There’s just something about stepping into the elevator in the Hotel Captain Cook on your way to the Crow’s Nest – you get to press the big round button, floating at the top of all the other little boring buttons, and zoom up to the 20th floor for a dose of retro-glam style, elaborate meal presentations (even ordering a cup of coffee feels fancy because they bring out all sorts of little accoutrements, including cookies and cinnamon sticks), and ridiculously gorgeous views of Anchorage.
A lovely, lofty perch for an evening cocktail.
