The History
This newly renovated and locally owned property was the first hotel/BnB ever built in Palmer Alaska. It opened for business in 1936 with single rooms renting for $3 a day. We have maintained the historic colonial feel of the building while incorporating modern amenities to ensure our guests a comfortable and safe stay. The Hyland Hotel was officially listed on the federal National Register of Historic Places on June 21, 1991. We look forward to sharing a piece of Palmer's history with you!

This Suite is named after the Van Wormer family. Howard and Bernice Van Wormer, originally from South Boardman, Michigan, relocated to Palmer as part of the Matanuska Colony Project. They welcomed the first baby born in the new colony in July of 1935.
For entertainment, guests can expect to find Smart TVs. Washing machines, refrigerators, and coffee makers are also available.
