In 1906 gold rush pioneer John Olds built one of the grandest homes in all of Juneau, high on the hillside, overlooking the bustling waterfront. Born in Cornwall in southwest Britain, John made his way for years as a miner, prospecting his way along the Oregon Trail and eventually canoeing up Gastineau Channel in late December of 1880. Gold had been discovered and as luck would have it, he was with the first wave of miners that dark wintry night. John and his partners successfully operated several placer and load claims during the early years of the rush. With his diggings, John bought two local hotels and served the fledgling community as a businessman and civic leader. Now offering fine accommodations in the Capital City preserves those early memories of a pioneer family’s historic home. Your stay with us will be a true bed and breakfast experience. The aroma of fresh roasted coffee announces breakfast, a multi-course affair, served in the formal dinning room amidst rays of the morning sun. The menu may include sautéed apples in a hot cinnamon sauce or fresh local raspberries and cream. From the bedside diaries, guest’s favorite entrées are the Dungeness crab eggs benedict on home baked rolls, or the lemon soufflé hotcakes and thick cut smoked ham. Linger and enjoy coffee and conversation in an unrushed atmosphere, sharing plans or recounting the previous days adventures.

5 out of 5Excellent stay at the Capital Inn
August 21, 2012
Can't say enough positive things about our stay at the Capital Inn. The Inn owners, Linda and Mark, are so nice and helpful. Linda booked our tours (with a discount) and in fact was able to get us on a tour that had been overbooked. The breakfasts are amazing -- delicious and filling. Snacks are available all day. Room was excellent -- very comfortable bed, beautiful decor, super clean. I will only stay at the Capital Inn whenever in Juneau!

We recently spent 3 nights here and were so grateful that we had chosen this spot over another hi-end B&B in a different area of Juneau. From Capital Inn we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go: to the docks and restaurants, to town and shops, to the tram and hike down Mt. Roberts to our B&B, on a lovely hike to a waterfall, to the Alaska State Museum. It was a good uphill workout and we loved the exercise because it was the antidote to Mark & Linda's amazing endless breakfasts! My favorite were the muffins, especially the rhubarb. One morning I had muffins, sourdough pancakes and warm chocolate chip cookies -- for breakfast! We felt like family the entire time we were there. They really extended themselves to our needs. We met interesting people from around the world and some colorful locals too!

September 08, 2009
Once we stepped inside, it felt a little like home and by the time we left 4 days later I am convinced this is the best B&B I've ever stayed at. The hospitality was perfect, the rooms were clean, comfortable and I got the best rest of my trip here. When you go, make sure to say hello to "Duffy" the Scottish Terrier and enjoy your stay sipping a glass of wine and enjoying the garden out back. Whatever you do, don't miss breakfast as it won't get much better than Linda's cooking.

April 29, 2008
I've traveled to Juneau probably 7 times per year for the past 8 years, and for almost all of those trips have stayed at Alaska's Capital Inn. There is no better place in town, southeast Alaska, or maybe the whole state. Linda and Mark, owners, have lovingly refurbished every detail of the Inn. The rooms are way comfortable, and the sitting and dining rooms invite guests to relax and enjoy each other's company. You can walk to the dock, all the good restaurants and shops, and even up to Juneau's trail system for hikes. I stay there for all of these reasons, but most important are Linda and Mark. Wonderful people with great ideas and tips on southeast travel; and now, fine friends.

A blue streaked shale patterned bathroom floor compliments the wainscoting surrounding the pedestal sink and claw foot tub, the original antique wall hung commode is original to the house.

Enchantment, romance, and turn of the century elegance provide an unforgettable experience where period furnishings subtly blend with 21st century amenities in the “room at the top”.

Our stay was a true bed and breakfast experience. The aroma of fresh roasted coffee announcing breakfast, a multi-course affair, served in the formal dinning room amidst rays of the morning sun was truly enjoyable. The menu included many delicious items. The unrushed atmosphere, sharing plans or recounting the previous days adventures with other guests was an adventure in itself. The Inn is close to downtown and bus stops to be able to get to anywhere needed to go.

April 24, 2008
My husband and I stayed at this beautiful B&B in a most romantic attic suite! The garden was gorgeous too - we were inspired to find our own haven just like this one. It was a great way to end our 2 week tour of the area. Linda even surprised me with birthday cake (we were celebrating my 40th and our anniv) - it was deliciious (not to mention our goodies bags for breakfast since we had to leave so early). They took great care of us! Beautiful home, great people, walking distance to the Red Dog Saloon :-)...HIGHLY recommend it!

Linda and Mark put a 110% into every possible detail at Alaska's Capital Inn and the hospitality they offer their guests is unmatched. The guidebook reviews don't exaggerate, this is THE PLACE to stay in Juneau!
