This is the oldest still-operating hotel in Alaska, opened in 1913 as a pit stop for mining industry workers during the Gold Rush. When it was first established, it had steam-powered heating and a communal wireless station, and while these features have now been upgraded, you can still enjoy sitting in its large Victorian bay windows, typical of the Queen Anne architectural style. The wood-paneled bar is particularly lovely in those chilly Alaskan winters too.
