Coast Inn At Lake Hood - Anchorage

Airport hotel adjacent to the world's busiest seaplane base

Location & Unique Setting

Coast Inn at Lake Hood sits directly next to Lake Hood, the busiest seaplane base in the world. Winter transforms the frozen lake into a runway for ski-equipped planes, viewable from the property. The Alaska Aviation Museum next door shares its historic Bush Pilot memorabilia with the hotel for its interior decor.

Transportation & Shuttle

The hotel operates a free 24-hour on-demand airport shuttle to Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, available seven days a week with no reservation required. A partner parking facility, Alaska Park, is next door for guests who need long-term parking during flights. The shuttle also serves the airport parking lot, so guests should expect possible wait times.

Dining at Pipers Restaurant

Pipers Restaurant and Lounge, locally owned and operated for over 30 years, serves seasonal Alaskan favorites and traditional native food. In summer, the deck overlooks Lake Hood, offering views of float planes landing and taking off. Monthly specials align with local harvests, and room service is available from the restaurant.

Rooms & Accessibility

Each guest room at Coast Inn Anchorage includes pillowtop bedding, a Keurig coffee machine with locally roasted Caffé D'arte Alaska coffee, and a microwave and mini-refrigerator. Accessible rooms are tailored for guests with limited mobility, featuring lower bathroom sinks and raised toilets. The hotel offers junior suites with extra space, though all second-floor rooms require stair access as there is no elevator.

Business & Guest Amenities

The Coast International Inn offers over 6,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space, flexible for events and weddings. A fitness center, laundry machines, and computer stations for printing boarding passes are available to guests. The 24-hour front desk provides concierge service, luggage storage, and a supply of basic toiletries for forgotten items.
