Aspen Hotels Announces Major Expansion Across Alaska
Aspen Hotels today announced a major expansion of its statewide hotel portfolio, reinforcing its position as Alaska’s largest Alaska-owned and operated regional hotel brand.
The expansion includes the acquisition and full renovation of three former Extended Stay America properties, the alignment of additional independent hotels under the Aspen Hotels brand, and the development of a new guest rewards program scheduled to launch later this spring.
Aspen Hotels now operates the largest hotel portfolio in the state by location, with 16 properties spanning nearly a dozen Alaska communities and 1,428 rooms statewide, representing a 168% increase in capacity.
Collectively, the expansion represents a multimillion-dollar reinvestment in Alaska’s hospitality infrastructure and supports hundreds of hospitality jobs statewide.
“Aspen Hotels has long been part of Alaska’s lodging landscape, but this expansion marks a significant new chapter,” said Stuart Newmark, Operating Partner at JL Hospitality Management. “We are growing the Aspen Hotels brand with sustained investment and an intentional, well-cared-for guest experience, building hotels Alaskans can confidently recommend and visitors will want to return to.”
