Skagway is a small downtown, and two hotels publish their own location claims. One says it is a short walk from the cruise piers. The other says it is inside the historic district and walkable to town. Neither page gives a separate time for every dock, so confirm your berth.
Quick answer: Holland America Skagway Inn says it is a short walk from the cruise ship piers and the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park. The Historic Skagway Inn is at 655 Broadway, inside that historic district. Use the hotel that matches how you want to spend the day, then confirm which dock your ship is on.

Two downtown hotels with published locations
Holland America Skagway Inn
Short walk to the piersThird and Spring Streets, Skagway, Alaska
The hotel’s page says it is a short walk from the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park and the cruise ship piers. It also says the hotel was formerly the Holland America Hotels Inn Skagway, and that it has 94 guest rooms.
- Published address: Third and Spring Streets, Skagway, Alaska 99840. Hotel site.
- OpenStreetMap lists the former Westmark Inn Skagway on 3rd Avenue. That matches the hotel’s own note that the name changed. We did not turn “a short walk” into a minute count.
- The hotel page we checked said 2026 bookings for this location were coming soon. Confirm the dates you need are actually on sale.
Historic Skagway Inn
Broadway, historic district655 Broadway, Skagway, Alaska 99840
The inn’s site says it is downtown, inside the Klondike Gold Rush National Park Historic District, and that guests can walk to historic sites, shops, and events in town. It does not publish a walk time to each cruise dock.
- Address and phone, from the inn: 655 Broadway, Skagway, AK 99840, (907) 531-7630. Inn site.
- The inn lists its hours as March through October. Confirm it is open on your sailing date.
Booking the cruise fare
The room-rate buttons can earn this site a commission. The cruise fare does not. Book the sailing on the cruise line’s own site: Holland America, Princess, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean. Those are not affiliate links.

How we checked this guide
The “Last updated” date at the top of this page is when we last reviewed it end to end.
- Parking rates, shuttle fees and transport times are taken from the port’s, venue’s or operator’s own published pages and from each hotel’s own website — not from aggregator sites.
- Distances and journey times are the figures the venue or transit operator publishes, not our estimates. Where we give a distance, we say what it is measured to.
- Hotel amenities (breakfast, shuttle hours, pet and parking policies) come from each hotel’s own site. These change more often than anything else here, so confirm them when you book.
- Room rates are deliberately not listed anywhere on this site. They move daily, and a price written one month is wrong the next. Our links take you to live pricing instead.
- We have not stayed at every hotel we write about. Where we contacted a property directly, the guide says so and gives the date. Where a figure comes from a third-party report rather than an official source, we say that too.

Affiliate links: we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
We start at the venue and work outward: walking time, shuttle and transit options first, then guest review scores and value for money. Hotels can’t pay to be listed. Some links are affiliate links, so we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Prices and availability change daily, so always check live rates before you book.
