The Sheraton is the spa night in downtown Anchorage, and the parking is the line item to watch. On-site self-parking is $29.99 a day, re-checked October 2, with Jade Restaurant, the Ptarmigan bar, a coffee bar and a spa under one roof.
Two pets up to 40 lb each stay for $100 a stay, not a night.
Breakfast is at Jade and on your bill, and there's no airport shuttle; Marriott puts ANC about 6.1 miles away. The Whittier dock is about 59 road miles on our estimate.
Book it for a spa evening without a car, or price the parking for every night before you call it a deal.
Book it if

Facts for the Sheraton come from its own pages, read September 26, 2026, with the shuttle, parking and airport-ride lines re-read October 2, 2026 where it published them. Before a Whittier sailing, confirm the parking for every night — before the deposit, not after.
