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!



John J. Bugge, born in 1872 in Norway, immigrated to the United States in 1880 and became Palmer, Alaska's first homesteader in 1914, securing a 320-acre patent by 1920. His homestead, located at the intersection of what are now the Palmer-Wasilla and Glenn Highways, played a pivotal role in the early development of the area. In recognition of his contributions, Bugge Park in Palmer is named in his honor, serving as a community space with playground amenities.
