America Line, announces Open Season on Alaskan Hospitality. The largest hotel
group in Alaska and the Yukon Territory, with 11 hotels in 10 communities,
provides a mountain of services to business and leisure tour travelers. Six

Northern welcome 12 months a year.
"Westmark Hotels is committed to Alaska and the Yukon," said Steve
Leonard, Vice President, Westmark Hotels. "Five properties -- Anchorage,
Juneau, Fairbanks, Whitehorse and Sitka -- are open year round. We cater to
business and tourist travelers who want the best of the Great Land."
Westmark Inn at Beaver Creek -- Traditionally the roadhouse, this property
was an integral part of the social fabric of the Northwest providing lodging,
meals and news of the era. This tradition is kept alive at the Westmark Inn
Beaver Creek where travelers also enjoy comfortable lodgings and the popular
Rendezvous Dinner Show May 19 to September 12, 2005.
Westmark Inn Dawson City -- The newly renovated Westmark Inn in Dawson
City provides visitors with spacious and comfortable accommodations just
blocks from legendary Diamond Tooth Gertie's gambling hall in the heart of
this lively gold rush community. The hotel is open for summer travelers from
May 19 through September 13, 2005.
Westmark Klondike Inn -- This Whitehorse landmark, located in the historic
capital of the Yukon Territory, is the ideal base for excursions to the many
tourist attractions nearby - the Yukon Gardens, the McBride Museum, the SS
Klondike National Historic Site and more. The Inn is open to summer travelers
from May 20 to September 7, 2005.
Westmark Inn Skagway -- The mere mention of Skagway brings to mind those
rough and ready days of Jack London and miners scrambling over the Chilkoot
Trail in search of golden dreams and elusive riches. The Westmark Inn, open
May 21 to September 10, 2005, reflects the charm and personality of those days
with Victorian decor, rustic setting and warm Alaskan hospitality.
Westmark Tok -- The town of Tok is the first community inside the U.S.
border along the famous Alaska Highway. The hotel, open from May 19 to
September 14, 2005, offers an inviting retreat for travelers heading north to
Fairbanks or southwest to Anchorage.
