The Wildbirch Hotel - JdV by Hyatt

First time here, and rooms are very nicely decorated - modern, nice complementary colors. Bed was really comfy, and linens are NOT wrinkled - says a lot. Compared to other name brand hotels in the vicinity, - that puts them to shame. Found the pillows a tad high though.
Long line at breakfast - waited 25 min for a seat, and over 35 min for the order. In the end, had to leave without breakfast, as it was time to catch the shuttle to the airport. Am sure it could be better, and apparently, they were overwhelmed this morning.

Remodeled and modern hotel in Anchorage with a good restaurant. Works pretty to go to/from the airport despite the higher cost.

I had never heard of the Wildbirch Hotel before I checked in. I was booked by a tour company and I was pleasantly surprised. The warmth of the hotel and the staff were great. The beds were perfect for me with the best throw blankets. I loved the choice of pillows on my bed so i could pick soft to firm. The coffee shop and restaurant on site made the stay even better. We traveling back to Anchorage I will definitely be staying here again.

The Wildbirch Hotel is a very nice property at an easily accessible location. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable with lots of outlets.
The hallways were in good condition even with the renovation ongoing on the first floor. Unique artistic touches compliment the atmosphere and create an inviting environment.

The downtown location was good - could walk to most places. Quite a few homeless people downtown. Although there was no airport shuttle nor would they take you to the train station that was about 1 mile from the hotel.

The front desk staff was awesome! Very pleasant and accommodating. We ate breakfast there one morning and the food was good and priced a little lower than the surrounding restaurants.

The room was comfortable. The layout of the hotel is very strange. Very long hallways. We were on the third floor - took the elevator to it but still had to go down stairs with luggage to our room - STRANGE!

The gym was good, but we had to be guided there to find it.

All in all - good place to stay.

Poor check in process. Very odd hotel layout. I wouldn’t stay here again. There are much better Hyatt choices in Anchorage

The atmosphere, the staff, the location and the breakfast.

This hotel is outstanding. The restaurant is maybe the best hotel restaurant I’ve ever had at Hyatt - get the reindeer hash (I know it sounds odd. It is soooo good). The rooms are tastefully decorated and spacious. I really enjoyed my stay here. The floor ceiling is very low on the second floor - I’m 5’11” and felt like i may have been too tall for that floor if I was a few inches taller. I got a room on the top floor (3) and it was fantastic. An awesome place to stay in downtown Anchorage. Definitely walk to the burger place right down the street - it is also to die for.

I loved the aestetic, I love that it was in a central location. The hotel its self was awesome. I loved have a delicious relaxed breakfast.

Recently renovated boutique hotel in downtown Anchorage. Decor is custom designed with Alaskan exploration theme. King room was spacious and all new. There is a restaurant and fitness center. For EV drivers there are 2 free chargers (J-1772) in the parking lot.

I would not recommend this hotel. the layout is terrible. there's no signage on how to get to certain rooms or that in the elevator that the lobby is on the second floor. not a lot of water pressure they have two showerheads and there's no water pressure for one let alone two. the second night there was a tapping noise in the room that they couldn't figure out, and I had to change room rooms in the middle of the night, even though I had to get up early the next day. no water in the rooms even though they have nice coffee machine with coffee pods. you can't charge to the room from the guest shop. also the person checking in was not friendly, was wondering why she would want the job she was in because she absolutely hated it.

This was my 3rd or 4th time staying at The Wildbirch Hotel in Anchorage, and I ended up joining World of Hyatt just so I can earn points for staying here because it is so lovely that it has ruined me for other stays in Anchorage! I have struggled for years to find a hotel I actually enjoy staying at in Anchorage, but I absolutely love this hotel. The staff is so friendly and accommodating, the rooms are immaculate, I have never had trouble sleeping here, and it's easy to get to and park for a downtown location. The vibe of the decor is hip and fun, and it's just a nice place to be. I now actually look forward to trips to Anchorage instead of dreading them! Their standard for cleanliness is excellent, big thank you to the housekeeping staff and desk staff who work so hard!

The Wild Birch is a freshly renovated Old Holiday Inn that was built in the 1970's. So, with that said, the ceilings are low and the layout is long. We had a room at the end of the hotel, so going to the coffee bar in the morning was a long walk. Good way to get your your morning steps in, however, there is a nice coffee machine similar to a keurig in the room. The location is downtown in the mushing district of Anchorage. The hotel would be a great location for Fur Rondy and Iditarod Sled Dog races. The room was nicely decorated, clean and beds were comfy. There was a bit of noise, from other rooms, but it helped being on the top floor. Parking is on 3rd Avenue and the hotel entrance is on 4th avenue, so just know that you'll have to go around the block and down a hill to park.

We stayed here for one night earlier this month as part of a short trip to Alaska.

We’d booked an urban suite on a B&B basis as it wasn’t much more expensive than a standard king room. We had struggled to check in using the Hyatt app, but managed via the full website and then were able to get our digital key. However, we still had to stop at the desk to get our breakfast vouchers.

The hotel has a modern, contemporary, industrial vibe to it. Our room was cosy but very well equipped and decorated. As we had a suite we actually had two bathrooms which was a plus when getting ready in the morning. There was a little bit of noise from the street but we slept well. Earplugs are provided if you do need them. As others have said, the elevator by the lobby takes you to the 3rd floor but you then have to walk down a small flight of stairs to access the rooms. It’s a bit of a bizarre design but there is another elevator at the far end of the corridor without this challenge.

We had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant. Both meals were very good indeed. Service was friendly and professional. We had salmon and lasagne for dinner. Breakfast was the reindeer hash and the steak and eggs. Everything was freshly cooked to order, with breakfast taking an hour from sitting down to leaving. However, the food is definitely well worth the wait! Everything was fresh, piping hot, well presented and all served at the same time.

The only downside to our stay was that the lobby gift shop and coffee shop wasn’t open as advertised due to some staffing challenge. However it did seem to have a good selection of gifts etc.

I have to say that staying here really was a breath of fresh air compared to our usual hotel in Anchorage. We’d thoroughly recommend it, and we’d have no hesitation in staying here again.
