Pearson's Pond Luxury Inn and Adventure Spa

Frommer's Review

This sensual retreat of superbly appointed rooms, packed with every conceivable amenity, is on grounds that create the illusion of being in a fairyland somewhere in the Alaska wilderness -- there's even a private pond with a rowboat -- although it really lies in a residential subdivision near the Mendenhall Glacier. The inn hosts business travelers -- there's a well-stocked snack room, and all units have Ethernet ports and access to a wireless LAN (and they'll lend you a laptop, too) -- but it's really a place for couples and is often the site of weddings. Rooms are elaborately decorated, some have wonderful bathing facilities, and all are heavily sound-proofed for nights of passion. The inn offers massage and daily yoga classes as well, and the well-trained staff keeps everything immaculate. Staff also plan custom tour packages, if you want them to set up your whole vacation. Book their web specials to save something on the high rates.
