The Southeast Resort
(formerly Westmark)

The Sitka Hotel

The Vibe: Classic Victorian-style building right on Lincoln Street. It has a vintage charm that feels authentic to old Alaska. It doesn't try to be a modern or luxury boutique; instead, it leans into its role as a historic landmark. Expect creaky floors, high ceilings in some areas, and a sense of "if these walls could talk." A 7-minute walk to the conference center. Free shuttle to/from the airport.

Nightly Rate:$139 (plus fee/tax) with Promo code: NCLTCC26
Room Block: no set limit
How to Book: (907)747-3288 or online at www.thesitkahotel.com

The Baranof Lodge Motel

The Vibe: Located slightly away from the main harbor, the vibe is quieter, resembling a small, roadside inn or a classic motel-style setup that offers reliable lodging. A 10-minute walk to the conference center. Free shuttle to/from airport.

Nightly Rate:$109 (plus fee/tax) with Promo code: NCLTCC26
Room Block: no set limit
