The Marriott Anchorage Downtown has completed a top-to-bottom renovation that included its guestrooms, public spaces, dining outlets and function space.
Owned and managed by Columbia Sussex, the Marriott Anchorage Downtown is located in Anchorage’s downtown district, close to the Dena'ina Civic and Convention Center, and a short drive from the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. The hotel's meeting and event spaces can accommodate groups ranging anywhere from five to 500 people.
The hotel’s new aesthetic was inspired by the interplay between the Alaskan outdoors with the metropolitan lifestyle of Alaska’s most populous city. Public spaces and guestrooms take advantage of the mountain and city views with large windows placed to let natural light in. Artwork and furnishings have neutral color palettes with pops of bright blue and grey hues, juxtaposing natural wood and leather materials with contemporary designs and artistic focal points.
All 392 guestrooms, including the McKinley, Talkeetna and Susitna suites—each named for a distinct Alaskan town or landmark—have been renovated to reflect the new design philosophy using earthy tones with complementing blue and grey palettes, coupled with a contemporary and upscale twist reflecting the Marriott brand’s comfortable, modern aesthetic. Each guestroom has large-format windows overlooking the landscape.
