Alaska's Capital Inn Bed & Breakfast

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.
