The Landing Hotel, Restaurant, and Pub

What The Landing Hotel, Restaurant, and Pub does

The Landing Hotel, Restaurant, and Pub is an independent full-service waterfront hotel in Ketchikan, Alaska, operating as The Landing Restaurant LLC since 1977. The property comprises 80 guest rooms and 27 suites across multiple configurations (Standard Queen, Standard King, Standard Double Queen, Deluxe Double Queen, Queen Suite, King Mini Suite, Executive King, and accessible options), with the recently constructed North Court Building adding premium balcony suites overlooking Tongass Narrows. Two on-site dining venues (The Diner Restaurant on the 1st floor and The Portside Pub & Grill on the 2nd floor) and the Sunny Point Conference Center with over 5,000 square feet of flexible event space position the property as a full-service hospitality operation rather than a pure lodging provider.

Revenue is generated through three core streams: nightly room accommodations (rates vary by room type and date via TravelClick), on-site food and beverage operations across both restaurants, and event space rental with catering for corporate meetings, weddings, and banquets. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, with the company's own website and TravelClick booking engine serving as the primary reservation channel, supplemented by phone bookings, walk-in ferry traffic, TripAdvisor visibility, OpenTable for restaurant reservations, and Tripleseat for event inquiries. Bundled adventure packages with Kawanti Adventures and Baranof Fishing Excursions extend the offering into packaged tourism.

The hotel primarily serves ferry travelers arriving via the Alaska Marine Highway and Inter-Island Ferry terminals located directly across the street, business and government travelers needing connectivity and meeting space, adventure tourists pursuing fishing and wildlife excursions, and groups/families hosting events. The property is privately held by owners Kay Sims and Terry Wanzer, with Linda Peters serving as General Manager, and has received regional recognition including Business of the Year from the Alaska State Legislature and the Ketchikan Visitors Bureau's Spirit of Alaska and Heart of the Community awards.
