This may not be the most aesthetically pleasing work of architecture, but it was great for Alaska. This is the city I grew up in as well as the place where my parents met. In a way without this building I would not exist. I love this hotel because there is a great restaurant on top of it that overlooks the city. This is also one of the tallest buildings in Anchorage, so it is a great vantage point to see what is around. I believe this is one of the coolest buildings in Alaska and also has many fun shops and restaurants in it. It is also very functional as a hotel and is a great place to stay. The Captian Cook hotel has a special place in my memories and I look forward to going back here and look over my childhood city.
