Military Bases With Lodging in Alaska

Family members often visit servicemen and women who are located on a military base. Visiting, however, can be problematic if the post falls in a remote location or lodging is often limited. Alaska's terrain, for example, presents a challenge, but suitable lodging can be found.
  1. Location Specific Options

    • Contact the post's information line. Every military post has a welcome center and a contact line for visiting relatives, dignitaries and other VIPs. This phone line will provide information on local lodging, on-base lodging and options for dining or tours. The specific contact numbers for the bases can be found by contacting the different branches of the military. Contact information can be found on the Army, Air Force, Marine or Navy websites for general information or location specific contact.

    Posts in Alaska with Lodging

    • Four posts currently reside in Alaska. Eielson Air Force Base (USAF), Elmendorf Air Force Base (USAF), Fort Richardson (US Army) and Fort Wainwright (US Army). Eielson hosts on-base lodging called the Goldrush Inn open to the public, and the post is located in Central Alaska. Elmendorf has the North Star Inn also available to the public and is located just North of Anchorage. Fort Richardson is also in Anchorage with on-post temporary quarters available. Fort Wainwright can be found near Fairbanks, Alaska with on-post temporary lodging available to military and family members. Seward Military Resort is also available for vacations and travel for qualifying military personnel or sponsored family members.
