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 unit is named after Myles and Joanna Hyland, the founders of the Hyland Hotel. Shortly after the arrival of the Matanuska colony settlers, the Hylands moved to Palmer from Girdwood, where Myles had been working for the Alaska Railroad. After purchasing land from pre-colony homesteader John Bugge, the couple worked side by side to establish themselves in the growing community—digging the building’s basement by hand while Joanna supported their efforts by cooking and serving meals from a tent on the property. The Hylands operated the hotel together until Myles' death in 1949, and Joanna continued to be involved in the hotel operations until 1966.
