Group and Event Travel in Alaska

Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge in Denali holds the top spot on this list of the biggest hotels in Alaska, with 656 rooms, followed by Hilton Anchorage (600 rooms) and Hotel Captain Cook (546 rooms), both in Anchorage. These properties give teams and organizations enough capacity under one roof for large gatherings, from company retreats to multi-day conferences. Coordinators booking on behalf of a group and travelers booking their own trips can both find and reserve these rooms on Engine.

Large hotels matter across Alaska because conferences, corporate events, and group travel often need dozens or hundreds of rooms held together rather than scattered across a city. The biggest properties on this list are not concentrated in one place: Denali sits near the entrance to Denali National Park, while Anchorage, the state's largest city, carries two of the top three. Organizations of every size and industry book these room blocks, whether for a single business trip or a large team event. Engine lists these hotels alongside the rest of the state's inventory, and for stays of 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the booking, while smaller stays of 8 rooms or fewer can be booked self-serve on the platform.

How far ahead should I book if my team needs a block of rooms at one of Alaska's largest hotels?
For a stay of 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the booking, and starting early gives you more options and better rates. For 8 rooms or fewer, you can book self-serve on the platform.
