Werner Room 204, Hyland Hotel

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!

Adam Werner, born in 1888 in Liebenstein, Austria, immigrated to Alaska in 1914, homesteading 320 acres north of present-day Palmer by 1921. In 1929, he married Fanny Eaton, who had traveled from England to join her mother, Jenny, in Alaska; together, Adam and Fanny raised three daughters—Hazel, Fay, and Violet Jean—on their homestead. Following Adam's death in 1944, Fanny transformed their homestead into a dairy farm, operating it until 1957, and remained a respected member of the Palmer community until her passing in 1992.
