades.
Now open in Anchorage’s Mushing District, the locally owned hotel has 252 guestrooms and is located on the West Fourth Avenue corridor, a hub for shopping, dining, historic and cultural experiences.
“Watching this place come to life has been an honor,” Haje Thurau, general manager of The Wildbirch Hotel, said in a statement. “It’s very special to see our overnight guests immerse themselves in the Anchorage lifestyle, engage with locals and discover what makes our little corner of Alaska such a magical place.”
The Wildbirch Hotel has a communal outdoor deck with fire pits and views of Mount Susitna and Knik Arm. The hotel also has onsite dining and 5,200 square feet of meeting and event space.
Food and Beverage
Inspired by Alaska’s summer sunsets and helmed by executive chef La Mont Caldwell, Crimson, the hotel’s signature restaurant, serves "high-end twists" on Alaska staples with a touch of Pan-American Latin elements.
Canteen Coffee Co., in the lobby of The Wildbirch Hotel, sells provisions and souvenirs from local artisans alongside espresso, coffee, fresh juices and grab-and-go options. Guests can enter the space through the hotel lobby or order through its streetside walk-up window.
Coming this fall, The Undertap—concepted and executed in partnership with the team behind Anchorage’s Midnight Sun Brewing Co.—will be a laidback craft beer tasting room. A space for private events and meetings is located adjacent to the tasting room.
