Remote work has changed the way we think about travel. Who says your office needs four walls? In Anchorage, your workspace can come with a mountain view, fast internet, and reliable cell coverage. When the laptop closes, Alaska’s trails, wildlife, and wide-open spaces are waiting just outside.
Anchorage is easier to reach than you might expect, with convenient flights connecting you to major cities.
Coworking Spaces and Wi-Fi-Friendly Cafés
From neighborhood coffee shops to dedicated coworking spaces, Anchorage makes it easy to stay connected while you’re in town. Local favorite spots include Kaladi Brothers Coffee, Midnight Sun Café, or The Cubby at The Hotel Captain Cook.
If you prefer a more structured workday, coworking spaces like The Boardroom and Alaska CoWork offer comfortable workspaces, high-speed internet, and a chance to connect with fellow remote workers.
Log In, Lift Off
Looking for a workspace with a view? Arctic Valley’s lodge offers Wi-Fi and space to work during spring hours, with the lifts only steps away when it’s time to log off.
If you’re planning an overnight stay in Girdwood, Alyeska Resort offers spectacular mountain views and the perfect home base for balancing work and adventure. Recharge at the Alyeska Nordic Spa, explore Girdwood’s restaurants and shops, or head out for outdoor adventures.
Staying closer to the Anchorage Bowl? Hilltop Ski Area is a great place for a midday reset. Grab lunch on the deck at Finn’s Kitchen, then trade your screen for a scenic summer hike.
Nomad-Friendly Accommodations
Whether you’re visiting for a few days or a few weeks, Anchorage has accommodations that make remote work easy. Choose from unique stays like BlueWater BaseCamp, Anchorage extended-stay favorites like Staybridge Suites and Residence Inn by Marriott, or boutique hotels, B&Bs, and rustic lodges.
Many accommodations include kitchenettes, laundry facilities, and comfortable spaces to settle in and get some work done.
Adventure & Outdoor Recreation
One of the best perks of working remotely from Anchorage is how close adventure is. Wrap up your workday with a quick hike on Flattop Mountain for sweeping city views, or head to Kincaid Park to bike the trails and keep an eye out for wildlife.
When the weekend arrives, Chugach State Park offers endless ways to explore, from hiking and kayaking to glacier adventures. In winter, trade your laptop for ski runs at Alyeska Resort or step outside to catch the northern lights dancing across the sky.
After Hours
There’s more to Anchorage than trails and mountain views. Explore the Anchorage Museum, wander through local galleries, admire colorful murals around town, or browse boutiques and gift shops featuring Alaska-made art, jewelry, and handcrafted goods.
When it’s time to call it a day, Anchorage’s food and drink scene offers flavors from around the world. Grab a pint at one of Anchorage’s craft breweries, catch live music or a comedy show, enjoy a night out on the town, or wind down at one of Anchorage’s favorite gathering spots.
One last bonus: As if mountain views weren’t enough, Alaska has no state sales tax, making it a little easier to stretch your travel budget.
If you’re ready to swap your usual workspace for an Alaska backdrop, why wait? Start planning your trip and discover what Anchorage offers for working travelers.
