Designed to serve as both a community gathering space and a basecamp for tourists seeking Alaska adventure on every level, The Wildbirch Hotel is a destination itself.

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. - is a laidback tasting room where craft beer enthusiasts can sip a unique variety of locally-brewed pours. A relaxed space for private events and meetings is located adjacent to the tasting room.
