Alaskan Hotel and Bar

Alaskan Hotel and Bar

The Alaskan Hotel and Bar is an historic establishment and oldest operating hotel in Juneau, Alaska. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

It was opened as "The Alaskan" on September 16 1913. Its owners, three miners who struck it rich in the nearby Coast Range, tied the hotel's keys to a helium balloon and released it, signifying that the hotel would never close. The building was briefly condemned in the 1970s, but was rehabilitated by new owners.
