The Hotel Captain Cook dominates downtown Anchorage with its trio of connected towers clad in dark, weathered copper panels. Walter Hickel, a former governor of Alaska, built the first tower in nineteen sixty-four, just months after the devastating Good Friday earthquake leveled much of the city. He envisioned the hotel as a symbol of resilience for the frontier town. The lobby houses a collection of intricate ship models and maps documenting the voyages of Captain James Cook through Alaskan waters.
